i recently lived in brazil for 4 years & it was ridiculous, the majority of men expect that the woman do as she is told & not have her own thoughts & opinions...many men would prefer that their women remain home, cooking, cleaning & caring for children all the day, then catering to the man`s needs when he arrives home from work...it`s a very-male dominated society...sadly, physical abuse toward women in those countries is also high...how is it possible that women will put up with this type of thing??? lol i guess i`m just too independent & outspoken, but i offended many a man in brazil!!! so i say, good for me!!!

yes, i posted the question many times in order to hopefully receive the greatest exposure, & therefore more answers!!! i don`t care what anyone says i experienced the latin american male mentality 1st-hand, as i was married to an ignorant brazilian man!!! he thought i was supposed to wait on him hand & foot & keep my mouth shut, doing as i was told!!! i`m sorry, but as an american, one of the few things i can be proud of is the fact that we can speak our minds & express our feelings, something that a majority of brazilian women are not encouraged to do...i have many friends who have traveled or live in latin american countries, & they have ALL confirmed that this culture encourages the inferiority of women & superiority of men!!!
