Sobrang kadiri ng lahat ng misogynist takes since the start of the process of uniting the opposition. From Ping to Philip Lustre to Recto to Tonyo to Leody. Ang dating tuloy sa akin is that the reason there is no united opposition is because they refuse to submit to a woman...

... despite the fact that she has been the most competent, most consistent, toughest, and most sincere one among all our choices.

Men have been speaking over her continuously and calling her weak, indecisive, too kind, hinahawakan sa leeg, walang bayag sa utak at utak sa bayag.

Since she started gaining traction vs. Diktador Jr. in the VP race she has been the target of trolls and threats yet she remains steadfast. She never showed weakness. She never had a public meltdown. She is always calm, collected, and professional. Even towards these men.

Yet she is the the one called weak.

You can't convince me this isn't misogyny.

Ang hirap labanan ang macho governance ni Duterte pag ang mismong kasama natin sa laban ay yun ang hanap at doon humuhugot ng kritisismo kay VP.

Paki-pack up muna ang ego, boys. Para sa bayan.

I mean... why is VP everyone's common target. Ang labo niyong lahat.

Puro female presidents lang talaga ang comparison?

Adding Ka Leody's apology to this thread. While I'm still uncomfortable with how it is stated, I appreciate that the concern was acknowledged. Sana yung iba din.

Ok admittedly mali ang paggamit ko ng submit. I initially wanted to use rally behind but di kadasya sa word count 💀
