Most people I know does not even agree to this, because they usually say we are in the Philippine Society (Maria Clara culture and Catholicism and all that shiz) or it should be the guy investing and making efforts for the girl.
And some Filipinas believe on that notion, yet they are also rebelling against the patriarchal society we have in the Philippines? Lol.
Most of us also want gender equality (There’s even a prevalent issue of political correctness.). How can we achieve gender equality or even try to promote it, if even people are not practicing it? You fight for equality, but you want a guy that you like to please you and you hate it because he is not making his first move? While on the other hand, you are there, confined in your normative views, silently suffering like a damsel in distress. Oh, such another empty ideal~
If guys can court girls, we can court guys too. It is a matter of choice, not what bigots say. Yeah, I believe I am still living in the 90s, when women even burn their bras as a sign of protest against chauvinism.
