Fiberbabe, you and I are on the same wavelength.
dr. bill had saidą that that play is a paean to passivity ("abstinence from entanglements"). You and I agree that it is quite the opposite: a praise to (as you well say) "feminist/egalitarian [and] assertive women" who take charge.

(P.S. You enquire about the emphasis on my last-quoted line. That emphasis is in translation I quoted; it is not my addition.)


Another interesting take on the battle of the sexes appeared in a comic strip today:
What she heard: "You can stop starving yourself and eat like a normal person now."
What he said: "Will you marry me?"
