Who's who?

Are men victims of discrimination on the status quo?

I came to read an article some in some blogspot that discussed a certain scenario which can be seen in the blockbuster hit Best Friends' Forever (BFF). The writer explicitly defended the idea of men tagged as "babaero" since it is sexist and feminist (well.. according to the analysis of the writer eventhough his thoughts are scattered all over the place... peace!).

One way or another, he got a point though. Some guys are being stereotyped as "babaero" eventhough they are not. I affirm that. But then let's try to delve it. How did the society arrived from this view?

MOST guys (take note of the word "most" instead of using "all") hailed women as trophies to be boasted. They would say that infidelity among men are just okay since it is NATURAL. And I certainly DISAGREE with this CRAP!

Just like what the article said that it isn't their fault because "tukso" came over. Well, I beg to DISAGREE again with this CRAP!

Just like what many activists say, "Internal ang mapagpasya." Even if there is that external conditioning, if the guy is sincere (S-I-N-C-E-R-E!!!!), he would not commit infidelity.

It still boils down to the existing patriarchal and feudal culture that affirms the idea of men being the most powerful among all the existing sexes. "Lalaki kasi, kaya OK lang. Mas macho ang dating." SH*T!!!

At some point, men are being streotyped. Indeed because of the norms that can be seen (na mga katoto rin naman nila ang may gaawa). BUT it is not JUST and FAIR to relieve yourself from being unfaithful jsut because of the fact that it is NORMAL.
