A MOTHER THAT LOVES THIS MUCH SHOULD NOT BE MADE TO BREED BABIES FOR THEIR FLESH OR MILK...the hardened "farmer" with the original posted reveals how they view animals by calling this beautiful baby as it... "He watched as the mother cow refused to eat, refused to drink, and slowly gave up on her own disabled calf.
The baby couldn’t stand on its own, and within hours, the situation turned critical. That’s when one man stepped in. Using nothing but rope and sticks, he carefully propped the fragile calf upright, refusing to let it fade away.
And then, something incredible happened. The mother cow began to cry, letting out low, emotional calls as she stood beside her calf, as if thanking the man who refused to give up.
With time the calf will heal and begin to walk."... FORCIBLY BREEDING ANY SENTIENT BEINGS TO PROFIT FROM THEM IS UNETHICAL, BE VEGAN TO STAND AGAINST IT -- Animal Freedom Fighter

When it comes to foreigners over the past 5 years including Africans, Nepalis and Indians, they would say, "I like you. Do you like me too?". But my only experience with Filipino men if they ever ask anything resembling this question at all is, "You like me noh?" which means, "You like me, don't you?", which honestly sounds like an accusation rather than a question. And I'm forced to say yes when I really want to say no just to not offend them. 🤷‍♀️

It's like they all assume you already want them from the get-go and that you're just hoping for them to finally approve of you. It's like some clearance sheet you need to have signed for college. You need it signed and you just need to wait to find out if they will sign. Just wow. 😒

It will always be a shocking new concept to me the way foreigners including Indians actually consider if the woman is into them or if they fit her standards and would often say things like, "She deserves a handsome guy." or "Nobody likes me." or "They don't like my color.", because in Filipino culture, a woman has no say in whether she finds the guy attractive or not. So it will always be wild to me how guys tell me they stop pursuing me because, "I can clearly see that you're not interested in me.". They actually believe a relationship takes two to tango and both sides to have to want the other.

It's not like that at all in the Philippines. The fact alone that you're a woman means you are auditioning to be good enough to be their partner. I've had absolutely hideous guys who I wasn't even flirting with but just ended up in the same party with because of a mutual friend I was there for instead of them say lines like, "Don't you have anyone lighter-skinned?", as they including my male inviter would laugh. Or they would make comments about my facial features how they can only get intimate with me if they cover my face with a rug. And I've had guys I just joined with for a group get-together including with females rate me from a scale of 1-10 in front of my face and give me very low ratings. And they would laugh about who gets to sit beside me and would openly say they can't handle someone as "unattractive" as me being around. And no, they didn't target me. They've said worse things about other girls they rate during the party how she tasted when they got intimate with her. They'd say things like, "Oh, Sheila? I'd say 7. She's not pretty, but her body is so delicious. And she really knows how to do it. Like you will really be satisfied.".

And these aren't teenagers. These guys are like 40 now and include the professor during my community college in Bachelor of Information Technology. I've heard two male professors brag about their sexcapades with the Senior High students including in the bathroom. The other is 40 now. The other is like 46 this year.

And from all the ladies my age I've talked to, they will definitely testify that Filipino men approximately 35 to 45 also do the same to them. And these are hideous guys who look like they have dwarfism and these ladies are absolutely gorgeous and sexy. But Filipino guys will always find something to discount us over such as menstrual bloating just because we passed by them on our way out of a building and we don't even know their name.

I've actually seen this for myself when I was walking with a group of women and my morena friend was walking ahead of us. A guy on his parked motorcycle had to yell an insult at her. And the guy's about in his late 30s and 4'7" in height. I saw the same thing when 40-year old female friends walked with me and a group of guys probably older than them had to yell an insult regarding their age as they did a very forced, choreographed laugh which was just terrible acting and I would never cast them in any movie.

And I've had someone I thought was a friend advice me about the shaming, "Paano ko toh sasabihin? You look weird. Naku, Andie. Mga lalaki yun. Gusto kasi nila makasabi nang, 'Wow, Andie is so gorgeous.'. Kaya kung hindi ka gusto ganunin, you have to change yourself. Be presentable.".

In English, it means, "How do I say this? You look weird. Goodness, Andie. Those are men. They'd want to be able to say, 'Wow, Andie is so gorgeous.'. So if you don't want to be treated that way, you have to change yourself. Be presentable.".

