*************************************

There was an ancient Greek theatrical "precedent" for this form of protest, a play written by Aristophanes, named for its protagonist, Lysistrata. Lysistrata's motivation for leading a women's sex-strike was to stop the endless Peloponnesian war. I think you'd have gotten a good laugh out of all the gigantic overstuffed sausage casings that were costume props in the performance, Morgan! (or not ... :-)

Lysistrata was the third and final of the peace plays written by the great Greek comic playwright Aristophanes (c. 445 - c. 386 BCE).

This was not a typical work stoppage. Instead, there was to be no romantic relations of any kind with their husbands. Further, by occupying the Acropolis, home of the Athenian treasury, the women controlled access to the money necessary to finance the war. Together with the withholding of sex, both sides would soon be begging for peace.
