Women in my culture have suffered through a lot in their lives; their hands are so beaten up, filled with calluses, burns and gashes. At such a young age they started to work hard, back then is was rare that a girl was allowed to go to school. Instead they had to help with the household chores, a big responsibility was the preparation of the food. They had to make tortillas, it didn't matter if they burned themselves they had to keep going because the men depended on them to have the food ready when they arrived from a hard day at the field crops. When girls got a bit older their responsibilities increased, they had to start helping at the field crops. That was no place for a girl/women because there was a lot of danger in the field. The work had to fast but really cautious to prevent to get bitten by a snake or a scorpion. A bite from them was deadly, many died from it due to a lacking of a medical center that could help them. In my culture women are not equally respected like men but one thing for sure the biggest insult for a woman is to have a child of their own to rebel against them.
