Brazilian progressivism is young and feminine, writes Luiz Inácio Lopes. Lopes: If it has always been said that Brazil is sexist, today it will be necessary to review that old prejudice.

The country is still dominated by the most stale masculine canons, but something is changing, Lopes says. In the last presidential elections 62% of women, especially young people, voted against 47% of men, he says. The fact that it is women and the youngest who above all represent the progressive element in customs is being studied even by science.
