ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Machismo

Machismo is a way of thinking that some men have. It is when they believe that they are very strong and powerful, and that men are supposed to be better than women. Some people who believe in machismo think that men have to be tough, and that they cannot show their feelings or emotions. They might also believe that men can do things that women cannot do.

However, this way of thinking is not fair or accurate. Men and women can both be strong and emotional. Everyone should be treated with respect, no matter what gender they are. Believing in machismo can hurt relationships and make people feel bad about themselves.

It is important to remember that everyone is equal and deserves to be treated that way. It is okay to be yourself and important to respect others for who they are. We should celebrate our differences instead of judging people based on gender or other differences.
