Summary

This quote reflects a narrow and judgmental view of women attending plays in ancient times. The author asserts that such a behavior was associated with promiscuous women and prostitutes. However, it fails to acknowledge that this generalization is unfounded and ignores the diversity of women's motivations for attending such events. It perpetuates stereotypes and unfairly stigmatizes women who chose to engage in cultural and social activities, suggesting that only immoral women would be interested in attending plays.
