The characteristic of raising both women and men for toughness is primarily associated with Sparta. Spartan society emphasized military training and toughness for both genders as part of their collective focus on strength and resilience. Athens, on the other hand, had a more diverse educational system that did not emphasize toughness for women to the same degree as at Sparta. Therefore, the correct response is Sparta.
