What does Veronica Ortiz mean when she talks about “the culture of machismo”? How does the idea of machismo connect to “Marin”?

the culture of machismo is men having authority

Explanation:

Machismo is a way of saying that some men and women believe that women should stay at home and clean while the men go out and work and come home to do nothing. It is the idea that men have more power and authority meanwhile women do the majority of the heavy lifting at home and go unappreciated. Not sure how it connects to Marin though. Hope this helped
