Gender And Society Novels & Stories

Their worth goes far beyond this. Women are blamed more because of long-standing societal double standards rooted in patriarchy. Historically, women’s sexuality has been policed more strictly than men’s. Men often escape harsh judgment or responsibility, while women face stronger criticism and social consequences. These attitudes come from outdated beliefs meant to control women’s bodies and choices. The real issue is not women’s sexual expression but the violation of their privacy by those who share content without permission. Accountability must be on those who commit these violations—not the victims.

In today's society, it's pretty hard to stand still, it's our everyday battle to overcome these standards. Kapag ang babae ang galing-galing, bida-bida. Pero kapag ang lalaki ang galing-galing, iniidolo nila. Kapag ang babae nagkaroon ng issue tungkol sa katawan, binabatikos nila, pero kapag sa lalaki, sinasamba nila. At kapag ang babae marunong sa gawaing-bahay, natural lang sa amin 'yon. Pero kapag ang lalaki marunong sa lahat ng iyon, husband material na sila at may good manner ayt right conduct?

“Ganito pala ‘yong feeling ng mga normal na tatay kapag sinasamahan nila ang mga partner nilang buntis. Gosh, nakakakaba na… nakaka-excite.” Apart from being nervous, I was also excited because we will be knowing the sex of our baby today. I like drawing the line clear between sex and gender. Sex pertained to our biological makeup while gender was socially constructed norms and concepts about being a man and a woman. I think it was just right to correct common misconceptions about sex and gender such as these two terms were just synonyms and can be used interchangeably; they were not. He chuckled lightly and squeezed my hand. “Mamahalin natin siyang pareho kahit ano pa siya.”

May punto doon ang ama pero ayaw niya pa rin talaga sa idea ng ikakasal sila ni Atticus. “Anak, you are still a woman—” “And he is a man? What’s the difference Dad? May equality na ang lahat ng tao ngayon kahit na anong gender pa iyon. Sabi nga, kung ano ang kayang gawin ng isang lalaki ay kayang gawin na rin ng babae. Kaya bakit ganun ang tingin sa babae?”

paalam pa ng bekeng si Georgie. Tanggap niya ang kasarian nito. Malawak ang kaisipan niya patungkol sa gender equality. Masinop at maaasahan si Georgie sa kanyang trabaho kung kaya't wala siyang mapipintas na kamalian nito. Para sa kanya pantay- pantay lahat ng tao at dapat ituring ang bawat isa ng may respeto at pagpapahalga.

Parang sasabak sa gulo. "But, Ms. Jael, the bible clearly states that marriage is between a man and a woman. We should adhere to our religious beliefs and traditions." "I respect religious beliefs, Ross, but our laws are not based solely on any one religious text. In a secular society, we must consider the rights of everyone, regardless of their beliefs. It's about allowing individuals the freedom to make their own choices without imposing one specific set of beliefs on everyone." "We can't ignore the foundations of our society. The traditional family structure is what has held us together for centuries. A family is meant to be a father, a mother, and children."

Nagpatuloy ang babae, “Anak mo ba ang bibilhan mo? Sasabihin ko lang ha, ang mga babae hindi dapat masyadong spoiled. Kahit gaano pa karami ang ginastos mo, sa huli, mapupunta rin sila sa ibang pamilya. Kung masanay sila sa luho, hindi sila magugustuhan ng mga biyenan.” Agad kumunot ang noo ni Rosalie sa sinabi nito. Diretso niya itong tiningnan at mahinahong nagsalita, pero malinaw at matatag, “Ikaw mismo ay babae, pero ganyan mo tingnan ang sarili mong kapwa babae? Ang tao ay tao, walang pinipiling gender. Lahat karapat-dapat igalang at alagaan. Kung kaya ko silang paligayahin, gagawin ko. At hindi ikaw ang may karapatang makialam.”

tanong niya sa akin. “But they’re the ones who also like being in this kind of setup. Minsan sila ang nag-i-insist na gawin ito, not all are guys. In short, both genders, male and female, do this thing. Hindi ibig sabihin na babaero ako ay wala na ring lalakero. Both red flags exist on both genders, pero hindi ibig sabihin no’n ay hindi na nila kayang magbago.” Hindi naman ako nakapagsalita dahil sa sinabi niya well he has a point there.

proud na pag-uulit pa ni Maki. Napangiti ako habang pinagmamasdan sila. I guess, Roma and I really did great in teaching them truths that were mostly overlooked and often presented differently by the society such as gender roles and sex roles. Sex roles rely on biological factors. It never change throughout history, and it was same in all societies. For example, child-bearing or giving birth can only be done by women since our biological features fitted and served that exact function.

Ilang tao kaya ang sumusuporta sa gender equality? Maraming tao ang nakapaligid sa akin. Alam ko kapag may ginawa akong bagay na katulad ng pananakit ng babae kahit pitikin ko lang noo niya ay magiging masama sa mga mata nila. Pero kapag babae naman ang gumawa nito, like for example, sabunutan niya ako. Iisipin lang ng mga tao na nagbibiruan lang kami. ...Such cruel society, diba? I support and yearn for true Gender equality.
