Synopsis
El machismo puede hacernos llorar, pero tambi n re r. No en sus aspectos m s violentos y degradantes, pero s en sus expresiones cotidianas m s sutiles, las que se expresan en la vida diaria de todos nosotros. Si bien la violencia contra las mujeres es su manifestaci n m s extrema, existen mecanismos m s sutiles que se expresan en la comunicaci n, el trabajo, la salud y la sexualidad mediante roles de g nero sumamente r gidos, limitantes e ineficientes. Que las mujeres tengan menos acceso al trabajo bien remunerado equivale a desperdiciar un inmenso capital humano; que tengan menor poder de compra priva a las empresas de un nicho de mercado importante.
