    Philippines: Gender Inequality Is The Idea and Situation That Women and Men Are Not Equal

    Uploaded by

    Lei Pangilinan
    Gender inequality remains an issue in Filipino relationships. While women have made gains in politics and business, traditional gender roles still influence relationships, with some women wanting to be pampered and waiting to be asked out. One factor contributing to the imbalance is the influence of Catholicism from Spanish colonization, as the Bible suggests male superiority. Discrimination also exists in Philippine society based on educational background, race, and social standing, with LGBT students in particular facing bullying and lack of access to information in schools.

    Discrimination! Of course you have heard of discrimination, but what is it.

    A dictionary would tell you


    discrimination is "to make a distinction in favor of or against a person." Discrimination is a lot more than just
    that: it's hate, hurting, judging, ignorance, and can even lead to death. The world we live in has been
    struggling with this sensitive subject, for as long as we have record of. Many people believe discrimination
    has made a big step forward. But has it? If it has, why do people still receive hate mail, or get called names,
    or die because they differ from each other. I guess these are questions you must ask yourself. I guess you
    could also ask yourself, if you..

    Inequality in Filipino Relationships

    Gender equality is a special cuisine, a new recipe or rather a lost one, that has been so evasive. Filipinos, together with the
    whole world, started craving for it many decades ago and fortunately, the hunger is slowly being satisfied. We are one of
    the few who are given the chance to taste it. Philippines has high women empowerment in politics and economy compared
    to other countries in Asia. Women have proven themselves to be capable of holding various important positions, in the
    government and private companies alike. But truth be told, these are actually only a part of the real ...

    But why are there still women who squeal in delight, "Oh, you are such a gentleman!" or girls who dreamily say "I want to
    go on a date with him, but I should wait for him to ask me" or girlfriends who want to be pampered? We cannot judge
    these people but it is obvious that the equality in relationships is not really a fight. It is just like a food everybody is
    endorsing to be delicious on television but in reality, nobody really likes the taste.
    Our religion can be one of the main ingredients of this unattainable balance. Being under the Spanish colonization for more
    than three hundred years is enough to imprint the values of Catholicism in generations after generations which can
    withstand the western influences. The after taste of that chapter in our history is too strong to forget. The Bible has many
    passages suggesting, directly or indirectly, that man is superior over woman. There is the divine creation where God took a
    piece of man's ribs to ...

    There certainly is discrimination in our country especially with the social classes. Even with educational institutions, a
    graduate of UST, DLSU, ADMU, and UP will have an advantage as employers I think already have a bias nomatter
    how qualified an applicant is.

    Race may not be as big an issue (but social standing and geographic location are) with fellow Filipinos but foregners
    are not treated the same wether it be better or worse.

    A person may not intent to discriminate against another person, but it is still discrimination.
    Harassment – inappropriate jokes, insults, name-calling or displays such as a poster or cartoons directed at
    a person because of their race, colour, sex or gender, sexual orientation, etc.
    Gender inequality is the idea and situation that women and men are not equal.
    Sexism is prejudice or discrimination based on a person's sex or gender. Sexism can affect anyone, but it
    primarily affects women and girls.

    Schools should be safe places for everyone. But in the Philippines, students who are lesbian, gay,
    bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) too often find that their schooling experience is marred by
    bullying, discrimination, lack of access to LGBT-related information, and in some cases, physical or
    sexual assault. These abuses can cause deep and lasting harm and curtail students’ right to
    education, protected under Philippine and international law.
