In ancient Athens, men primarily occupied public roles, engaging in politics, military service, and commerce, while women were largely confined to domestic duties and the management of the household. Athenian men were expected to participate in civic life and decision-making, whereas women had limited legal rights and were often excluded from public life. This division reinforced societal norms that prioritized male authority and visibility in the public sphere, while women’s contributions were largely recognized within the private domain. Overall, these gender roles reflected the broader patriarchal structure of Athenian society.
it don't matter if they are men & women that they should have equality.
Free woman and slaves in Athenian life held many roles, most of them supporting. They could do manual labor for pay or in the case of the women, serve as companions and wives.
Athenian women were generally treated as second-class citizens, with limited rights and freedoms. They were primarily confined to domestic roles, managing the household and raising children, while their participation in public life was minimal. Women were not allowed to own property independently or vote, and their education was often restricted to skills relevant to home management. While some women, especially those from wealthier families, might have enjoyed a degree of influence within the household, their societal roles were predominantly subordinate to men.
Spartan women had more rights compared to Athenian women. In Sparta, women were encouraged to participate in physical training, could own property, and had a more significant role in society due to their responsibilities while men were away for military service. In contrast, Athenian women were largely confined to domestic roles, had limited legal rights, and were excluded from public life. Historical texts, such as Xenophon's writings on Spartan society, highlight these differences in women's status between the two city-states.
the men would sit down and look pretty while all the women did all the work :)

The women would stay around the camp and look for berries and gather them, while the men would go out hunting. Thus, the men are the hunters, and the women are the gatherers.

In the forest ecosystem, the roles and experiences of tree women and tree men differ mainly in their reproductive functions. Tree women produce seeds or fruits, while tree men produce pollen for fertilization. This difference in reproduction influences their growth patterns and interactions with other organisms in the ecosystem.
