Athenian Women: An Inferior Society

Because women can not possess their own land, these are the husband's slaves. The main responsibility of women in the culture of Athens is to cultivate and cultivate great and versatile children, which are good at sports and academic skills, which is an active contribution of Athens society. Boys are more popular than girls, but neither is accepted. However, the wife never said who the father of the child is. In Athens, marriage is not for love. The bride and groom's father almost always arranges for it.

Beautiful society likes art and literature very much, cherish the whole and excellence. However, one of the things the Athenian did not appreciate was a woman. They are considered to be inferior to men and are often seen as decorations than people. Women in Athens spend most of their time at home, unless they need to help their husbands with agriculture, crafts, or similar trade skills, rather than poor people. In Athens, this is a status symbol for women, they die very much ... or when trying to resist. Women have no right. They were forced to become robots and they were executed only for the men they were about to get married. The only work a woman is allowed to have is his mother 's job, and they are not allowed to talk unless they are told, and certainly have no personal opinion. Only after the liberation movement of women began in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the overall concept of women changed.

In ancient Greece, especially in this city, women were thought to be inferior because they are intellectually weak. In addition to Plato, the philosophers of Athens believe that women need a guardian as women have strong emotions. Thanks to this special discourse, free women are regarded as second-class citizens who do not influence politics, economics and culture. Following the downgrade of free women to their families and the Greek belief that women are only children, their status in society has further declined. They have rights such as jewelry, slaves, clothing, cheap, but women are usually dominated by male relatives and husbands. Marriage is considered to be only a social contract that protects property for a long time and ensures continuation of family ancestors. Then consider the woman as the purpose of trade and use it according to the desires of the man.
