Experience. It's getting better, but really only in the more affluent areas
of Mexico, etc.. In many of the poorer town of Mexico women are still
expected to get married by 14-15 and are there to cook and clean and have
children. 
I remember once I went to Chiapas with my sister and a group of women told
my sister that she was an old maid at 22, and that she should wear a dress
instead of shorts, because she would never get a husband in shorts!

The thing is these women_do_ have opinions.
Open a book on women in Latin America and
see what they really have to say,but don't base
your opinions on"your experiences".
Women in Latin America have voices and although
your perception is that of women marrying young,
cleaning,cooking,and having babies there's also
alot of rumbling going on.
