学者们认为，从墨西哥到美国的移民通过挑战往往僵化的性别规范而使妇女受益。在圣刘易斯波托西和新墨西哥州进行的民族志实地研究结果使这一观点复杂化。在这里，移民导致了男性和女性之间复杂的相互作用，通过一系列的谈判，女性在某些情况下行使更大的自主权，但也面临着男性主导地位的重申，男性在创造新的方式来表达男性气质的同时，也复制了父权制。这项研究质疑以前的理解，移民对性别角色的影响，并强调需要作出性别分析中心的跨民族主义理论和研究（IM）移民。
Scholars have suggested that migration from Mexico to the United States benefits women by challenging often rigid gender norms. The results of ethnographic field research in San Luis Potosi and New Mexico complicate this view. Here migration results in a complex interplay between males and females-a series of negotiations through which women exercise increased autonomy in some circumstances but also face the reassertion of male dominance and in which males reproduce patriarchal power even as they create new ways to express masculinity. This research problematizes previous understandings of the impact of migration on gender roles and underscores the need to make a gendered analysis central to theories of trans nationalism and the study of (im)migration.
