Changing Mexico's Macho Culture

Link to article



The first Mexican Female President
"Margarita Zavala is a Mexican lawyer, mother, politician and wife to former Mexican President Felipe Calderón. She is currently a lecturer and head of a citizens’ movement seeking change in the 2018 presidential election"

This change to Mexican politics is welcomed by the younger generation including peoples 25 and under. If this is the case, the majority of the population is still uneasy about this new change. The overarching idea is that a women in politics helps all women as a whole. So ideally the situation of women should increase with the election of a new president.

I like in the article when it suggests that both men and women can be good political leaders gender doesn't really matter, it is a question of ethics. Does the president respect human rights for both males and females equally, are they going to help the country economically, and will they be honest and have integrity? Mexico has a lot of corruption within the government and what they need are strong ethical leaders who can provide access to education, health care, etc.
