El Machismo Invisible / The Invisible Male Chauvinism (Spanish Edition)
Description:
'Mexico is a country where men are attended by women from the moment they are born to the moment of their death -- pampered and spoiled by wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters . . . young girls are always told, atiende tu hermano -- attend to your brother -- but young boys are told, cuida a tu hermana -- watch over your sister. We are being governed by men who have never gone to a PTA meeting, never been to the supermarket, and don't know how to deal with real life because they're above it all. I am convinced that we will not succeed in carrying forth a democratic transition if these kinds of men are running the country.'
Although it has adopted a subtle mask, male chauvinism is as strong today as it always was. Because of the damage it produces on modern society, it has become even more imperative to eliminate it. In order to do this, it is no longer enough to give women the same rights, it is time to change the rules of the game. And in order to do that, men must participate. Includes a section on misogyny, and ample questionnaires so men and women reflect about the invisible mechanisms of machismo in daily life.
