Double Standard Morality

Question 1

Double Standard Morality
boys and girls are given the impression of men being superior to women. In as much as we would like to practice gender equality, the rules for human conduct and human appropriateness are not alike for both sexes as practiced in most areas in the Philippines. This is likely shown in the examples below:

Answer 1

• Boys and men are permitted to stay out more and up to a later time than the girls and women.
• Philandering or immoral man is considered as demonstrating his manliness or “pagkalalaki”. A philandering or immoral woman is considered as cheap, bad, or “masamang babae”.
• Women are expected to remain virginal until they marry, while it is generally acceptable for men to have sexual experience before marriage.
• Women are socially judged and legally penalized for adultery and for having children out of wedlock.
• Men who stay at home to do household chores instead of having jobs to earn money for the family are considered by some as “under ‘d saya.”
