What are your thoughts?

Gender refers to the characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that are socially
constructed. This includes norms, behaviours and roles associated with being a woman, man,
girl or boy, as well as relationships with each other. As a social construct, gender varies from
society to society and can change over time.

II. Reflect on the following questions.

1. How can you describe your discovery of your sexuality, your sense of being male
or female?
First thing I discovered my sexuality is when my parents told me that I am a boy.
And in biological aspects is with regard to genitals. I when I am a little child I
socialize with my same gender and play toys that is for boys.
2. How does your being a female or male influence your family’s and peers’
expectations from you?
As a male person in our home my parents guides me as a role man to my
brother’s and sister’s, they expect that as a man I will manage myself to be more
fruitful. And for my peers they expect that I can be though in any problems and
circumstances that may lead me to failure that makes me more stronger for the
future.

III. Think about the phrases babae kasi, lalaki kase, haligi ng tahanan, ilaw ng tahanan,
and pakipot.
How do these words communicate patriarchy?

The term babae kase is a representation of being soft, if they cannot do things that
are not meant for them they they babae kase. The term lalake kase is the opposite
of babae kase because when they do hard things and completed is successfully they
say lalaki kase because men is meant for hard works. Haligi ng tahanan and ilaw ng
tahanan is the representation of father and mother. While pakipot is for a person
that is hard to get or not willing to do such things.
