  Satire VI (Juvenal) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Satire VI of Juvenal is often titled Against Women in English translation.

 SATIRE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Satire is a literary technique of writing or art which exposes the follies of its subject (for example, individuals, organizations, or states) to ridicule, often as an intended means of provoking or preventing change.
For instance, the comic strip Doonesbury satirized a Florida county that had a racist law that minorities had to have a passcard in the area; the law was soon repealed with an act nicknamed the Doonesbury Act.
Satire enjoyed a renaissance in the UK in the early 1960s with the Satire Boom, led by such luminaries as Peter Cook, Alan Bennett, Jonathan Miller, David Frost, Eleanor Bron and Dudley Moore and the television programme That Was The Week That Was.

 Feminist Strategies for Teaching Satire VI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
On the surface Satire VI is a scathing, misogynist rant against  Roman women.
Satire VI is ultimately an invective against the institution of marriage, which uses a misogynist underpinning to make its point.
Juvenal’s omission of such women, who obviously present satiric opportunities, is clearly significant.

Rudd explains that sexual satire should be read from an intermediate point of view by which the reader is neither very similar to the Roman reader nor completely alienated from the Roman reader.
In addition the satire must be looked at from both an ancient contextual point of view and from a modern view based on the standards of our own society.
Juvenal has especially ruthless things to say about homosexuals, and he goes so far as to scorn aspects of life in the city because of homosexual men.

 Juvenal, Satire VI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Juvenal's 16 satiric poems deal mainly with life in Rome under the much-dreaded emperor Domitian and his more humane successors Nerva (96–98), Trajan (98–117), and Hadrian (117–138).
The Satires attack two main themes: the corruption of society in the city of Rome and the follies and brutalities of mankind.
In the first Satire, Juvenal declares that vice, crime, and the misuse of wealth have reached such a peak that it is impossible not to write satire, but that, since it is dangerous to attack powerful men in their lifetime, he will take his examples from the dead.

 A. Stauffer: (Out) Raging Women   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Juvenal's consideration of wrath at this point in Satire VI breaks up the meditation on female poisoners with which he concludes the poem.
Juvenal reluctantly approves female rage here, assuming that it is better to know and confront an enraged enemy than try to second-guess a duplicitous one; suspicion, it would seem, is in love with the productions of wrath.
This mystery prompts men, and here Juvenal, to an appreciation of anything that promises to expose the interior of woman, to break down the "cool unreachability" and "serene indifference" of the femme fatale who "beckons, fascinates, and destroys" in a state of unknowable self-sufficiency (Paglia, 22).

 Feminae Romanae: The Women of Ancient Rome   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
With marriage and children considered largely as a business proposition in both poor and rich spheres, Roman literature as written by men is replete with complaints about women; what the women thought of their men has not come down to us.
Plautus, the marvelous comic playwright from the second century BC, wrote endless satires upon the difficulties men had with their wives, echoed by Cato the Elder in a darker vein when he railed at the disguised attempts of women to rule men.
Juvenal, however, could still rail in the established fashion against a friend who'd decided to marry:

The prostitutes of Rome, who regarded the day as their own, performed naked in the theater and, suggests Juvenal (Satire VI), fought in the gladiatorial arena.
Valerius Maximus (II.10.8) relates that it was the custom at theatrical presentations during the Floralia for the spectators to demand that the actresses perform naked on stage.

Some of his charges are clearly overwrought; but there is no doubt that the Roman ladies often abused the very large liberties allowed them, and that divorce, unfaithfulness, wanton extravagance, and many other like evils were direfully common.
Also the women were invading the arts and recreations of men---a proceeding the present age will view more leniently than did Juvenal.
