Being the expert on "Latin" and other world cultures you have claimed to be, I am shocked that you were not expecting this. Machismo is one of the oldest social concepts around. It's just the way it is. It isn't right but after hundreds and hundreds of years, it's still going to take TIME to reverse it.

You're only making it worse. You're making yourself the victim. You're allowing yourself to be more vulnerable to their attacks. The most hypocritical thing is that you don't notice these things in your own country. You talk about how you miss short skirts and heels, acting as if these things wouldn't lead to you being "hit on" back in the states.

You say you're tired of being degraded when you degrade yourself by acting like a slut at clubs, dressing like it, not caring, not being SMART about the way you carry yourself. You're naïve. Instead, you sing the same things in songs back home, "I want to fuck you" jokingly, nonchalantly and don't think that mainstream messages like that are degrading or hurtful or an attack on women. Here you are having those same words said to you which changes the situation. So it's okay when you sing songs about degrading other women?


piss. off. GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY.
