Fun history fact, this is also called Lysistratic nonaction after a play by Aristophanes and has been seen in both myth and recorded history for a variety of purposes, usually to end wars or other violence, but also often to protest the infringement of women's rights.

Like the old adage goes, “there’s always a relevant Aristophanes play”
