Culture o irrespetuoso?

Question

Conversation is with men from Puebla, Mexico for reference to culture. I'm not sure how to receive the conversation.

Question: Is it considered to be disrespectful when a man references a woman as a domadora? I encounter a lot of what, as an american woman, is considered derogatory and disrespectful but am trying to be mindful of whether it is culture or by choice. Not sure how to address the differences. Thank you.

Welcome to the Forum, LaOSA. Perhaps a bit more context would be helpfun in determining whether what was said was meant to offend or not. - Gekkosan, Dec 25, 2011

Answer 1

"Domar" is to dominate. Whenever you see domador, that refers to a dominating something. Domadora is feminine form. Always be alert to the "dor" or "dora" suffix on the root of a verb, since all the conjugations are too unwieldy for even the supreme Oxford Spanish Dictionary.

As to the subjectivity alluded to, the men are objecting. Well, pardon the smile, could it be oneself? There are feelings and reactions in you, feelings in reactions in the caballeros. The cultural conditioning in both cases is una fuerza domadora (an over-riding force). And choice is contingent on that. Rara vez (=rarely) do we encounter a free agent, for whom "choice" is a valid possibility.

Let them be with their reactions, as you let yourself be in peace with whatever it is to which they react. Don't lump them into categories as they are doing to you. It is arrogant and misinformed to be so.

And good wishes.

Answer 2

Hmm... I only taking a guess from the definition.

A person could take comments with the subduer or tamer as good thing. You not a weak willed person but some controls or takes over.

Another way this could taken is that you are succubus (Súcubo) .

To help tell the way how to take word it would be better with the context of the conversation.

Answer 3

What is "domadora"? I tried looking that up but never found it.

Tamer but female. - rpem, Dec 25, 2011
