- 1大男人主義
Machismo is a traditional way of playing “being a man” that puts a loud light on bravery, toughness, and being attractive to women — and on never looking weak. English took the word from American Spanish around 1940, so it still has a Latin American flavour, though people now use it about men anywhere. Though actually, in careful English it is rarely a compliment. Writers and teachers often use it to criticise a show of strength that pushes other people down, or that treats feelings as shameful. Younger speakers may joke with it; others treat it as a real social problem. It names the whole attitude, not one joke or one afternoon at the gym.
組成Spanish macho (“male”) + -ismo (“-ism”). First attested in English in 1940, from American Spanish machismo.
