This paper deals with sexual behavior from a gender perspective in women from a town located at the south of Veracruz State, Mexico. I point out how the female sexual behavior is a result from that particular male society and how it imposes moral codes to women, due to their male hegemony which needs to control female sexual behavior. I analyze that sexuality is a social construction and a changing historical product, therefore sexual moral codes are present as changing elements that show in advance the social picture and the female fantasies over their moral obligations. Also, transgressions from the "ruling" perspective are explained in accordance with the idea that accepted sexuality is genderized from a moral point of view but not relevant with the actual activities of the collectivity.

This paper analyzes the interaction between the process of job insecurity in the fishing industry in the 1990s and the sexual division of domestic labor. There are diverse academic studies about the organization of domestic labor among adult household members, especially for heterosexual homes. This work addresses a less explored phenomenon: domestic work of girls and adolescents in their homes of origin. Based on two life histories, we cross experiences that are built around class and gender inequalities that limit the possibilities of upward mobility of young poor girls. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
