	machismo:friend or foe? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Machismo is an issue that, rather, applies to survival in the Hispanic world, and that I treat in all my language, culture and civilization classes.
		Machismo then, for a Mexican is not only a system that allows him to maintain his honor and that of his family, but it is also a code of survival.
		This has created a duality in the Mexican mythical view of woman: she is either a saint, the representation of the family's honor, the respected wife and mother, or she is a "fallen woman," irredemable in the eyes of society.

	Machismo in Latin America
		Machismo meant that a man could not let anything detract from his image of himself as a man's man, regardless of the suffering it brought on himself and the women around him.
		In their view, Mexican-style machismo is a key factor in the molding and sustaining of the family and personal relationships; as the source of the discipline that instills courtesy and high moral standards in their children." (de Mente (1996), p.

	Challenging Machismo
		However, machismo could be described as a cult of the male; a heady mixture of paternalism, aggression, systematic subordination of women, fetishism of their bodies, and idolisation of their reproductive and nurturing capacities, coupled to a rejection of homosexuality.
		Machismo is not just present in the behaviour of individual men: it is manifested in political and social institutions and is deeply ingrained in the culture (Monzón 1988).
		Machismo gives rise to powerful images which legitimate women's subordination, and establish a value system which is concerned with regulating not so much relationships between men and women, but relationships between men, where women are conceived of as a form of currency.

		The word "machismo" is obviously of Latin origin, and the image of the "macho man" is often given to Latin men.
		The Spaniards not only imposed machismo through psychological violation, but they also imposed it by external means, 'the same way that Catholicism, horses, pork, and deadly diseases such as the "great plague" were imposed' (Mirandé 35).
		The final source of machismo, and possibly its truer Latino form, is said to have existed in Aztec society before the arrival of the Spanish.

	Machismo
		Machismo conjures up images of strength, silence, stoicism and self-reliance, the lone man (must it always be a man?) on a constant quest to master all that is around them.
		Central to the idea of machismo is the conceit of what is right, what is proper: ‘This is not how a man behaves’, and what is brought into question is the virility of the hero character.
		In this show five artists explore this gendered conceit of machismo and in doing so pit its inherent destructive urges, the desire to smash up the things that one doesn’t understand, against its other trait, the willing-up of something out of nothing through sheer force of will.

	Machismo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term machismo is normally not colloquially used in Spanish other than in a self-referential way, the term itself being the topic.
		This is because the word is extraneous to the traditional lexical repertoire Spanish-speakers have historically relied on when discussing concepts relating to masculinity and femininity.
		In the play (and in the motion picture), Stanley epitomises the hyper-masculine alpha male, socially and physically dominating and imposing his will upon his wife and her sister, Blanche Dubois.

		was an incredibly tough act to follow, and the album that followed it, 1988's Machismo, isn't as strong or as consistent.
		Machismo isn't a bad album; a few of the tunes are excellent, including "Skin I'm In" (a poignant commentary on racism), the rock-influenced "Promiscuous," and the jazz-minded "In the Night" (which features the late jazz trumpet innovator Miles Davis).

	Machismo, what is it?
		The first misconception regarding this 'machismo' trait would be that, in order to be considered 'macho' (possessing machismo), one must supposedly be able to stand one's ground..
		Those who hold to this type of misapplied, ill-conceived notion of 'machismo' usually turn out to be no more than little boys in men's bodies who never really understood what it meant to apply masculinity the way it was designed.
		To begin we have to start with a principle that the ignorant man has yet to learn; It is the responsibility of the strong to assist and nurture the weak.

	UPNE - Presidential Machismo
		DeConde attributes much of this pugnacious behavior to "machismo"-the display of virility-on the part of men already attracted to power, concluding that even weak presidents act differently when flexing their military muscle.
		He reveals how presidential machismo has thrived as modern media and the American people celebrate executive accomplishments in foreign affairs, elevating those who wage successful wars to the status of heroes.
		Presidential Machismo approaches this issue with an overdue irreverence that questions the bold use of executive authority and serves as a corrective to the cult of veneration.
