Gender roles

First, both Colombia and Spain are considered macho countries. This means that they have a strong sense of masculine pride. Spaniards and Colombians men feel unrelenting pressure to achieve and demonstrate consistent masculinity in all spheres of their lives. In addition men are sexually free and do not suffer any judgment than women have to experience. Also the idea of family dynamics is that the man must provide for the woman and her children while the woman is a housewife. The new generation is changing this mentality but there is a long way to go. It’s important to stand out that I consider that Spain is changing this mentality quicker than Colombia. And maybe this is because they are close to no-macho European cultures.
