Aristotle on Spartan Women

Once again we read about the spartans and how women were portrayed in their community. Aristotle's view I'm sure has a legit point, first of all their times in history are more related, and second men and women were portrayed differently, not as equals back then. Being from the era we are raised in I have issues with Aristotle blaming the women. The lifestyle then was so militaristic and beliefs were so different that women didn't have much of choice or opinion about any public policy. So if the women are inheriting land, and still aren't considered citizens, and the population is overflowing with hoplites, and the complaint is there below 1000 citizens, maybe there needs to be some changes to who can be counted as a citizen.
