“Kelan ka mag-aasawa?” “Bakit wala ka jowa?” Nakakapagod nang pakinggan ang mga paulit-ulit na tanong na ‘yan. 2021 na po mga Tita at Tito.

" She is the woman who doesn't need a man to complete her. " 🌹 Manifesting this quote to myself since nung nabasa ko sya somewhere. Let's empower one another 💙 #StrongAndIndependentWoman

My biggest frustration is that women have "time table" that at this age we should bear child or else it'll be hard. What if you really have the desire to have own family but the timing is not yet right. We can't buy time for that matter. The pressure! Sabayan pa ng mga taong nonstop magtanong Kung kelan ka mag-aasawa. What we can do is, don't pressure anyone. I'd rather be single than be with the wrong person. Antay lang sila. Everyone is invited. Hehe

Thanks Bianca. Solid supers here! I think yung expectation ng society na kapag you are on a certain age, people around you were pressuring you or expecting na dapat nakapag asawa ka na or may jowa ka. Sometimes hindi nila alam na nakakaaffect sa mental being ng isang babae. Nakakafrustrate kasi we don’t have anything to explain to them and or everytime na lang tinatanong tayo nakakatamad ng sumagot. What can we do about it? - I guess acceptance and awareness na hindi sukatan ng pagiging isang babae kapag may asawa, may anak or may jowa. We are more than that :)

Two things: 1. When you can't perform very well or do tasks that are really important due to pms. And that's when you feel like you are being judged because they have to understand your pain lalo na kapag important tasks sya. Ewan ko if its just me, pero I sometimes get this.... 2. When people always ask "when ka magkakajowa" or "when ka ikakasal"it's like a standard minsan kasi na before 30 you should get married because nga daw baka mahirapan manganak (well yes medj true din naman to based on science din) but you don't have to pressure/pester women just because they're single at the moment Addition din pala, is when women are being belittled like "di mo kaya yung gantong job/work/task kasi babae ka baka mahirapan ka" or "pang lalaki lang yan" stereotyping ba.

In my own situation, at the age of 33, my biggest frustration, not as a woman, but more on as an anak, kahit na i'm a single mom of 3, i'm the bread winner of the family, ayaw pa rin ng parents and aunties na i can stay with the father of the kids and even see their father. They are still manipulating my life inspite of the things i've done to the family. I have no voice.

When women are expected to be great moms, super wives and excellent career women ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Whereas men are already a great father and husband basta makapag provide for the family.

Whenever I encounter women that say they are unfairly treated because they are women or they lost battles/competitions because they are women. This is frustrating in workplace scenarios when a man defeats a woman. It’s about time that we accept that sometimes some are smarter than the others and sometimes the ones that defeat us are men - not always accurate to say “Because we are women, and that’s why we were unfairly treated.” We move on and take the next challenge. No emotions attached.

Hi Bianca, Ever since the pandemic started, i've been walking to work and walking back home everyday due to scarcity in public transportation. One thing I observed while walking the same route over and over again is how men look and stare at women whenever we pass by. There was once a woman walking in front of me, dressed in a decent attire, and I could see all the men staring at her from head to foot as she pass by and I thought to myself I am also in her situation too; that everytime i pass by men, they would stare at me also. Thinking about this disgust me to my core knowing I walk everyday. Sometimes whenever i saw a man staring like a hawk at a woman walking in front of me, i would stare back at those guys with disgust in my eyes, it's like my way of telling them that i just saw what they did and they're very disgusting. I know i did not do anything to solve the problem, and that's the frustrating thing because it's supposed to be common sense, like why would people do such a thing esp to women in the first place? And why do they still need to be pointed out that what they're doing is wrong? I mean, come on people, we're already at the right age. We know what's right and wrong, what's rude and not. Women do not ogle men, and men should do the same to women, regardless of what we wear and how we look.

" Money doesn't excite an independent woman. " I think this is powerful, na when it comes to relationship, dahil ang mindset ay dapat good provider ang mga lalaki, but then that truth is we can still provide for ourselves, for our family without the help of them.

Decision making, na ang masusunod ang yung mga men. Although, it doesn't apply sa lahat, pero meron pa ring families or relationships na ang lalaki talaga ang masusunod. My cousin was told by her bf na you have to stop working, stay at home lang and gawa tayo ng baby. I'm really frustrated upon knowing that i tried to talk to my cousin, wala eh, mas pinili niya yung bf niya.

Para sa mga single ladies na tinatanong na kung kelan magkaka-boyfriend or asawa, yung ikaw sa sarili mo hindi ka naman pressure because you have priorities pa and enjoying you time as a single (independent) woman. Tapos may comment pa minsan na ang choosy mo pa. Bakit sila yung natataranta? Hehe. Anyway, wait patiently lang talaga at enjoy natin ang life. Because God made everything beautiful in it's time. Ibibigay Niya yung higit pa sa pinagpe-pray nating Godly man.

That ladies are so prone to insecurities and jealousy because we are always emotion driven, especially during our immaturity years. That so many friendship has been cultivated over the years and will be just ruined by insecurities, panlalait or parinig, intentional or not, at mahirap na ibalik ang genuine connection. One can choose a higher ground by understanding each other but once its stained you can’t fixed it back. I’m not sure what we can do about it but though.

1.) Women, especially the young women or the youth, should not base their standards for themselves on social media. Like yung iba pag nakakakita ng mapapayat, blonde or mapormang mga babae sa soc meds, they immediately wanted to be like what or who they see. They want to follow their footsteps. Women should be reminded that they are beautiful and powerful in their own way. They should be reminded that they're like sunsets -- they remain beautiful even if not all people will stare at them. 2.) Older women seem to have a "timeline" for the younger ones especially in terms of marriage or having a family. Like a coworker of mine would always ask me "Kelan mo ba planong magjowa?" "Magjowa ka na, may trabaho ka na naman, tapos pakasal ka na para may time pa yung parents mo na magbantay sa magiging anak mo" ganun. I get so irritated sometimes pero I always think that I'm doing fine -- its fun to be single, I'm still 23 and not I'm rushing life so why bother diba? We all run in our own pace, and our own pace is the best pace for us. We should not be pressured by the society we live in, we should live our own life and not a life that is based on what others would say.

I do not have anything in my mind about my biggest frustration as a woman. Rather, it frustrates me when a part of my mind thinks that cannot dream big and do the things I wanted to be. And somehow the frustration fades when I write things that I dreamed of and plan things how can I go a step closer to my dream.

Most women are perfectionist. Some were brought by the environment / inherit while growing up / self decision and for lot of reasons. Most women wants to excel in any area especially if there's a demand. Demand to be good enough. Demand to be excellent. Demand to impress. Demand to get validation. Being perfectionist isn't bad but sometimes unconsciously we exhaust ourself that led to frustration and for some depression. There's a lot of roots talaga bakit naging perfectionist tayong mga babae. There's also a lot of downside for being too perfectionist. For me, what can i do about it? Self-Love. Knowing How to Excel without forgetting that myself needs grace. I can't give what i don't have.
