Peruvian Feminist Exposes Double Standards Faced by Women in Relationships

Peruvian Feminist Discusses Double Standards Faced by Women In a recent video uploaded on June 4th, 2025, Peruvian actress and director Carol Hernandez Diaz (@soycarolhernandez2.0) shared her thoughts on the double bind women face in balancing career aspirations with societal expectations around motherhood. Diaz, known for her feminist views, discussed the judgment women face regardless of their choices. "It's curious how, after an interview, people assume what a woman wants or doesn't want," Diaz stated, highlighting the hypocrisy she observes in how women's decisions are interpreted. She points out that women are criticized whether they readily accept or show hesitation in relationships. Diaz also discussed the pressure on women to sacrifice their careers for motherhood, a sentiment echoed by many women. "For years, men have grown professionally without a hint of guilt because they know their children are well cared for by the mother at home," she explained. This inequality, she argues, fuels the ongoing debate about gender roles and expectations. The video, which has garnered significant views and likes in just a few hours, underscores the importance of continuing the conversation about gender equality in Peru and beyond. Diaz's candid perspective offers a valuable contribution to this ongoing discussion.
