abstract = {The purpose of this article is to study the progress made in Spain in terms of gender parity
and the challenges still pending to be achieved in this regard. To attain this objective, first of all,
the authors review the successive legal regulations aimed at reaching gender equality that have
been enacted in Spain. Furthermore, the considerations and findings made are based on the use
of quantitative and qualitative methodologies. On the one hand, from a quantitative viewpoint,
different statistical data provided mainly by the Spanish Statistics National Institute are analyzed.
From these data, the authors prepare a set of tables and figures that allow them to show that, despite
the undoubted legislative advances attained, clear gender inequalities continue in Spain. On the other
hand, the authors base their assertions both on their participant observation and on a reinterpretation
and reanalysis of the results of two previous qualitative researches. One of the most remarkable
outcomes of the use of this qualitative methodology is the persistence in Spain of diverse signs of
macho mentality. This persistence not only manifests itself among many men, it is also shared by a
large number of women.},
