Abstract
Purpose I set out on this qualitative investigation in order to grow intercultural communicative competence (ICC) by answering questions I have had about the differences between the cultures of my two homes. I examined feminist anthropological theories of the macro-region sur Andino regarding Marianism and absent fathers in the mestizo population, the role of panaka, and the collapse of ayllu. Design/methodology/approach The autoethnography lent itself to answering these questions due to my position as a son in the two cultures. Autoethnography explicitly adds both the first-person voice to the research and the authors' positionality. The typology used is analytical realist. Findings I used my memories of my mother and mother-in-law, “mi suegra,” to dialog with the literature and attempt to highlight and explain the differences in the maternal gender roles of the mestizo Latina culture and the British-Canadian culture. Practical implications This research serves as a tool for both language learning and global citizenship education. Language students, teachers and investigators may strengthen their ICC through reflection on cultural differences. Social implications The research has the potential to inform and inspire educational and social interventions aimed at promoting more equitable and inclusive gender roles. By shedding light on gender stereotypes, this work could be a valuable resource for teachers, family counselors and support service professionals. Originality/value The portrait painted of the maternal gender roles of the cultures of Latin America and Canada adds to intercultural competence and sensitivity.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
