Bias against women

It is very common in the Philippines to see an elderly man together with a younger female.  In Cebu, that is even more evident.  It is very common that it does not feel odd to look at them.  It has become prevalent in Cebu malls and coffee shops that the couple do not even merit a second look.

The other way around is unfortunately still not the case.  Matured women seen together with younger men are still given the second look, third look and even the stare.  Regardless of whether they are seen in Manila, Davao, Ilocos even here in more accepting Cebu.

Judgmental stares, malicious whispers or sly laughters.  Life is unfair.

  1. I know. I am guilty of that. Because really, I pity old women who go to guys who are obviously macho dancers. They know it's a win-win situation for them. Old rich hags don't want to be lonely and young guys want money.
