The Filipino community is absolutely soaked in patriarchy (one of many) and frankly it makes for whack…everything. Patriarchy always equals lame relationships, lame family dynamics, really boring predictable sex, lame steez because people don’t want to question gender roles and so they repeat the same outfits. The list just goes on and on. Oppression is self-oppression after all.

Manny, being good fighter from the hood, doesn’t need any more shoulder-dusting from us. His paycheck is more than enough props. It’s high time people started calling him out and I’d love if more Filipino men took the mic on this one (Salamat, Mr. Ninoy Kayumanggi).
