@shennehs_rey2584 Yeah, but do you just live in the culture you were born into without questioning it? If you do, you are a slave. It’s your duty, as a thinking human being, to interrogate and question everything you encounter. You have no defence in the simple fact you were born in a certain country. So, Mexico may be patriarchal, macho, hidebound when it comes to the modern world; your job is to think about this and do what you think might be efficacious in changing this situation if you consider such a change desirable. I’m always very, very wary of countries/cultures who consider themselves ‘all that’. We the outsiders, will be the judge of that. If I go to Mexico, and see an overtly macho culture that relegates women to the sidelines, I’m going to call that as I see it. My sense is, having visited Mexico twice, is that, yes, it’s a very macho culture, and notwithstanding its ostensible friendliness, there is an underlying self-doubt. After all, any country that needs to assert its friendliness and how welcoming it is, is a country unsure of that status. No one is screaming that the sun ☀️ is going to rise tomorrow.
