Kleonike's Pledge and The Womens' Reaction

I found it sort of funny that Kleonike could not come to terms with the agreement she was making while taking the pledge as she repeated after Lysistrata. Like when she says her knees are getting shaky and Lysistrata needs to usher her on. I also found it interesting when Lysistrata introduced the idea to all the women at first how they agreed strongly that the war must be ended and didnt want violence anymore, though when Lysistrata brought abstinence from sex into the mix they completely changed their mindset. Many said they wouldn't until Lysistrata persuaded them to agree. It just seemed sort of funny and interesting how the women seemed to put sex before peace and unity of a country.
