machismo

A concept deeply rooted in the Spanish-speaking world. It has its origin in a sense of honor, felt to depend on a man's own actions and those of his close family, particularly its female members.
Machismo is present in the home, where even working women usually do most of the housework, and extends to the workplace. It can affect the legal status of women. In Spain legal reforms since the 1970s have contributed to undermining machismo.
