Why is this the norm in our Latin culture

I remember when I was a little girl and My mother made me get up early to clean on the weekends while my brothers Got to stay in bed . The amount of times that I got scolded for voicing my disgust. The amount of times I heard “lava tu los Platos porque tu eres la mujer”

(clean the dishes you are the woman )

I always considered it unfair but because this is what I was used to I believed this was normal . I watched my mother serve my father as soon as he got home from a long day of work and it be expected not an ounce of gratitude ,not an ounce of respect from the person that supposedly loved her.

When I got in my first relationship I did what I thought was expected and by doing this I was conditioning the person I was with To expect this behavior from me , so on days that I did not fulfill my “wifely” duties

Then we would have fights and his Macho side would come to the surface ,the you will do as I say because I am the man side came out ,the why did you want a relationship if you where not ready BS came out ,it got so bad that I was afraid of fights and arguments I would make sure that I did what was expected . My duties included cooking ,cleaning,paying the bills and attending the kids .I was a maid without pay or at least that is what it felt like ,now I’m not bashing stay at home moms but this is not what it was for me I wanted to go out and work but I wasn’t allowed to , the man was the bread winner and my place was at home with the children ,it never crossed my mind , I am an adult I don’t need permission I can buy my own beer and smokes but I need permission to go work and socialize? The shit was ridiculous I was so ashamed for years that this happened to me I fell victim to this abuse and for a long time did not even realize it was abuse

Fast forward a few years now an adult and a very independent and successful woman , I don’t cook not because I don’t want to but because I have a very demanding Job ,who wants to come home from a long day of work to clean and cook ? As crazy as it seems , sometimes I feel like I am failing and I feel a sense of guilt , the funny thing is that because both my wife and I are working all the time neither of us expect anything from the other but coming from such a toxic environment its hard to break the chains and break the cycle .So I guess My question is are Latino women just as guilty of falling into the Machismo narrative ?

Are we part of this problem ?

Pero jamás detrás de 🚶🚶‍♀️🧎‍♀️.....

Aunque le arranques los pétalos, no quitarás su belleza a la flor.

Vuelves una y otra pero se bien que llegara el dia en que me pidas ser tu chica que soy yo la que siempre querrás.

Damm!!

En las noches es cuando aparece la creatividad 🔥

No hay ninguna que se compare cómo ella, te pregunto: ¿Qué te hace ser una mujer única, especial y con esencia que nadie más tiene lo que tú tienes? Piénsalo…. Todo cambio tiene su proceso y cada proceso cuesta, lo que cuesta es dinero, tiempo y mucho sacrificio. ¿Que tanto estás dispuesta a lograr hacer un cambio en tu vida? Atrévete a reencontrarte y conocer algo de ti que no conocías, tu identidad femenina es tu prioridad porque en ella encontrarás la esencia de tu propósito que Dios diseño para tu vida.

Usted es bien humana

Dijo una mujer adulta con su hija al lado.

una mujer que se dirige a un sueño americano...

Si no vas a servir a otros en esta vida, al menos no hagas daño.

Today, September 5, the International Day of Indigenous Women is celebrated, in tribute to Bartolina Sisa, a woman who commanded the Quechua-Aymara armies against the oppression of the Spanish, at the end of the 18th century in upper Peru. As a consequence, she ended up being brutally murdered by them. The history of Bartolina nourishes the memory of the women of the indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples of the continent.

There is a great diversity of indigenous women, depending on the peoples they belong to. Migrant women, women living in rural communities or in cities, young women and adult women, women teachers and women leaders. Women mothers and trans women. All of them, with their different itineraries and biographies, give an account of a history of struggle for the visibility of their languages, cultures and ways of building knowledge of the world.

All of them belong to a group whose rights have been violated throughout history. Although much progress has been made, reconstructing their stories and distorting situations of violence that still persist are great challenges that still lie ahead, since thoughts of racism and hatred still exist.

Llévame al mundo donde pueda soñar.

Siento que deje a mi yo de inocente,ilusa, dependencia al crear expectativas en chicos en especial un chico que le confesé que no sólo me gusta... Estaría dispuesta a una relación o con beneficios o al menos algo hasta que mi mente se cansó, se agotaba ese sentimiento sumando que mas chicos me buscaban para sexo.

Me vi dejar esa versión y sentia como se eleva para ser honesta me esta gustando.