And I don't even want to share a picture of the guy who said that. Plus, he's only tall enough to stand up to my chest, I'm not even exaggerating. And he's anorexic.

And I've had Filipino guys just try to do the act on me without my consent, because they think for simply being a woman I'm already auditioning for their approval, and their "yes" is already an honor I'm asking for. And this was after they first did discounting comments on my looks or personality and were like, "It's okay. I still accept you." before proceeding to try to do blatant assault as if I was hoping for it just to finally validate me.

So yeah, I don't know the concept of flirting back or showing that I'm interested. I always assumed that because you're the man, I'm just waiting for your "yes" and you're not waiting for mine.

I think one of the BIGGESTTTT reasons on the very top of my list why I just cannot deal with millennial Filipino men is the fact that they have no shame to ask incredibly intrusive questions about complete strangers especially pertaining to disabilities, medical conditions and other diversities that make a person different or "flawed". And they will ask a person's companion or the person themself- a behavior that has very much turned off many of my Filipino-looking foreign friends as I toured them around Cebu, although each friend was just perplexed everytime and never got turned off by me nevertheless, despite these people insinuating I was special needs. My friends in turned called THEM the ones that have a difference. And my friends are still my very close friends years later who continue to ask for my presence.

And the thing is, when you actually scold these people for their behavior, they will say, "Nangutana ra gali.", which means, "The person was just asking.", as if we're the ones with a mental disability for not being able to handle a simple question.

It's as if we are required to satisfy their curiosity just to be able to function around them as a community including just eating in the same restaurant or going to a club they are the guards of.

It's disgusting, honestly. Considering they're the normal ones, they should at least have something as basic as TACT. There's literally ChatGPT to answer those rude-ass questions!

It will always be wild to me how I'm considered the one with special needs in the Philippines just because of my facial difference. Filipino men standing for an entire minute in front of a stranger's table while she's eating a meal instead of going straight to finish their work so they can observe her because "She doesn't look normal."? Maybe if I'm throwing my spoon and fork or slamming the table or shouting obscenities to disturb the guests, sure, stare at me. But if I just move differently but I didn't overstay and I clearly paid my own bill, you are not entitled to say anything about a person's diversities, otherwise it goes against Republic Act 7277. And I am very much entitled to complain to the staff of the restaurant, I don't care if the man is your brother-in-law and you'd defend him 'til the end. He's the one without special needs. Why can't he behave himself appropriately in an expensive restaurant then? Considering he's even PAID STAFF? The service charge is expensive, you know. And I didn't ask the owner to give me a discount despite restaurant owners having the habit of treating me like their guest and every item I consume is on-the-house, because I'm way too classy to freeload.

So as the normal ones, please behave yourselves. I didn't ask for an emotional comfort dog beside me or asked you to dim certain lights or to lower down the volume of the music because they give me sensory overload, although I'm also very much entitled to those.

I always find it funny when pseudo-intellectuals attack Christianity by quoting equally entitled white scientists very involved in colonialism who probably wouldn't even humanize them unaware that the rest of us are quite educated on the concept of the Conservative world and that's exactly why we preach Palestinian Jesus.

Ladies and gentlemen, here is British-version Charlie Kirk! They believe in Israeli Jesus saying you couldn't take the Jew out of Jesus, and yet they never acknowledged that during the Holocaust.

And I'm pretty sure it's THEIR colorism that made the Hindu caste system this bad.

Also the EXACT same mentality of millennial Filipino men towards the "non-Spanish" and the disabled occupying their spaces and taking the prestige and safety out of them. And yet when they see actual Spanish women with the sharper facial features, they would call them lady boys for having features more defined than theirs and being two feet taller than them. 😅

And picture this: It's really all about EUGENICS. And eugenics was never a Jesus thing. In fact, Jesus preached and even lived the exact opposite of that movement. Eugenics was a Charles Darwin thing- the exact Charles Darwin of these pseudo-intellectuals. The exact Charles Darwin who would probably just call them a monkey. And yet here they are attacking Christianity for a man that would really never call them a man.

