Despite the advancement of feminism in the country, many men\nstill see themselves as superior to women imposing a patriarchal chauvinism in\na semi-feudal society whether in the field of work, religion, education,\nhousehold, or in the larger society. Many tend to accept women as \u2018the second\nsex\u2019 subservient to the macho-feudal patriarchal culture. Hence, this paper\naims to look into society\u2019s patriarchal consciousness vis-a-vis Beauvoir\u2019s <em>The<\/em>\n<em>Second Sex<\/em>. In doing so, participatory research is employed but not\nlimited to conversations, dialogues, focus group discussions, and interviews.\nConducted in a fourfold manner, the first thing done is asking the participants\nto identify the issues and problems they face in their respective households,\nworkplace, and in the community related to parity between men and women. The\nsecond is to identify the individuals and\/or institutions causing hindrance in\nachieving parity. The third is to chart the future of women and feminism if the\nissues and problems they identify are not addressed. Lastly, the participants\ndrew solutions to their identified problems. Consequently, women are still\nstruggling for parity with men but they\u2019re not \u2018the second sex\u2019. There is no\nsecond sex either. Women are the equal counterpart of men. Classifying women as\n\u2018second sex\u2019 subsists in the subconscious. Unconscious discrimination from\nhouseholds to the corporate world impairs women\u2019s self-esteem. Since the\nmacho-feudal patriarchal consciousness subsists, there is, then, a need to\nsustain and advance further women&#8217;s role at home, in the workplace, in the\nchurch, and in the larger society. There is a greater need to strengthen the\nmainstreaming of women&#8217;s nature, role, and rights. Through the new narratives,\nresist the male-and-market-defined social construct women attributes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presented during the 1st International Conference on Gender, Adult Literacy and Active Citizenship for Social Transformation (GALACST), held on 20-22 November 2019, at the University of Santo Tomas Abstract Na\u00efve, indecisive, dependent\u2026 In a woman\u2019s world, these labels are still attributed to her being even though the Philippines ranks high in gender responsiveness.
