I've just arrived in Argentina for 6 weeks to finish my thesis "Machismo and Patriarchy at the Heart of Argentine Culture" for my Masters in Gender Studies at U of T. One of my mentors wrote this interesting blog post:
Machismo in Argentina
What are your experience with Machismo in Argentina?
“Machismo.” The word rings loud in my ears as I walk down the street each day, receiving numerous catcalls. I hear catcalls of “rubia. hermosa,” which means "beautiful blonde girl" in English. These catcalls are the soundtrack to my daily commute. Seemingly inconsequential words that shouldn’t roll off my back so easily but, after almost two months, are the unfortunate background noise that I’ve adopted here in Buenos Aires.
