Such criticism usually occurs when you go against the grain and cut through the BS of an extremely flawed system. This example definitely isn't isolated to the Philippines. Liberalist views can also be heavily scrutinized in the West.BAMBOO BLITZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090965016034239599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489339121687205321.post-33692251921472868882007-12-23T19:11:00.000-08:002007-12-23T19:11:00.000-08:00zen...Thanks for the compliment girl!

One of my best friends hates when she has the field the most ignorant questions. IE. How long have you been a lesbian?

I seek social justice and equity and I am branded a communist. Never in their minds did they see me as a humanist. I suppose the Philippine society is living in the past were the poor should remain poor and the rich should get everything.mschumey07https://www.blogger.com/profile/04104105681290452414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489339121687205321.post-14318574476051237032007-12-22T12:28:00.000-08:002007-12-22T12:28:00.000-08:00Excellent article and the babies are too adorable....Excellent article and the babies are too adorable.ZenDenizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14005775186817411944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489339121687205321.post-35000841586386764802007-12-21T21:59:00.000-08:002007-12-21T21:59:00.000-08:00Great post BB.I have a number of things to say. Fi...Great post BB.<BR/><BR/>I have a number of things to say. First thing is about the young boy who used such a hateful word against you. At 8 years old he must have heard that from somewhere, parents or whatever, and I sincerely doubt that he understood the word he was using. That, of course, doesn't make it right, and it doesn't make the impact any less great.<BR/><BR/>As for the racism between communities thing, you are so right. It baffles me. I work (in Probation, as I think you already know) in an area with a relatively high Asian population, and there is massive racism there, an example being that Pakistani people are often terribly predjudiced against Bangladeshis (and vice versa). <BR/><BR/>For me that beggars belief. Why, when already part of a minority, do people then 'pick on' others from within that same minority? Like in the gay community, bisexual people are often ridiculed or derided. Silliness.<BR/><BR/>But which links me neatly to the final thing I wanted to rant about...and that is the stuff that you were talking about being 'under the radar' of even the PC people.<BR/><BR/>Whilst I am very fortunate to almost never encounter downright homophobia, I am constantly hit with heterosexism. That constant presumption and, therefore, need for explanation, can be just as oppresive, although naive and not ill-intentioned.<BR/><BR/>I think that's me done for now! Lol. But it must be a good post if it can court responses this long! xDivinylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17714248849968506687noreply@blogger.com
