"The idea of a sex strike is as old as Aristophanes. Undoubtedly after a tiff with Mrs. Aristophanes, he wrote his “Lysistrata,” a comedy about wives who end the Peloponnesian War by resisting their husbands."
"So I created the same women and started with the same story, but then just played it out in a contemporary setting. Also, unlike in “Lysistrata,” the sex strike doesn’t work."
