Being told to raise more hell and less children is no different from being told to be a good Catholic woman and breed as many children as is possible. It's patronizing. <br /><br />So this is me raising hell, in a good way :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Chanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-59435300030299813532012-11-21T15:01:50.553+08:002012-11-21T15:01:50.553+08:00Well, Cha, you always speak with authority here, a...Well, Cha, you always speak with authority here, and it is no wonder you were treated as an equal.

My audience is not the already enlightened (you), but those on the edge of awareness. Consider it a little nudge. And it is also men, like Senator Sotto and Enrile, who strut their manly stuff with little regard for the choices and resources they deny poor women.<br /><br />As for "raising hell", that is what you are doing when you raise the level of your understanding and help others do the same. I don't mean to stomp braless down Roxas and curse at men. <br /><br />I'll make sure the Humpty Dumpty New World Dictionary gets updated to reflect this wholesome definition of "raising hell".<br /><br />Thanks for bringing clarity to this.The Society of Honorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536906267332687130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-8327203567720497842012-11-21T14:53:15.588+08:002012-11-21T14:53:15.588+08:00Yes, perhaps what we are seeing in RH is a despera...Yes, perhaps what we are seeing in RH is a desperate church, squirming to hang onto something before their doctrines collapes in a heap, struck down by scientific knowledge and enlightenment among the poor.The Society of Honorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536906267332687130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-4243575133075352942012-11-21T13:53:55.316+08:002012-11-21T13:53:55.316+08:00I cannot claim to speak for every other Filipino w...I cannot claim to speak for every other Filipino woman but I do suspect that a lot of women (at least those that I know) probably feel the way I do. <br /><br />To start with, I have never really felt the need to prove myself better than the Filipino male. Even in the corporate setting, I never felt as if there was a glass ceiling that stood in my way. None of the Filipino men that I've worked with have ever given me a reason to suspect that I was not being treated as an equal. <br /><br />I do wonder, though, why some men would tend to ascribe traits or behaviors more usually associated with men to convey the image of a tough woman, like brandishing a gun, for instance. I, myself prefer the Hilary Clinton meme that shows Hilary clad in dark designer sunglasses, staring at her blackberry, captioned : Hey Hil, watchu doing? ... Running the world. <br /><br />And excuse me guys, I know you mean well, but I believe we women are good for more than just raising more hell and fewer children. I, for one, would much rather raise the level of my understanding of the world and the issues confronting us all so I can, in turn, help raise the level of awareness of others, men and women alike, on those I feel strongly about. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Chanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-46632155546069774942012-11-21T13:52:29.501+08:002012-11-21T13:52:29.501+08:00If men were the ones getting pregnant, abortion wo...If men were the ones getting pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament. That's not my quote, I forgot who to attribute it to. <br /><br />The Anglican Church just missed by a narrow margin the vote on allowing women to become bishops. Bishops and clergy were overwhelmingly in favor; the laity vote was just six votes shy. <br /><br />I am waiting for the Vatican's response to that Indian woman who died from infection due to the refusal of hospitals in Ireland to give her an abortion. Also waiting for them to comment on pending legislation in Nigeria that would criminalize homosexuality (not just the acts, but being one!). These are defining cases for them. <br /><br /> andrew limhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01930606943449452056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-64960625945288313792012-11-21T13:47:24.493+08:002012-11-21T13:47:24.493+08:00hahaha!

I know my family,in its assorted parts, still collects for the holiday. Still has the traditional afternoon meal with appropriate blessings and giving of thanks. Still has turkey and dressing and yams and cranberries and pumpkin pie and wine. Yes, they may play with the X-box after the meal instead of tag football, but it is still the most family of American Holidays.The Society of Honorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536906267332687130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-60948148441591709372012-11-21T12:49:52.062+08:002012-11-21T12:49:52.062+08:00Knew it.

Pardon me for intruding unnecessarily. Thanks...Joe<br /><br />Pardon me for intruding unnecessarily. Thanksgiving day and Black Friday are too big events in US now. When was the last time you were there for Turkey Day?<br /><br />In the Philippines we are having a hard time to initiate changes in our habits, culture included. We could not pass FOI, RH bill and Sin Tax bill is long overdue. <br /><br />Whereas in US, laws are not even needed to effect changes. Thanksgiving now is no longer traditional.<br />Thanskgiving day is now one of the busiest day of ethnic restaurants, Chinese, Vietnamese, Middle East. casinos have overflowing gamblers. Nightclubs are filled to capacity by young crowds. <br /><br />Megastores start opening by 8PM Thursday night instead of midnight. Shoppers are camping as early as today and partake the turkey in their makeshift campgrounds in malls. Shoppers have formed shopping roups to be assigned to buy things at certain stores for the members of their communities assuring everybody in their neighborhoods substantial savings. Community care at its best.<br /><br />In short, Thanksgiving day has turned big business in America. Good for the economy but it foretells that the increasing immigrant population is shunning traditional Pilgrims culture. <br /><br />The question, is it good or bad? <br /><br />Johnny Lin<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-9004710410119128272012-11-21T11:36:14.003+08:002012-11-21T11:36:14.003+08:00Black Friday is when all the stores set new sales ...Black Friday is when all the stores set new sales records.

I think the root is, what is the law based on, knowledge or faith? If it comes from a religious book, it can be either. For example, the reason for not eating pork was based on diseases at the time. It was dangerous to eat pork. Well, the rule is still there for many "because it is in the book", but the book is inflexible to new knowledge. So it becomes an infringement on freedom of choice for those of that faith. <br /><br />The Ten Commandments are laws based on harmonious community, not on faith per se. They are constructive, not confining of freedom. It gets dicey, I know. But some moral laws are clearly not healthy.<br /><br />I think I'll shut up now.<br /><br />Kindly go back to jokes. . .The Society of Honorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536906267332687130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-64081744069986399532012-11-21T11:05:03.962+08:002012-11-21T11:05:03.962+08:00Joe
