Men Writing Absurd Female Characters, But Make It Ancient (Aristophanes’ Thesmophoriazusae Part 3)

We're (finally) finishing with Aristophanes' Thesmophoriazusae and all I can say is: I'm sorry. Please stay tuned for Friday's conversation episode, it helps immensely. Help keep LTAMB going by subscribing to Liv's Patreon for bonus content! CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
