Dear Liyana,
I am surprised by you writing on Machismo and find it very interesting. I find it interesting it because In Latin American culture, machismo is a social behavior pattern in which the Latino male exhibits an overbearing attitude to anyone in a position he perceives as inferior to his, demanding complete subservience.
One sentence I found interesting you said was “t shows the problem behind certain outdated gender norms and the youth’s understanding of parent legitimacy. It speaks on the complicated relationship between males and females in hispanic households”. I completely agree with you that there is certain outdated gender norms in the Hispanic community.
Thanks for your writing.I look forward to seeing what you write next.
