Summary/Abstract: The main aim of the article is to introduce a sociological notion of machismo and honour in social sciences of Lithuania. In Spanish speaking cultures machismo described the values associated with being a man, a macho. Similarly, the celebration of female attributes is known as hembrismo (feminismo), a derivative from a woman - hembra (feminista). For instance, a popular Cuban saying is "soy tan hembra como tú macho - I am as much woman as you are man”.
