Leaving Machismo Behind: Watching My Dad Become a Supportive Feminist<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our special issue of Pero Make It Newsy, we open up about our relationships with our dads and take a look at the bonds between fathers and daughters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria Elena discusses her dad\u2019s journey away from machismo to become an incredibly supportive feminist in his daughters\u2019 lives. Meanwhile, Nikki gives a sweet inside look at her relationship with her dad and how he\u2019s helped her speak better Spanish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love my dad, but like all fathers, he has his flaws and I\u2019ve seen glimpses of when the machismo comes out. Machismo, which is an internal code for men to act tough, is something many Latino men struggle with. My mother, sister and I have called him out many times when he chooses to not show his emotions properly. But as we\u2019ve all got older, and as he\u2019s become more of a caretaker to my mom, he\u2019s shown us (and I hope himself), how much of a feminist icon he really is,\u201d Maria Elena writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria Elena\u2019s tribute to her father shows how she has watched her dad struggle with machismo and how much he has grown to become a feminist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cComo Se Dice?\u201d How My Dad Empowers Me to Speak Better Spanish<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Nikki\u2019s own tribute to her dad, she shares how much she\u2019s come to rely on him to improve her Spanish and feel good about her Chilean roots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen my siblings and I were kids, my Dad loved letting us say Spanish words wrong because he thought it was adorable. He\u2019d shut down anyone who wanted to correct us, whether that person was a kind stranger or his mama. In fact, I said secena (sandia\/watermelon) and totona (McDonald\u2019s) for way longer than I should have,\u201d she writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut as I grew up, my Dad was always there to help me make sense of the two languages swimming in my head.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Father\u2019s Day issue by your favorite Latina newsletter curators also touches on all the different facets surrounding fatherhood \u2013\u2013 from relationships with their children, to mental illness and making sure they\u2019re supportive parents. We take a look at a beautiful photo series of gay fatherhood, as well as the importance of self care. As an added bonus, the new issue includes a touching (and tear-jerking) song about fatherhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
