Can you change a Mexican guy who’s a mysogynist?

[Anonymous]

It’s look like it’s part of the culture in Mexico, but can you change someone? I’ve met multiple Mexican men who think very poorly of women. They call it machismo.

Meh, not that much anymore... That used to be a thing more like 15-30 years ago. There are other races that are way more misogynistic. Like the Russians/Eastern Europeans for example.

But they still somewhat believe in traditional gender roles. For example, they appreciate a woman that can cook and clean. And rarely saw a Latino guy accept to go 50/50 on a date, they usually pay the bill.

True, the guy I just met always pays the bill. Mysogonistic was probably not the word I should’ve used, but he has a very poor view on women. For example he was talking about his friends wife and how he would never want a wife that went out with her girlfriends without him.

Yeah, my friend's partner is like that too, and they're both from Puerto Rico. He won't flat out tell her not to hang out with girlfriends but he is always texting when she's out and being annoying, and the worst part is sometimes he goes out with his friends and doesn't come home till past midnight. Some of them still do believe in certain double standards.

Exactly, they expect for women to not hang out with friends and not drink, but they are’nt like that.

You can never change someone else. That's simply a fact. Unless the machismo/misogynist decides that it's a bad idea to think poorly of women and to disrespect them as less than men, I think your chances are poor to be friends or in a relationship with such a person.

Considering the huge uptick in femicide in Mexico, it’s not surprising to hear that men from that country are misogynistic even as the trend has died down

You cannot change anyone.

Probably not. Avoid them.
