    I think the Philippines is one of the best countries for a woman to work. In my 16 years of working in the Philippines, a lot of our leaders are women and their gender never became an issue. Based on my experience, Filipino men do NOT see Filipino women as less in the work place. The guys that I've been with in the recent years they are ALL very supportive of my career and it seems like they have pride if their girl has a great career.

    My Paulinian friend is in a dating app and she noticed the same. The men don't just want career women but it seems like they are looking at the education and social class as well. SO says otherwise, so now I don't know what to believe. Could it be with the generation? It's the younger generation of Filipino men that also want women with equally nice "specs"?

    I'm wondering if the gender pay gap equality issue that's happening to US is applicable to PH. Sa atin kasi marami sa executives eh babae din.

    Even in my field as IT, there's a belief in US that female in IT is rare. Sa comp sci class daw na puro male, pag may pumasok na babae bigla daw tatahimik ang mga nerds. [emoji23]I can't relate dahil sa comp Sci class namin 50/50 ang distribution gender.

    I'm shocked nga na in the Western world they still have those issues such as women getting harassed at work and the pay gap. Also, about how women don't feel safe alone

    I think hindi masyado malaki kasi like you said, ang daming women executives sa PH. Sa job ko where I worked for almost 12 years, naka 3 kaming department head, all of which are women. Pero of course yung CEO namin sa PH, we never had a woman pa.

    I'm surprised na marami pala female IT sa PH? Sa office namin 100% male IT support namin

    If you are talking about infrastructure support I think kaya konti female dyan dahil naiisip ko sila yung mga pumapasok sa ilalim ng table mo para ayusin yung Network port, sila mga nag lilipat ng CPU at monitor sa mga work station. Or mga naglalatag ng network cable, baka ayaw ng mga babae mga ganun work. Kaya konti sa support. Pero sa mga programmers marami babae. Saka mga data analyst marami din.

    Sa akin lang Ito ha. But if puro ganyan ang lagi hinahanap it’s because walang self-confidence just going for the “low lying fruits” so to speak.

    Modern thinking na kasi, unlike before na mentality is women belongs in the kitchen.

    If your wife has a career before you met her, why stop her from pursuing and achieving as much as she could sa career niya.

    This reminds me of a couple in our village. The female is in an executive position women while the male is a bum. The bum has a relationship with the kasambahay. Nag away sila, napatay ni lalaki si babae. Tapos tumakas kasama kasambahay.

    I wonder if the dynamic of that relationship has something to do with the crime. Minsan hindi kaya ng lalaki na matiis na ilalim sila ng babae partner.

    When women out-earn their husbands, marriages struggle. Marriages of female breadwinners are 50% more likely to end in divorce, according to a University of Chicago study.

    Many relationships that do not conform to the traditional norm of the man playing the role of provider do not fare well. The University of Chicago study points to several reasons, including tension between the partners, due to a combination of societal expectations of men and deep-seated ideas about gender roles, leading to arguments.
    Men Who Cheat on Their Breadwinning Wives

    Studies also show that when a wife out-earns her husband, he is more likely to cheat. In fact, about 15% of the men in a study by the American Sociological Review who were 100% financially dependent on their wives had affairs. That’s three times higher than the 5% of high-earning wives who strayed, the study showed.

    For men, financial dependence may be particularly threatening, resulting in relationship-sabotaging behavior, and cheating may be a subliminal way to bolster his self-esteem or re-establish his sense of masculinity. While infidelity is not necessarily a death sentence for a marriage, it is the most often-reported reason for a split.

    Pero what I learned importante na ngayon sa mga pinoy specs ng babae not just the looks. In my Paulinian friend's case, sa boys she met, status > looks

    di naman bago ito

    mahalaga ang specs sa high society coz malakas mamintas mga taong yan

    you don't marry just anyone with looks pano kung jolog magsalita nakakahiya yun

    you don't marry a saleslady or a rank & file

    you marry someone from top school, with glamorous job/career, well traveled... ung ma-impress mga big hair society ladies

    I agree with high society, that's universal. But with my Paulinian friend's experience, it happens even with middle class na rin. Ang problema, she desires high specs pero bakla siya magsalita e. I love her but sometimes it's frustrating to talk to her when you have to explain terms and figures of speech.

    Honestly I cringe when she calls me sis, bakla, girl and she uses words like pak, bet, waley etc

    Yung prospect 2 niya hindi pa naman nagta tagalog

    I think depende pa rin sa lalake.

    If a guy is earning big, di na ganun kaimportant if may career yun girl.

    If naaachieve naman ng guy yun mga wants nya (big house, cars, able to travel) di na nya need ng help from the wife.

    the middle class is adopting upper class standards and tastes

    --


    evidence suggests that the majority of women simply do not think the majority of men are attractive enough even to consider communicating with them in a dating context.
    dahil madami bagay nakaka turn off sa babae, women set filters on dating apps to eliminate men they don't wanna date

    filters on income level, educational background, height etc

    so women practically eliminate the majority of men

    that leaves only a small percentage of men they're willing to communicate with (tall, higher earning post grads)

    women are going after that small number of men

    kaya matindi ang competition

    swerte ang mga lalakeng yan

    When I married my ex-gf decades ago, pareho kaming clerks lang. Ako bodegero at puno ng kagat ng lamok habang nagbibilang ng boxes. So no, I dont think I was after her career then.
