“Out of ten men,
one makes a sexual joke directed at a woman,
two laugh alone,
three don’t find it funny but still chuckle to fit in,
four say nothing, they pretend they didn’t hear it at all.
Not a single one speaks up,
not a single one stops it.
Later, aside from the man who made the joke, the other nine all believe the same thing - men like that are a minority, most men aren’t like this.
They all see themselves as part of the good majority.
But from the woman’s perspective, the one being harassed, there is no big difference between them.
The laughter, the silence, the looking away - all of it creates the same environment.
So when women say most men are the same, this is what they mean. Not every man harasses women but most men participate in protecting the system that does.”
Pinning this here so we can join the countdown for accountability. Malapit na ang pasko, nauna pang kasuhan ang mga raliyista kesa sa mga mandarambong.
Something concrete must be done about these anomalous government projects. Silence and inaction only embolden corruption. And the people deserve far better than that!!! May this also shape how we think, choose, and hold power to account in the next election.
The fight for accountability doesn’t end here. Civil society must keep standing its ground, louder, firmer, and more united than ever.
Ikulong Na Yan, Mga Kurakot! 🇵🇭
Minsan talaga di enough yung physical rest kasi no amount of sleep can fix a tired soul. Mental health breaks are needed just as much pero kasi most of us do not have the luxury to do it.
Reminding you—yes, ikaw—to take care of yourself, the beautiful and messy parts included.
i don't know if it is just me but ngl i expected something like this 😭 like the feeling when you enter the arena and this is the first thing you will see 😭 core memory!
