HEGEMONIC MASCULINITY, GENDER ROLES AND INTERFAMILY VIOLENCE IN THE PUEBLA-TLAXCALA, MEXICO

Abstract

The objective of the article is to analyze, from the gender perspective, the incidence of
hegemonic masculinity and stereotyped gender roles in family harmony where it refers to
an increase in violence during confinement by Covid-19 in the Metropolitan Area Puebla-
Tlaxcala (ZMTP) as a result of the unequal distribution of domestic chores and sexism in
Mexico. It is a qualitative investigation where the method of telephone and descriptiveexploratory
survey was used. At the end of the work, it shows that cultural traditions and
the normalization of male domination prevent the eradication of abuse in the home.
