please responds to this discussion student LindsayIn this weeks articles, “What Is the Right (White) Way to Be Sexual” by Juarez and Kerl and “Mexican Machos and Hombres” by Guttman, they discuss how theres many stereotypes of latinos culture and how they were being treated differently. They mention how differently people are being treated here in the U.S and in Mexico. For instance, in the article “What Is the Right (White) Way to Be Sexual” by Juarez and Kerl they demonstrate some of the inconsistency of Latin sexuality. For example, in the article is talks about Latina women comfortability with their sexuality was measured by their experience buying condoms. It also states, “We live in a society in which men get serviced and women provide the service. Women are the nurturers. I t is assumed that men go out to work and provide economic support in return for housekeeping, child-rearing and sexual availability and they are active and dominant, while women are relatively passive and submissive, having been led to expect men to know best how to satisfy them”. (pg.10). This shows how women were viewed as an object and how women were not there to enjoy sex only the men would get something out of it. Guttman explains how men from Mexico view themselves. For instance in the article it states, “Others may define a friend as “your typical macho mexicano,” while the friend rejects the label, describing his helpfulness to his wife or pointing out that he doesn’t beat her (one of the few generally agreed upon attributes of machos). The men don’t necessarily agree about what macho, machismo, and machista mean, but most consider them to be pejorative concepts, not worthy of emulation.” This explains the masculine pride and how they portray men.
