i can forgive people for not referencing an ancient comedy that would take an entire paragraph of preamble to explain its relevant before making a point about a fictional story from a long time ago.

it's not like it was a history.

"In a move straight out of lysistrata, an ancient greek comedy where women withold sexual favours to stop a war"

I literally read that shit as part of a three month subject in year nine

Which has what cultural connection to the Korean movement?

It sets a context for people unfamiliar with 4B.

Most people outside of Korea won't be familiar with its internal politics, but anyone with the most basic education will know what Lysistrata is about.

i consider myself to have at least a basic level of education, and this was my first time hearing about Lysistrata
