Lysistrata : Feminism

Fulfilling my promise in previous post on the elaboration of woman’s inner strength, then this article would be it.

Now, let us see the basic premise of the previous article, upon the sentence that woman is way stronger than man. Well, it is surely not in the physical strength, for we can’t expect a lady able to lift weight equal to those muscular hunks. The strength of woman lies within her soul. That woman will be able to survive much longer than man under any pressure.

And why is it? Well, as I stated in my previous post, man is way stronger in the surface, thus outcome woman in many aspects. However, most people ignore the fact that every woman is constantly faced to pain every month for most of their life span. This can be very excruciating, and there is no way to run from it. And in that pain, they are still working and keep trying to function normaly. This constant pain, will in turn prepare the woman for bigger torture, delivering the baby. Most people would say that this is the hardest trial most women will have to undergo. Without strength, it is impossible for any being to pass it. The pain itself can last for hours or even days.

That was the physical point of view. From the psychological point of view, we can also see that the “old” status of second-class being, in their own extend contributed to forge the spirit and power of women. Being treated almost like a dirt, their survival instinct is trained even better than most men, who is treated like the ruler of the world. This pressure also helps them to strengthen the mental. They tried so hard to keep survive under these kind of conditions. Yet, these “dirts” keep giving and pouring the heart and soul to nurture new life.

All the pressure, all the torture, all the pains, create a spring-like condition for these women. And like spring, the harder the pressure, the stronger the potential energy stored within. The harder the trial, challenge, and pain, the stronger woman’s power deep within her soul. Again, like spring, this is potential energy, which will raise only in an emergency. When men have already fallen, then this hidden force will manifest, as the last safety knop. Woman will be the last one survived, even when the strength of the man has been all drained up.

However, the power of woman is not at all coming from the pain and torture. There is this aspect called love. A hidden power stored to protect her children. If you have already read Harry Potter series, you will find a very distinguished example, Lily’s protection spell towards Harry.

A mother will give away her own soul if necessary to protect the offspring, force driven by the power of love. Most of the times, woman will prioritize her children’s safety over her own. And to achieve this, she will be able to try doing anything.

Thus man have nothing to fight against Lysistrata’s wit. Man is a being of passion and lust, while woman are able to bear it. (And that explain why most men can’t survive when the wife dies first, but woman will be able to survive even after her husband dies first).

And in the end? Well, Lysistrata brought about peace to the land of Greek! End of the story! Hehehehehe!
