So you are going to ask yourself, what is machismo ? So machismo have many aspects of Latin American male behavior, machismo mean the difference between the power of males and females. In terms of machismo, males have an “expansive and almost uncontrollable” sexual appetite, the word machismo come from one word that is (macho) wich mean brave man, in latin america almost every girl is like esperanza's granma the women's are at home they clean and they serve to the man. …show more content…
So Esperanza express what she was thinking, she doesn't want to be another victim of machismo, she want to be free, have her own decision and have her own job and money, esperanzas decision is similar to what happen in the the women's liberation movement of the 1960s and 1970s, girls decided that they didn't want to be Slaves of the mans, this made a new term call feminism which start to make thousands of girls express their opinion about the situation of machismo in america so they went to the streets and protest because they were trying to Make equality between men and
women
Machismo have been changing by the years, machismo is part of the latin culture, in the 1920`s it was something that everyone knew that was happening but none did anything because the girls couldn't express how they feel, but right now in 2016 everything change, machismo has declined over the years and now in in 2016 all women have freedom of expression have their jobs and are not mistreated as much as before, but overall machismo has increased in the arab countries because people is taking religion to the limits, in the muslim countries machismo does not occur because man's want, is because the muslim religion make them change the ways of acting
So overall I think that machismo have been decreasing over the years but I think that it never stop, machismo is of the hardest things to change in our lives because is part of the culture of so many countries around the world, the girls should to fight for trying to get the equality between mans and woman but is difficult for them to get rid of this issue, I think womans have done a really good job fighting against machismo and I think there is several countries which don't really have this issue, machismo is like racism is something that is never going to disappear but I think that esperanza will be one of those girls that will fight for their rights. I am a boy but I support everyone who fight against this issue, I also think that esperanza's name mean a lot because it means (hope) that mean that she will never lose hope and she will fight like a brave woman
