Plato"s teleology, man/woman must do what they are created for. Men women who train together will natural want to copulate. The best men and women should procreate; ordinary should copulate with ordinary. Sometimes bronze may be born to gold and silver or gold and silver born to bronze. They will move up depending on their virtues not by richness. There is covert rule of man over woman: woman is weaker guardian. Given lighter tasks as she is the weaker sex. Arranged to fill needs of daily life. Partnership of several households is a village, and the union of several villages is a city: a city is self-sufficient in that it contains all needed for good life.