From the stories of my friends about their sisters or neighbors, it will always be wild to me how desperate millennial Filipina women are to be validated by a Filipino man. They stay for several years with a man so much less educated than they are, ask for too much of their money, beats them up regularly, and even cheats on them by bringing someone to the house even with family members around even if it's their own kids. And it's even the man that threatens to leave them if they aren't satisfied. And the thing is, these men are very unattractive physically and mentally. But just for a space in Filipino society not to be labelled "exotic goods" or "tropical delight" or even a "nerd" that's lower on the Filipino caste system, these women would be total martyrs just for a BPO Team Leader and show so much stigma being seen or associated with someone who looks foreign or talks foreign.

I for one can easily be physically and mentally attracted to a Fil-Am who is pure Filipino by blood, even in extreme ways. And yet these women could easily just use these guys for their money despite them being specialized doctors who treat them like a princess just because they don't identify with them and they don't really see them as a valued Filipino that talks the best BPO Bisaya and can really give them social standing, and will have a second boyfriend that is a deadbeat guy who is simply very Filipino that they will conspire with to harm or kill the guy for his money.

And I honestly think these women get what they deserve.

Maybe that's what they like.

Ever since my disability on the face became visible at age 14 since 2nd year high school, I have gotten used to my new normal wherein I really magnetize millennial Filipino men's attention and interest towards me and not in the right kind of sense where they saw me as a valuable community member and peer but rather something foreign to the extent of being subhuman and even carrying stigma and fear. I have always been treated as a novelty in the worst sense imaginable. And there are plenty of witnesses to this, how people ridiculed and laughed at the idea of being my prom partner or seating themselves beside me.

Even now in my 30s, there is no instance that I don't draw millennial Filipino men's eyes for doing nothing but pass by or be seated. And many have literally commented about this before I even noticed it. And plenty of people will admit to having had a millennail Filipino man ask them about me, as if it's proper social etiquette to just ask complete strangers about someone they're dining with.

I even used to have a Facebook account wherein I just used my solo 20-something face as the profile picture and I got so many friend requests from millennial Filipino men who all had perfect attendance in viewing my stories and even messaging me to shamelessly ask me questions and tell me they're curious about me because my face looks "different". And I even posted on this account a screen recording from just 2 days of my Messenger inbox from that time. I have as well on my Google Drive a screen recording of my Facebook stories getting around a thousand views purely from millennial Filipino men who took the effort to actually add me just because of my profile picture. And no, they never called me beautiful. They just pried about me and called me mysterious as if there's so much they need to dig out about me like I'm some laboratory specimen they're studying.

On my very last office job, just because the all-male shift saw me 3 seconds every morning and I greeted them a good morning with a smile on my face, they scoured the birthday calendars and anniversary calendars and asked my seatmates and even my trans Team Leader for my name and they nicknamed me "Smiley" and would openly, blatantly say they are curious about me because I am "weird", and then they go again with calling me "mysterious". Like they really just had to know who "Smiley" was because she's "weird", with them calling me weird more times than I can count. As if they cannot survive if they cannot find out who I am just because I'm working there as a woman with things about her that make her stand out to these men. And it was never in a good way. I was once again treated like a novelty and a curiosity rather than a valid peer and someone who could really contribute to getting work done in the office. It was as if they were so much more interested in me rather than the 8 strict articles I broke my back writing in a day.

Needless to say, millennial Filipino men do get curious about me, and not in the humanizing kind of way at all. I was treated like a circus exhibit or an exotic zoo animal rather than a person who has the intellectual capacity to be offended or at least the intellectual capacity to actually register what's going on! I was OBJECTIFIED in the dictionary definition of the word.

This has greatly affected my education and my career life among Filipino circles because of this attitude that I have grown accustomed to albeit it being extremely exhausting. It really does wear you out.

And I guess that's why I started building community with foreign men, particularly the dark-haired ones I could resonate with and relate to. It was never because I wanted sugardaddies or I wanted a better passport. (Why sugardaddies? I could easily get college boys fanboying over me in my 30s! Honey, I'm not thirsty for sugardaddies at all.) I just wanted to be able to get my work done and function in society and actually be valued as a community member and truly SEEN for the human being that I am. Foreigners never treated me like something exotic to feast on. It was the millennial Filipino men that did that to me. And it's so ironic, because that behavior has always been attributed to white guys with their Filipino zoos back in the 20th century.
