I hope you’re right. We may have taken a couple of small steps in the right direction. The hysteria of feminists at the outcome of the election is most certainly amusing: Shaving their own heads (as if they were Frenchwomen punished for collaboration with the Nazis), proposing a Lysistrata strategy (a little difficult when it comes to the spouses of White women), or murdering their husbands (a truly marvelous way of promoting antifeminism) do not combine into anything more than the loudest female whine I have ever heard.
Ultimately, I doubt Trump will do as much for American men as we want. It’s still a big deal that, despite the hectoring that you describe, more votes went to Trump rather than to Biden. It’s no large victory for antifeminism, but it is a check on the advance of feminism. That’s important.

"Lysistrata" would it be great if that play came to a theatre near you in this day and age.
Indeed.
I do not see "Lysistrata" as being germane to our present cultural norms.
Lysistrata, is as far as I know the earliest example of coercive control and the use of sex to control.
Just now there is a movement known as 4B that I beleive mirrors very much on Lysistrata tactics.
Besides all that, it is perhaps an interesting intellectual exercise.
The first time I read a reference to Lysistrata was in a book by Psychologist Toby Green, "The Men's Room."
