Think about the ph phrases babae kasi, lalaki kase, haligi ng tahanan, ilaw ng tahanan, and pakipot. How do these words communicate patriarchy? The term babae kase is a representaon of being so, if they cannot do things that are not meant for them they they babae kase. The term lalake kase is the opposite of babae kase because when they do hard things and completed is successfully they say lalaki kase because men is meant for hard works. Haligi ng tahanan and ilaw ng tahanan is the representaon of father and mother. While pakipot is for a person that is hard to get or not willing to do such things.
