The phrase "" arises during a scene of high comedic tension where Ömer Ağa is losing control over his household and the village due to the women's rebellion.

Directed by , Şalvar Davası is a loose, comedic adaptation of the ancient Greek play Lysistrata by Aristophanes. The story follows Elif (played by Müjde Ar), a woman who returns to her native village after living in the city. She finds that the village men treat their wives poorly, forcing them to do all the heavy field work while they spend their days idling in coffeehouses.

: Ömer Ağa represents the traditional, macho authority figure who is increasingly baffled and enraged by the women's defiance.

Inspired by Elif, the village women organize a "sex strike" against their husbands, vowing to withhold intimacy until the men agree to share the workload and treat them as equals. The Famous Scene
