ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze the gender discrimination discourse of male miners referred to women working in "schoperías" (beer bars) in Calama. Through a qualitative research in the "schoperías", the accounts of 23 workers were collected, obtained through 11 individual in-depth interviews and two group discussions. Based on a coding system we identified different ways of expressing and concealing gender discrimination, in all of them women are undermined, reinforcing asymmetrical power relations and a sex-gender system dominated by masculinity.
