Paper Summary:
This paper examines how Matthew C. Gutman wrote a compelling book on what it is to be a man in Mexico City called "The Meanings of Macho". It looks at how he found he was not happy with the work other anthropologists had done on the stereotypes of machismo there. It explores how the book brings forth and discusses several key issues, such as the division of labor, expectations of sexual morality and safe sex, and domestic violence.From the Paper:
"Additional issues that are discussed in the book are the expectations of sexual morality and safe sex, and the struggle to legalize abortion. Neither gender really understands sex or each other's bodies but as a whole, women are much more educated about sex than men as they have more opportunity to talk about it than men do. Women are in charge for using birth control in their relations with men. This is frequently made difficult, however, because men are often opposed to using condoms."More papers on "The Meanings of Macho":
