Why a Spartan?

Why a Spartan?
Come along with me, and I will explain to you how much Athenians suck. Are you a woman? If so, then you will be treated like the lady you are, however in Athens, you will be treated, well, pretty much like dirt. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, " Dirt don't hurt! "... Well then this is more than dirt this is red clay mud, seriously, they won't let us ladies go out alone...yep, RED CLAY MUD! Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking now, " That's not so bad. "... There's more!
Education and more!
I don't know about you, but I want an education. Yeah, boys get an education in Athens, but girls have to stay at home and learn to cook, and clean, and dance...DANCE! I know what you're thinking, " Well, you could be a dancer." Yeah you could, but people like me can't dance...maybe the chicken dance, but that's about it. Now in Sparta, us girls get a partial education. But a partial education is better than no education at all.
War and Military!
Boys and girls both learn to fight at the age of 7 and up, men go off to the military at age 18, and while their gone, us ladies get to watch over their land, so us girlfriends need all the fighting time we can get. So watch out thieves, and bandits, cause Aubri is guarding the land, and I got 2 fist's and a foot, and I am not afraid to use them!
More about us Girlfriends
As you know, in Athens women can't really can't do much, accept suck. Okay, okay, in Athens you also learn ancient songs, but you can sing any time you want, girl you sing it! You can sing in Sparta too. Any who, what was I saying, oh yea, Sparta is awesome! If you were looking for a city to live in, it would be Sparta. If you were looking for some proper education, you're looking for Sparta! And us ladies need our freedom, and Sparta is the place to be.
My Conclusion...
So when you are done reading this article and your mom asks you what you learnt you say, " Athens suck. " and tell her to read it too. Thank you for reading my article! But you got to admit, Spartans are awesome, am I right, uh uh? Okay, okay I'll leave you alone.
