What is another word for machismo?
Pronunciation: [mɐt͡ʃˈɪzmə͡ʊ] (IPA) 
Machismo, the traditional Latino concept of manhood, has over the years raised eyebrows as its negative connotations have become more obvious. From arrogance, aggression to chauvinism, its synonyms indicate that the word carries a range of negative connotations that perpetuate gender inequality. Other words that can be used interchangeably with machismo include sexism, misogyny, male dominance, and patriarchy. These terms are critical in shaping discussions around toxic masculinity and the social structures that support it. Redefining what it means to be a man is necessary to eliminate machismo and its associated negative aspects. It is time to move away from the machismo concept and embrace gender equality.
