With all this news about sexism, harassment, and misogyny, here’s my take on all of these as a Dudebro

I think you're the one conflating (and therefore confusing) the issues, mate.

Heto kasi yun. I asked you (do you want a screenshot, btw):

"Do you consider her (my wife) part of the problem, much like Huffington - because she's not offended enough."

Sagot mo - "Yes."


"Dudebro!"

I cited that as an example for the Pulp Cover mag as to why I personally did not find it offensive.

Then I cited that I asked my wife about this - NR. She was not offended by it.

I did not cite the 'dudebro' reason for the Franken/Huff example - instead I cited that the woman herself was not offended in that situation.


My point is that Filipinos should continue to be vigilant when it comes to Filipino women talking about sexual harassments instead of veering off the issue and using whataboutism.

No one was arguing that point - you kept bringing it up. I even said numerous times that I'm happy people are focusing on the issue and people are speaking up.


And because Vhong Navarro is the most current issue and a prime example of dudebros and women protecting a creep by saying "lalaki kasi eh."

And did I not say numerous times that I don't condone creeper, bastos and jeje behavior?


Why not give a Filipino example of false outcry towards sexual harassment?

I cannot give you one right now - but, take a look at the main post. It's been there for the past couple of hours.

I cited plainly that "Dudebros" - won't make rape jokes about slain women, or think of single moms as 'naano lang'.

Wanna know what that means? It means I dislike comments and behavior like that. Aka - I agree with you.


Simple lang:

You were confused.

Because I've mentioned numerous times that my concern is that people find offense at anything and everything as long as it suits their agenda, even things that may seem inoffensive.

Una, nagalit ka kasi: "Dude's opinion/You don't understand coz you're a dude!" - even though I've mentioned numerous things I dislike and disagree with done by other men.

Pangalawa, nagalit ka kasi: "I'm combining two issues" - nope, I focused on one (people offended by everything and anything), and cited two examples for that.

Kita mo - your opinion basically agrees with mine - and yet you brought up unrelated matters ("Filipino women should be more vigilant", "Vhong Navarro!"*) - all because, well, you're pushing an agenda.

Hindi tayo nagkaintindihan... because you were offended by some imaginary slight or misinterpretation. You chose to focus on that instead.

Simple as that.
