@tehehewellyes Well I apologize for that term—it was for the lack of better words. Obviously, she has given a huge contribution but I’m putting this on a common Filipino’s perspective (like me). We know her for her international recognition which did make her a catalyst to put us out there
@tehehewellyes I looked at OP’s theead and I got his point 😭. Wala naman kasing direct ambag si Lea when it comes sa local theater scene dito. She’s known to star internationally which goes on sa idea na we Filipinos want Western validation instead of actually supporting the art made here.
@amquad4@LukeJaywalker00@burritocindy@woman0fwise Genuinely, you sound you haven’t been to any academic institution. You’re saying women aren’t doing any contribution to society when there’s literally female researchers, doctors, scientists, and bunch more who specialize im each area.
@amquad4@LukeJaywalker00@burritocindy@woman0fwise You can say all the misogynistic bs all you want but it’s much more sad that you sound like you haven’t been in an academia because literally women professionals who actively solve the world dominate there 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Silvolde99@LukeJaywalker00@burritocindy@woman0fwise Are you shallow are just stupid? Have you ever talked to a woman, like ever? There are SO MUCH MORE issues other than abortion that women talk about. Of course the usual misogyny, the porn industry, gender-based violence, beauty standards. Even add marxist issues like capitalism
@raffellas1@LukeJaywalker00@burritocindy@woman0fwise If roles were reversed, do you think a man could do something or even speak up when they’ve been constantly tormented by women??? Hello, PTSD and uncertainty exists?? No matter what gender you are, if a normal person gets constantly traumatized then they wouldn’t speak
@raffellas1@LukeJaywalker00@burritocindy@woman0fwise Didn’t men literally beat up their wives if they try to speak up, sew their private parts as ritual for “purity”, make them wear small shoes while they’re still girls as a beauty standard so by the time they grow up, they can’t walk. (1/2)
@tehehewellyes Pero seeing the other replies in OPs post that belittle the local theater scene and are unaware of it shows the fact that tumatangkilik lang tayo kung nanotice na tayo ng mga Kanluranin. I agree that I wouldn’t say she’s the best representation of Philippine theater.
@tehehewellyes And I’m not saying she doesn’t deserve that, she obviously does 100%. She also made Philippines more mainstream to the global audience which is not inherently bad.
@nicoquejano@tehehewellyes I get where you’re coming from and the replies here seem to be very global-centric instead of looking into a Filipino perspective. However, we should give her credit when credit’s due 🤷🏻♀️ I remember this was a question rin in my art class.
The culture is now testing your tolerance to openly pedophilic content. This did not exist ten years ago. Do not let it become just another thing you grow numb to.
grown men throwing water balloons at women minding their business hoping they don't retaliate the way a man would... that's our generation of men. Imagine calling childish harassment “masculinity” and then crying when women stop tolerating it.
