This "fact" that floats around that historically, women couldn't work or go away from home is quite pernicious, whereas, in reality, it was quite the opposite. The trick is that back then, businesses ran out of the house. Mom and Pop shops have been around since commerce began.

Fr. Only women in aristocracy weren't working. Working class women HAD to work.

In Italy, cases of a real gender pay gap, in the sense of discrimination for equal work or work of equal value, are very rare. It is more accurate to speak of a gender earning gap, meaning that women are more likely to accept unstable or part-time contracts or to work in lower-paying jobs.

Great interview (and great interviewer)! Lots of insights. I think the mama boy things is really about if you can be independent and take care of yourself, not just if you live at home with your mom. Especially interacting point about Italy being a matriarchal society. In the private life probably, but at work it seems a terribly backward place.

It's a matter of generation. I think older men will show a more traditional behavior pampering women and fully taking care of bills 100%, they expect to maintain a certain role with the man providing for the financial aspect and the woman providing for what is considered "a woman's task", like taking care of the household and so on. Younger generations are trying to change this kind of mentality and take equality into serious consideration, everything must be done splitting the duties, the bills, etc. As an Italian woman, I prefer the second kind of situation. We both work and we both earn a salary, so our time and money will be split 50/50, we are able to pay equally and we are able to do what's necessary in the household helping each other in all the daily tasks. We're not in the 1950s anymore, when the majority of women were not working and they were "forced" to maintain a traditional role of stay at home wife and mother, while the man was the only one working and paying for everything. Luckily we have evolved and the wind of change is also affecting the younger generations, from the millennials onwards...

I'm really suprised of their answers. As a Hispanic woman, I'm very spoiled by men. In Latin America, machismo is a big thing which is men taking on traditional roles. I know there are a lot of negatives with machismo against women, but I never experienced those negatives. It's been a positive for me.

Why would Italian women need to be a Feminist when the culture is already a Matriarch?

Basically the same in Portugal, a lot of us are mama’s boys, we are a matriarchal society although it’s because women would agree with the patriarchal role meaning the women control most things but men still had the final saying, been women beaten, men been drunk and betrayal was the norm maybe that’s why most of us now are only religious in name because they were and are hypocrites now depends by age and socio economic background but it a lot fairer than before still there’s problems with dv and romantic abuse are still prevalent. Most men still like to provide otherever women need to contribute and we don’t like if we see we are been taking advantage of so I would say most try doing 50/50 or the one that earns pays more. Because of religion and been shamed by elders Portuguese women are seen as difficult because no matter what they do, someone will call them wh0re, elders also like to impose their way of life in young because they outnumber us we can’t move our country forward again this is mostly lead by women, women outlive men so I guess they have the last laugh

These are one of the things women will never admit on camera, but they secretly wish for in their innermost feelings. They want CONTROL! They want men to do what they WANT and their boyfriends mothers get in the way. That's why most of them will regard it as a negative thing. It goes beyond all that "men must be more independent perspective". They want men to take care of them, but they don't want competition. But i also believe they should regard being a mama's boy as a good thing as they should see it as a preview of how they are going to be treated if they marry this kind of man. But again, they don't want competition. Hence they start complaining.

About birth rates decreasing, this is a serious issue as Europeans are already facing the consequences. Because you know, a society need young people to keep the work force and the pension system. They try to keep it from collapsing with migrants, but it isn't aging well. And the Government is to blame as they only increase taxes and debase the currency, decreasing people's purchasing power.
