This Post May Not Be Approiate for Our Younger Viewers...

I found this article on msnbc.com about a young actress-turned-lawmaker from Veracruz, Mexico. Dalia Perez, a representative in the state legislator, is under fire for a video she appeared in during her acting days. This clip, was broadcasted on Mexico's most watched morning show this week. Though it seems unrelated, I think it ties into our discussion in class about the role of women in Latin American societies, and especially as politicians and lawmakers.

About her critics, Perez says,

"They want to discredit a woman who's new to the traditionally male realm of politics."

Before you watch the video think about what women have to do to overcome their traditional roles as either the pure figure of marianismo or as spicy latin seducers to be successful professionals.

Then after the video, image if Hilary had a video like this come out while she was in office as a Senator.

I hope this isn't too inappropriate...
