Men think they need to control everything. Control their wives all the time, control every decision. And they don't help at home like we're used to [seeing] men do here [in the U.S.]. I would say the majority, but some, would help their wives. But in general they won't clean, they won't do laundry, they won't go to the supermarket. And I can see that in my life when I was dating my boyfriend down there, we never went to the supermarket together, we never went shopping. It's not, you don't do that, it's not common to see a man. And that's because of the machismo."

But here [in the U.S.], when we came here and we got married, now he needs to clean, he needs to do laundry. And we go to [the] supermarket together, we go shopping and it's normal. But he's fine doing it here, but when he gets there he doesn't even iron a shirt, nothing. Because you have people that do it for you as well. So that's why I think there's the "machismo."
