Thanks. There wasn't much new to me there, but I hadn't heard about sexism being structured differently in Nicaragua, which was quite interesting.

The poster in question has a bit of a habit of generalising from themselves to the world, so I would take it as personally anecdotal before basing a huge amount upon it.

Fair enough. Still, it wouldn't surprise me too much if it were true. I think a lot of what we call sexism is actually a Victorian variant rather than the whole range of possible sexisms.
