The American culture is rapidly changing and so is the moral code. The government is able to make changes to the laws to accommodate the people.

The treatment of women in ancient Greece varied wildly from state to state. Two particular cities stand out as stark opposites: Athens and Sparta. When considering the two, many consider Sparta to have been far more progressive in terms of women’s rights, at least for that day and age.

I most likely would have married a man of the same religion (possibly an arranged marriage or aligned with polygamy) with correlating values and who would dictate a majority of my decisions regarding social choices.
