Today was a historic day for Mexico, as the country elected its first woman president. I love Mexico—the culture, food, friends, and family—but it has always been a country with deep-rooted toxic masculinity. This event is truly historic and unexpected. I don’t expect much to change immediately in terms of politics, although I hope for significant progress. It won’t erase machismo overnight. Women all over Mexico are not only still underpaid and undervalued but also face violence and disappearances. They are getting killed and mistreated. I am not physically violent, but I used to embrace that toxic masculinity without realizing it. Each time I return to Mexico, it becomes evident to me how normalized such behaviors are, sometimes even among my close friends and family, in work settings, and in general society.
