    No, I think I understood you very well. There is a lot of sexism in Mexico, and you’re suggesting the women stayed covered for that reason, am I right? Is there another reason you aren’t being direct with what you implied in your previous comment? If so, feel free to be direct.

      What protects from cold also protects from heat. Insulation goes both ways. Your natural body temp is lower than 100F and if humidity is compromising evaporative cooling that sweat would give you… It’s better to insulate yourself from the heat. Also sun is bad.
