Costa Rican Woman, as in the
case of Costa Rican men, seem to be at a crossroad between traditional
roles and modern ones. Traditionally the country is ruled by machismo,
a system in which the woman is
considered the weaker gender and is limited to certain roles and
behaviors. Under this system the

a prostitute or a saint. This drastic separation or limitation of a
woman justifies how a husband can marry a "saintly" and pure
href="www.costaricaguides.com">woman and sleep around with a
prostitute or a "bad woman".
However, judging by the large numbers of "good"

partners, one can't really say that this dichotomy or separation
applies to current reality. Tico

human individuals, who don't have to choose anymore between being a
whore or the Virgin Mary.
