Tapang sa kandungan dagitab sa dibdib siklab kababaihan tindig!
Dahil may inihaing pamantayan ang noon
ikinakadena ang imahen ng kababaihan hindi batid na higit pa sila roon.
Gampanin sa lipunan ay hinabi ng panahon
alipin ng lipi itong si Paraluman dahil may inihaing pamantayan ang noon.
'Anong sarap ng indak, putahe sa kutson' Bansag ng mga nanggaling sa kandungan.
Matagal nang hindi batid na higit pa sila roon
Ang poot ay dekada nang ikinubli sa kamaong-kuyom

A quick reminder: Women are not just for bedrooms They are built for the conference room The durability of their heels bring them to stage, sports, various professions, and manly positions
In politics, medicine, education, in any platforms. girls take the lead and change the future.
And if ever someone told you that women should dress properly to be treated with respect, tell that person to keep his mouth shut and keep that misogynistic gist on his side.
For women of every shape and color and size and ethnic and gender identity, wear your armors: pride, confidence, beauty It took courage to be comfortable in your own skin and believe in yourself, but do it anyway. EP
Don't say sorry for being so thin or having stretch marks on your skin You are beautiful You are sexy even with the lights on. Being big means you have more to offer, and more to hold on to Regardless of the right sizes of your arms, thighs, ass, and hips. What's the right size anyway?
I was four years old when I heard the word fat from a family member. I don't know what that word means, but I hate it anyway
I was seven when my schoolmate didn't let me play Chinese garter, because I was fat. She said that the team might lose if she let me in. I didn't join any games after.
I was in the 10th grade to even know what Tumbang preso is
I was 10 when I was first catcalled. They called me big mama. Sometimes, a whale.
I was 12 when a pedicab driver shouted that my breasts were bigger than any ordinary girl's. I was so conscious way back then, to the point that I hated my body
I was 14 when I lost 3 kilos in just 2 months. I am still wondering how much more I need to lose to be like the normal girls.
I was 15 when I was first called sexy It took me five years to believe him because I thought that, for years, my body was offensive to those people around me.
Now I am 20 and I still struggle to be comfortable in my own skin. I am slowly unlearning this every day.
