It is unclear whether the term originates in Spain or Portugal. Though there are positive sides of machismo and it remains an important part of Iberian and Latin American cultures, the concept has also been criticized for its perceived role in perpetuating misogyny, harmful gender roles, and domestic and sexual violence.
