In the article “Taming Macho Ways”, Elvia
Alvarado describes campesinas work all day and never sit still one minute, but
they could not do some physical things as well as men. Campesinos usually don’t
do housework after they come home. However, men who live in city, they would
help their wives to coke. This is not exist in campesinos house. She thinks it
is unfair for women do all the work. In some campesina families, men don’t support their families, and they beat their
wives sometimes since they drink too much. Neighbors don’t come over to stop
fighting unless it is very serious, and women rarely tell what happened because
they feel embarrassed. Even though the government knew this, they still don’t
want to stop it because it is an important source of income. When men have a
goal, they will work hard. The same as author, she used to gossip and criticize
other women, and flirt with married men. She believes that people can
change, and we have to change the bad habits of the past.
Should the government stop people drinking?
Should men and women treat each other equally?
