What metaphors are used in Lysistrata by Aristophanes?

After the women seized the Acropolis, men tried to make the women leave by smoking them out. The men were unsuccessful and then they tried to forcefully remove them using armed men but were once more unsuccessful. Then, men started to remark that women are beasts and are dangerous even claiming that the reason why they locked themselves was to have an orgy, not to militate for a noble cause. These remarks, combined with their attempts to smoke them out like someone would smoke out an animal from an unwanted place points towards the fact that men did not see women as humans but rather as beasts. Because of this, it can be assumed that the women are used as a metaphor for danger and bestiality.
