It may seem as though the war coming to an end has brought improvements to gender issues‚ but reading deeper into the context suggests otherwise. Throughout countless times in the play‚ the idea of listening to ideas or suggestions by women would be considered rather absurd‚ and even more common to ignore them completely.
