As a European woman coming to rural Mexico, one thing I have had to grit my teeth through is the machismo I have come across. I have by no means been insulted, but I have had to quickly adjust to my new role as a woman in a macho society, having doors held open for me, not quite being taken seriously as a holder of opinions, and shocking people by my ability to drink beer. They also don’t appear to be able to fathom that I, as a woman, tell dirty jokes and swear like the best of them (by them, I mean men).
