Dutiful Hijas Opinions

This text and pretty much everything we have read in class has to do with feminism in a way. This text was actually more interesting to me since it had to do with Hispanic traditions and I am Hispanic myself. I never knew that all of this was going on and that it was this intense. Yes, the daughter is supposed to have some responsibility to help. I feel as if though in this passage what is going on is too much dependency on the daughters when the males are perfectly capable of  having some dependency put on them as well. If the men are making money wouldn't that mean that they should help support their spouse and daughters to help them have a better future. It would be more effective this way if everyone contributed instead of everything just being put on the daughters. This is only my opinion, but I feel like most people would agree with me. This shows how the traditions in America differ from traditions in other places. It is just not fair. In this article they say suffering will make a good woman out of you but I believe this is not true. I think this will just stress women out more and it is not fair and should be stopped. Everyone should have equal rights no matter where they are. There is just no reason to put all the responsibility on women. At the end of this excerpt I feel like her mother taught her all of the right lessons on how to be a strong women and sort of move away from feminism in a way but still hold those values. She will probably still have those feminine values but not let anyone take advantage of her and put all of the dependency on her. She learned about power and authority.
