Gender Stereotyping: Breaking the Female Chains

by Amanda Beatrice C. Deang

Women are supposed to stay at home, to cook and do housework, and to be responsible for raising children, but is the role that society has imposed on them the only purpose of their lives?

Gender stereotypes have long been the basis for how members of a certain gender should be: how they dress and present themselves, what their occupation should be, how they behave, and the like. Female gender stereotypes have established how and what a woman should be, even before she explores what she wants for her life. Stereotypes limit their opportunities and, in the worst cases, kill a woman’s self-confidence.

More than what they are

In the Philippines, it is a perceived societal standard that a woman’s ‘level of decency’ depends on how much fabric she wears, and her degree of capability depends on how great and diligent she is at housework.

Many advocates against female gender stereotyping have raised their voices regarding this societal error, but despite having proven that women can go beyond the boundaries of the norms and roles associated with them, a survey from Guerrero (2022) has proven that women's gender stereotypes, especially in cases of breadwinning and home-tending, are still upheld by many Filipinos.

Being a woman in the Philippines is equivalent to being subject to a pervasive system, and it is already expected that a woman seeking to apply for traditionally male roles such as jobs that require technical skills will be held to very high standards. And at times, when they do land the job, workplace discrimination on the basis of gender identity does tend to take place right after.

The gender stereotype also hinders a woman from developing her personal abilities and making decisions for herself, which leads to negative consequences as it ultimately affects their mental, physical, and emotional health and leaves them with zero self-confidence in regards to their personalities.

Exceeding the expectations

Are the roles that society has imposed on women the only purpose of their lives? Will women be able to break free from the chains of female gender stereotypes, or will such stereotypes continue to drag them down unwillingly? And as these harmful gender norms continue to persist and influence relationships, when will we really be able to say that society has already outdated and eliminated such stereotypes?

With all the stereotypes surrounding women, one notable fact that should be imprinted on society’s mind is that gender judgments are inaccurate, as these only stem from forms of bias that society has established for women over time.

Despite what society expects from a woman, there is no law or rule on how a woman should particularly be when it comes to her decisions or on how she wishes to project herself.

Men and women are equally capable of controlling what role they want to associate themselves with. Many may ask and doubt the possibility of such things, yet the latter is fully capable of much more than the roles that society forcibly associates to her.

Happy International Women’s Day!

This is Dani. She's got a condition known as vampire syndrome, where she can't be out in the sunlight or else it will burn her skin. She also can't survive without her daily dosage of blood, in which she injects into a vein in her arm using a needle 3 times a day. She has naturally red eyes, but if anyone asks, they're contacts. Shhh! 🤫😉 She's a bit quirky but really chill and fun when you get to know her.

I'm so tired of everything I'm reading about Cancers. The zodiac, not the disease. That's a discussion for another time.

Not every cancer cries all the time, or for everything. To be very honest, some of them almost never do. And they are not always sensitive as they are made out to be.

Some of them are actually cut throat bitches who won't take shit from you or anyone. They listen to music that isn't about a breakup or a sad lovey life. Some of them are into rap.

Not all of them are motherly or emotionally driven. Some of them crave logic and would choose it over emotion anyday.

They are ambitious, driven and their passion for certain things glows in their eyes like a mad scientist with a new discovery.

They're into sex, and it doesn't always have to be about feeling protected or gentle in the bedroom. Some of them like to be choked or tied up. Kinky motherfuckers.

Being called cute isn't always amazing when you're looking for fierce, and by God will they work their asses off to prove you wrong.

From a cancer to the other cancers out there, what makes you roll your eyes over these cliché cancer crybaby posts? Is that who you are? Crying isn't a weakness I know, but everybody out here labelling us like that, is this okay with you?

Speak up my dudes, let me know what you're really like.

Същото ми е различно.

Днес се събудих, както всяка сутрин. Първото, което направих изправяйки се, беше да погледна през прозореца. Видях снежната картина. Априлски сняг. Преди около седмица видях същата картинка и всеки ден, преди да се стопи снега, се наслаждавах на красотата на бялата пролет. Днес виждайки го се отчаях. Беше същата картинка, но не ме радваше, нито можех да й се възхитя. Напротив. Видях само студ, сивота...а това красиво бяло одеало го видях, като нещо затрупало и затворило светлината.

Но как? 2 пъти виждам една и съща картина, но 2 пъти я виждам, като пълно противоположности. Не ми хареса, защото така и се чувствах. Днес сякаш времето ми изразяваше емоциите (тъй като аз така или иначе нямах възможността). Но това всъщност ме зарадва. Не самата картинка, а това че ми "ръчна" в емоциите и ги разчегърта, за да ги изкара навън.

Втълпяваме си многократно, че перманентно харесваме нещо. Защо? Защо трябва перманентно да харесваш нещо? Да не би да е от страх? "Ами ако ме го харесвам, като го виждам няма да ми е приятно. О не! Неприятна емоция! Не, аз го харесвам, много и ми е приятно. Да." Толкова много хора бягат непрекъснато от "неприятното". Страхът ги кара да бутилират. Един ден обаче, тази "тапа" вътре във тях ще избие. Или по лошо, няма. Само ще променя човека. Ще му насъбира гняв и ще е още по неприятно. За това избирам да чувствам, каквото чувствам. Да харесвам, когато и каквото харесвам. Да не харесвам, каквото и когато искам. Защото искам да съм честна поне пред себе си. Опитайте и вие.

The Sisterhood Soiree is an initiative by INCA in collaboration with Heineken, is specifically designed to create awareness about opportunities for women in the nightlife industry. Women achievers on the panel shared their journey and experiences of being associated with this industry, while the established male business leaders discussed how more women can be encouraged to participate and contribute to this industry. The panel also discussed how to address challenges that act as deterrents for women in this industry – safety, societal mindset, recognition were some of the issues that came up. With women contributing a substantial amount at every level in the nightlife domain, it is imperative to bestow recognition and allow this energy to transform the hospitality sector. . . . . #goa #goaevents #sisterhoodsoiree #breakthestereotype #goablogger #goalifestyleblogger #lifestyleblogger #lifestyleevents (at Saligao Stories) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9mHUuugxsH/?igshid=9kp8r7xejfte
