In Ancient Greece women were definitely treated inferior to men. The women could not vote, not take place in public activities and were not even counted/treated as citizens of Greece. The women in Greece were expected to do all the household chores and could only leave the house if they wanted to buy groceries also in wealthy families women were kept away from men and were confined in the back of the house or the kitchen. Women were ruled by their father, husband or if widowed, her son, crazy right!? Women were not treated as equals and were only expected to bear sons and do household chores. I believe that the women in Greece were treated unfairly without any respect. The men that disrespected the women in ancient Greece should have of been punished because i believe that everyone should they for be respected no matter who they are... The men in Greece must have been heartless asking the women to do everything and let the men do nothing. I think the Ancient Greeks, like many ancient cultures, were very wise and foresaw the troubles that would come if women were given equality, and so they chose to view women as sub-human and focus on males as the real people. Our society is proof that they weren't wrong. So I wouldn't say women were treated unfairly, because if you know a person is going to abuse any privileges they're given, denying them those privileges is quite fair. You would have to be treating a person as though they were superior to you not to do that. Denying women's rights is the definition of fairness. they were forbidden to own much property or to inherit it. They were not allowed to vote or to participate in the assembly. Most women were considered to be the ward of the men in their lives.
