Machismo And Its Effects On Society

Machismo and its effects on society

Machismo is a posture or attitude that man adopts to feel superior to women, making machismo a form of discrimination, lack of morality and ethics to the integrity of the female sex, making aggressions towards women either physically or verbally. A man by making a woman a person unable to carry out different activities for the simple fact of being a woman and being "weak" either because of his way of thinking, for his physique or for his attitude, this is a lack of consideration towards himfemale sex, making this action an abuse, lacking their rights as a person and observing the environment as an environment of social inequality.

Over the years, machismo can be made known to society in different ways, sometimes directly and sometimes indiscreet. As for example many years ago, in some that other underdeveloped countries denied the woman the right to vote, making them incapable of making decisions, or thinking that they can give a bad criteria to the elections, therefore, theyThey did not participate when choosing a ruler. Today in Dio, both men and women are taken into account, whether they have different sexual orientation, as in the case of the LGTB community, all have the right to choose their rulers and make their own decisions.

Machismo comes to occur in men due to many reasons, one of them is raising, as they raised as a child and that affected so much in their youth and adulthood, if the family had communication problems, strong discussions, fights between father andMother, machismo reflected by the father towards the mother, or perhaps the hatred that felt at home, making man want to be a real man, so that no one doubts his sexuality, this causes arrogance in the child by making him making himBelieve that he has the ability to dominate women, and this would be reflected when this individual has a relationship.

Another reason can see, are the influences of the social environment in which the individual is created, either through friends of the school, co -workers or unknown people and their public actions, observing this type of discrimination, can make this individual aPerson who believes himself superior to a woman where he involves the physical appearance since it is believed that if a man for the simple fact of having more muscle or a contexture superior to that of the woman, this is the one to take command, but notThey realize that each person is human, either of male or female genre, all capable of achieving the same objectives, without any physical difference that affects the personality and integrity of themselves, so there is a constant struggle for the rights ofwomen, since they are not lower than men.

It can be the case in which machismo can affect the same man, in the way that a man abuses, mistreats, exploits or humiliates another to look more masculine, is being controlled and follower of machismo. Machismo has become a social control factor and sexist exploitation, for example, if man performs any action that is considered feminine, which is a pillar of homophobia, which is fear or panic to obtain female behaviors. It involves the fear of becoming homosexual, so it adopts a behavior obliged to man’s heterosexuality.

We can see that machismo is found in homes where women are only a housewife with the things to do at home, since some men force them to limit themselves since they believe they are not suitable for participating in different work ampos,They believe that because they are "weak" they cannot develop or do heavy things. This behavior becomes harmful where society treats toxic because it contains everyone in a single mold. He teaches women or men to think and act in a certain way, and if we can think that men have much more freedom than women, everything can change when they are forced to be the livelihood of the home and teach young peopleAnd children not to reflect emotions because they supposedly make them less male.

Finally, repressed and psychologically affected men are obtained. Girls, on the other hand, are taught to be delicate and fixing a provocative stereotype for men, which then not being achieved effectively causes eating disorders and the supposed lack of appetite. More specifically: for machismo they are not human beings, they are only women.

On the other hand, macho thinking has had serious results for society as the high rate of violations, femicides and domestic violence in different parts of the world. Machismo teaches children since they are young to obtain what is their own regardless of what they are going through, to think that women only dress “provocatively” to have sex and that in the house the person who has control is themen.

In conclusion, human beings are very different to limit themselves in the rules or directions of a stereotype that was created by the same humanity. Happily is a thought and ideology that over time will expire and change the ways of thinking about people to obtain the common good in society. A man when he believes himself superior to a woman looks as a total dislike for society today, and who can cause psychological damage, so day by day he fights for rights and equality between men and women. And obtaining a more developed community with a critical thought and good coexistence, without the social differences that occur in our environment.
