“…This is problematic as this assumes White/Western masculinity occurs on a continuum, while Hispanic manhood only encompasses negative aspects of machismo. The widely held Westernized views of machismo assert Hispanic men are expected to enact aggressiveness and power during interactions with women (Arciniega et al, 2008;De La Torre, 1999;Estrada & Jimenez, 2018;Guidotti-Hernández, 2021;Hendy et al, 2022;Perrotte et al, 2020). This one-dimensional lens of Hispanic masculinity has contributed to the limited awareness of caballerismo.…”

Identifying Hispanic college women’s perceptions of their ability to initiate sexual intimacy is critical given findings showing it can be a protective factor against sexual assault and other negative outcomes. Although research has shown sexually assertive behaviors are increasingly becoming normalized among women across college contexts, research specifically focused on Hispanic women’s perceptions of these behaviors remains limited. Guided by sexual scripting theory, this study examines 36 Hispanic college women’s subjective perceptions of women’s initiation of sexual intercourse with men. Two key themes were identified through thematic analysis: (a) perceptions of women’s sexual assertiveness and (b) appropriate strategies for initiating sexual intimacy. Although traditional gender beliefs did influence their beliefs, being sexually assertive was viewed as an acceptable strategy by most participants. However, fears of violating norms communicated via familial, peer, and cultural messaging influenced women’s ability to initiate intimacy with men. These findings highlight the importance of developing interventions targeting gender and contextual beliefs to increase healthy sexual initiation skills and reduce risk for unwanted sexual experiences among Hispanic women on campuses today.

“…Often attributed to Latinos, Machismo is a multi-cultural sub-type of masculinity and a learned driver of idealized beliefs, behaviors, and abilities of men; the term matured into the cultural lexicon after 1940 (Guidotti-Hernandez, 2021). Although it is currently a stereotype for "all that is male chauvinism" (Hurtado & Sinha, 2016: p. 407), Mirande (2018) described Mexican and MA men's use of the term with an array of definitions and outcomes.…”

“…The mixing of methods occurred in the final analysis, focusing on integrating the understanding of the narrative over relationships, agency, and cohort. The interpretation was fostered by an ontological view afforded through Levinas's description of alterity (1981; 1979; 1987) and MA masculinity (Guidotti-Hernandez, 2021;Hurtado & Sinha, 2016;Lipsett-Rivera, 2019;Sobralski, 2006) in the context of ML experiences.…”

The Life-Course Perspectives of Mexican American Men With Mobility Limitation

et al. 2023

The life-history narratives of 10 Mexican American men with mobility limitations, age 55–77 years (mean = 63.8, SD = 5.8), were explored using a qualitatively driven, life-history mixed-methods study to understand perceptions of mobility limitations over the life course. Within that methodological and paradigmatic framework, conceptualizations of alterity and masculinity guided interpretation of data. Through an iterative, thematic analysis, we detail the way the men’s lives were influenced by growing familial responsibility with age. Quantitative data were integrated into themes of narrative inheritance, family, and masculinity. It was posited that masculinity with mobility limitations shaped and was shaped by ethnic identity and responsibility. This has implications for understanding the experience of Mexican American men over the life course.
