How bad was their situation? Sparta had a legally distinct non-citizen class, the mothakes, large enough to be worth noting in the order of battle, which consisted of the male children resulting from the rapes of helot women by spartiate men. That bad.https://acoup.blog/2019/08/29/collections-this-isnt-sparta-part-iii-spartan-women/ …

Now, if they want to say *citizen* Spartan (=spartiate) women had more rights and greater autonomy than *citizen* women in other poleis - that's a position you can defend (but also open to at least some argument) - but to a pop audience that's a lie of omission.

the game developers for Civ VI deciding to make Gorgo one of two potential playable "leader" characters for the Greek "civilization" (the other being Pericles) is an all-time facepalm moment, even by the Civ franchise's already rock-bottom standards of historical fealty

not sure if it'd be worse if the devs picked Gorgo to pander to undereducated gamers whose knowledge of women in ancient Greece boils down to "hey didn't Sparta have that hot queen played by Lena Headey in 300?" or if the devs did it because they share that perspective themselves

Bret: did you not see '300'? Spartans were the only freedom-loving mainly heterosexual republican patriots who stood up to diverse, promiscuous, proto-Marxist hordes of Persia!
