To ACC: What does anything that is written in ‘The Meaning of Macho’ have to do with the Anglo culture’s perception that it’s wrong when men make lewd, sexual remarks at women walking down the street? Even if the book brilliantly contrasts how Anglo women differ from Latin women, what does this have to do with how Anglo women wish to be treated, and why can’t Anglo women be treated the way Anglo women want to be treated? Why can’t men respect the fact that Anglo women don’t want to be catcalled? Muslim women come to the United States and Canada and wish to wear head scarfs. Should we ask them to take those head scarfs off simply because Western men prefer women who don’t wear head scarfs? Muslim women feel uncomfortable without their head scarfs. Should we force them to feel uncomfortable without their scarfs simply because this makes Western men happy? Latin men enjoy giving catcalls, but catcalls make Anglo women uncomfortable. Should we force Anglo women to accept catcalls simply because catcalling women makes Latin men happy? You say Latin culture has ‘a far healthier attitude’. What does this have to do with Katie complaining about Latin men making lewd, sexual remarks? Does the fact that Latin culture has a healthier attitude somehow condone the fact that these men are making lewd, sexual, comments? And what is it you are suggesting when you say Latin women have ‘healthier attitudes’? Are you suggesting that if Katie were more Latin, she could handle those lewd, sexual, inappropriate comments? In other words, you’re saying let’s not blame the grown men making these lewd, inappropriate remarks, let’s blame Anglo women for not being Latin enough.
