Zinn's reading, is talking about that Chicano men are considered by ' Macho Men', which they controlled everything from the house and their families. So basically they controlled everything around them and it became for advanced for everyone. Also the Chicano fathers considered being more important with their children and also to give them positive influences in their child. In the country, Puerto Rico, Cuban, Mexican American and etc. have the urge to have the stress dominance, aggressiveness,, physical powers and other masculine traits. In pg. 28, I see that, " Davidson and Gordon suggest the following social conditions affect the development of gender roles in ethnic groups : one: the position of the group in the stratification, two: the existence of an ethnic community, and three: the degree of self identification with the minority group. Also Chicanos are overly strong with sex typed in terms of masculine identity.
