Run two ad campaigns; one aimed at women that emphasizes the Republican attack on womens health by outlawing abortion, defunding Planned Parenthood and criminalizing birth control. The other to be aimed at men that simply says, Republicans want to take away birth control and when they do your nookie goes with it.

(633 posts)Lysistrata (/laɪˈsɪstrətə/, also /ˌlɪsəˈstrɑːtə/; Attic Greek: Λυσιστράτη, "Army-disbander" is one of the few surviving plays written by Aristophanes. Originally performed in classical Athens in 411 BC, it is a comic account of one woman's extraordinary mission to end The Peloponnesian War. Lysistrata persuades the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands and lovers as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace a strategy, however, that inflames the battle between the sexes. The play is notable for being an early exposé of sexual relations in a male-dominated society. The dramatic structure represents a shift away from the conventions of Old Comedy, a trend typical of the author's career.[3] It was produced in the same year as Thesmophoriazusae, another play with a focus on gender-based issues, just two years after Athens' catastrophic defeat in the Sicilian Expedition.
