In Athens to become a citizen you would have to be over the age of 18 and you would have to be a male. You cant be a slave and you cant be a foreigner. But long ago to become a citizen your father and your mothers father would have to be a citizen.

Why was Athens not A full democracy?
The radical Democracy of Athens was "full," but it was not any good, and in fact it became one of the ancient world's silliest, most chaotic tyrannies. During the Democracy, all Athenian citizens were expected to take part in day-to-day government and even to hold office, but relatively few Athenians were actually citizens, only the adult males of certain idle classes. The Athenian merchants were barred from citizenship ostensibly on the grounds that their connection to foreign sources made their patriotism suspect; Athenian women, essentially the house-bound property of the senior male member of their family, were considered incapable of citizenship; immigrants and resident aliens, called metics, had some civil rights, but were not considered citizens; and slaves of course, were not considered at all. Based on his experience of it, Plato considered the Athenian Democracy to be the worst form of government possible.
Did Athenian men have the same rights and responsibilities as the women?
No they didn't. The women were treated like slaves and were not taught to read or write. Young males were taught to read and write. When they were 18 the men had to received military training for 2 years. Then they were full citizens with the right to vote in the Athenian Democracy. Women were essentially property of their fahters and husbands and did not vote or participate in civic discussions before the votes.

In what ways was Athens not a true democrocy?
The main criticism of ancient Athenian democracy is the limitations Athenian law placed upon who could be considered a citizen. The only Athenians who were considered full citizens were Athens-born men of at least 18 years of age. And to be considered Athens-born, both of one's parents had to have been citizens. But while women could be considered citizens, they had no voice in the Assembly, and no real rights within the democracy. Furthermore, slaves had no voice whatsoever in the Athenian democracy.
