Today In Latin American History
Renowned Mexican writer Juan Rulfo, author of Pedro Páramo (1955) and El llano en llamas (1953), was born in Jalisco on May 16, 1917.
La charrería se considera en México el deporte nacional por excelencia. El término deriva de charro, sinónimo de jinete. Esta palabra tiene diversos orígenes: se utiliza en Salamanca (España) como un gentilicio local que proviene del idioma vasco “txar” o “rústico”; también podría provenir de “chauch” que en el mozárabe andaluz significaba “pastor” o “jinete”. Se considera más probable que esta última es de la que probablemente derivan tanto “gaucho” como “charro”.
Como escuela Hípica, se origina en los Llanos de Apan en Hidalgo. Como deporte surge tras la reforma agraria de principios del siglo XX, cuando los antiguos terratenientes emigran a las Ciudades principalmente de México y Guadalajara. En ellas se organizan en asociaciones de charros que gradualmente se extendieron por todo el país dando lugar a la Charrería Organizada. Esta práctica está basada en las actividades tradicionales de la ganadería, como ha sucedido en otros casos las actividades ecuestres y ganaderas son el origen de varios deportes en países de América y del resto del mundo como: el rodeo estadounidense, toros coleados, rodeo chileno, gauchadas, corridas de toros y peleas de toros etc.

It is disgusting. We are told to love sex but never masturbate or fool around. To love our bodies but we have to be hairless, thin, have boobs, and to never wear make up to cover our flaws. We can like sports and watch them but we can’t play them unless they are toned down and pretty enough to be oggled at. We can be nerds but we can’t be TOO smart or we forget our place. We are told we need a prince charming and to seek him out by constantly changing ourselves and being perfect for him. We are given the message that outside beauty is what matters the most but if we have it and get successful it was because we have a pretty face. We are told we exaggerate and should just go with it when we complain of being objects and property. We are taught that being a woman is worthy of an insult… WE have to fear walking at night. WE have to go in a group if we need to use the bathroom in a strange place. WE have to be cautious of where we are and who we are with. That we are told to hush and get over it if we are assaulted because real life isn’t like the crime shows and it is harder to convict the assaulter. That female artists are degraded and yelled at in artist alleys. That you are judged just by how you wear a t-shirt.
