So if no fucking for no war then yes, no fucking, I say." Lampito This perfectly sets up Lysistrata's scheme.

She bemoans the fact that men are always calling women cunning, but they cannot even get it together to attend a meeting she has called. Lysistrata says this in the first scene to express her disappointment with the women of Greece, who are not showing up for the meeting she has called.
