Machismo is considered a form of violence in which the submissive woman is usually accepted and seen in a positive way.

Machismo today is one of the main problems that afflict Mexican society. Seen either from the social sphere where the man is attributed superiority characteristics to those of the woman, merely due to the fact that the cultural belief of an inferiority of her has been ingrained and the masculine gender has been wrapped in an air of adulation. For this, and in order to publicize the many faces that this phenomenon has, it will be covered from the way that this phenomenon is accepted and promoted by women, as well as spread by society itself.

From ancient times and within a global panorama the role that man has played has been glorified due to the awarding of unique and precise tasks for him; same that go from the representation in governmental instances, the sustenance of its family, works where the physical force is involved - given to that it is presumed is greater than the one of the woman - until the Biblical adjudication in where it is presumed that the woman was created from a rib of a man, being this promulgated and respected today by different and diverse societies where Mexico is not the exception.
