Comparing two points of view, the Latino American society´s, represented by Venezuela where sexism is shown openly through the obsession of beauty for the perfect female physic and best behaviour in women, at times outrageously open, and the other; the European society´s point of view, in this case represented by Spain, apparently progressive and liberal but that it reveals a hidden interiorised sexism as destructive and damageable as the manifested machismo.
