santa cruz your industry. presently dream go to target a strong governing style and crude sense of humor has often drawn fire from human rights advocates and feminists but on sunday he drew fresh criticism when he asked a married woman to kiss him on the lips during a rally in seoul south korea the woman says there was no malice in the act presidential spokesman how iraq contends it was a playful act in line with filipino culture which some filipinos might agree with. or believe that was ok as long as the woman was ok with it it seems like she was the one who even requested it people are just putting malice to it but it was just a simple yes. they turned to his critics of the room as yet another example of what they say is rampant massaging the president's cavalier commentary on sexual assault and a recent announcement about the philippines next on bud's men would certainly not
1:23 pm
be a woman has his detractors saying and nothing is enough online many filipino women have begun using the hash tag go or i am a woman to highlight what they call it is macho fascism take a listen to what the secretary general of women's group gabriela said about the kiss you don't have to kiss the woman if you want to infringe the people in the fact that you kissing the woman. says something about how you view him in women or forty thirty in. the you can express or eggs or say you or you over another person especially a woman is that that's something really you see the president does has a on tuesday said he would resign from office of all offended women signed a petition demanding it here now to help us unpack the controversy. is a journalist and also one of the organizers of the. go campaign she joins us from
1:24 pm
manila also miller we also have antonio can tell us he's a professor of political science state adding kamber oh hello there antonio encumber australia. is a sociologist as well as a senior research fellow at the university of canberra hello there nicole everybody good to have you here good morning good morning to you low key way you are and hello to everybody else who's watching ok let me show you something on my laptop tony one of the things that you study is every day politics when we look at this situation here is the president of the philippines kissing something he brought up from the audience what what does that tell you about everyday politics in the philippines. well. when people say that we saw ginny's already normalized then i would agree with that to some extent because for me to start short reality. many people blame to president for being an agent that
1:25 pm
he saw a genie but they see different yeah i see him as an output of the outcome of that and so us other men is not the only man who's doing got it doesn't make it right but at the same time in order to fight me so again you have to look at more structure to do that it is a product of a worldview it's a product of the way people think and it's not just men who are complicit to so that it's also the women who sort of allow it but women who taught them to be like that and maybe in this situation the women who allowed themselves to because so much in the way everybody risk in the massage in this culture and have done well ma'am i'm not so i'm not saying who said to be on the side me ellen it's yeah but but you know he doesn't understand and i. yes he's the president but if you're going to see you in on the president you're missing the point the point is in order to hold you know you don't want to you do what. you see in the moment i'm more strategic here we're going to fight because we're on to something we don't want and
1:26 pm
so we just. about how to do so gets under way some people i'm just curious because it was a second what you said was almost as if there was no debate in the presence of philippines is a message an ist and he sexist i'm just want to check let me just see one of the guests if there's anyone contend that he's not sexist. people who know there's any debate of people who think that there are people who think you know i'm not even i don't want to. you know i don't agree you but i'm saying that. i limit my accounts or other men who are probably never the mortons you know the way i see it when you're dealing with some sort of you're also demonizing others and i was not a bad person but he's a missile genius many if i want to i want to bring in any other list here we are coming from antonio but i want to bring in a couple of comments from twitter this is he says our government is led by
1:27 pm
a president who displays behavior in public that is disrespectful of women his mouthpieces spin this by saying it's part of our culture even if it isn't children see this on t.v. and the dignity of women in this country is being damaged by this administration and before i pass this over to you i want to read one more is john who says i'm in the philippines and i don't agree with the president's spokesman who said this is part of our culture it is never a light moment or acceptable for a sitting president to just kiss someone else's wife or anyone for that matter on the lips for mere entertainment elected official should always act responsibly and i'm wondering your thoughts on this. ok the president's. claim that you know he's if evan lisa loves women and he's asked very progressive laws. but he has been by only in the same law which states where clearly that you do not abuse women or believe and that you treat women with respect and this is
1:28 pm
a president who has continuously abused the mean insulted women and whenever somebody gets his gold up he's first reaction is just to abuse and not just any abuse but abuse that actually centers on woman. because let me bring you into the conversation here let me show you something though first of all nicole recent compilations thirty examples are to test a sexist remarks in solidarity with rabbi arco here's a compilation of president tatay sexist remarks to turn tail and betray off women in ten of his speeches and one more here from fragrant filipinas to shooting vaginas the term taste toxic sexist remarks want to impact does this have on the environment between men and women in the philippines if anything at all when the president is obviously viewing women in
1:29 pm
a certain kind of way. i think one of the curiosities here is at least for some observers is that considering how up and save the statements have been there has been a massive outrage against a president on the level of people coming out in the streets to madrid what happened in the united states and i think one explanation for that is because what the president is doing is it's familiar it's not necessarily acceptable but it's familiar what he's doing is correct their mistakes of the sketch comedy and watched growing up in the eighty's it's correct the rest of the noontime show in the philippines that you see until to day it's something that people know is slightly unacceptable but it's also something that a lot of the workers way against the president are correct there is sticks i think that is what i observed with a steady disappoint there is over the past two years one of the things they always hear from my respondents whether these are in some communities in the or disaster affected communities in central philippines is that people understand that this is a lot president this is an imperfect person and yet this person is not one
1:30 pm
dimensional this is the same person who brought home distressed filipino workers from the middle east this is the same person who is august seaman a disaster happens this is not to say that his sexism is acceptable but what i am arguing here is that based on my observations people weighed the kinds of values the correct respects that the president presents and i think that's an important insight because there's a tendency to portray the president's supporters as thinking as duped by this charismatic leader but that's not necessarily the case i think there's a lot of there's a lot of scope for debating the values of the people have and i guess the headline is on the air but not necessarily acceptable and what they are is that because i want to bring in one of the other point a lot of his and i want to bring in one of her supporters here on twitter this is lynn she says and then mayor deterred say was the main driving force for why the city's gender po'd came into fruition which other provinces patterned their own agenda or codes and where our own country's gender code was patterned after he got
1:31 pm
important things done for women than those so-called decent politicians have and i what do you make of what she saying. what she's saying is exactly what i was saying that there might have there might be a progressive code endeavor city but this is a chief executive who thinks is above that code and above that law and while maybe some of them might be waiting on he's decisive there's we have we what he what he treats how he treats women like the truth is that a lot of the turkey supporters have come out and see we can't have that either because like if this is the way he treats our mothers our wives our sisters i joe grant you know that's just not an acceptable and it also actually keeps a toxic. atmosphere between men and women and while those shows are indeed some really are i think enough women have also been speaking out
1:32 pm
against a kind of durable violinist that they do spread in themselves and his personal doesn't want to be my response above. i was a little and it is a. just a very quick comment that yes of course then me i did heard it was responsible for the east going and says that protect women but let's not forget that this is a product of civil society groups who are lobbied by women themselves and i think it's just not fair to say that it's the president the only person that instituted these laws and our it's a product of law struggle of women's movement in the city the media and a sexual harassment laws i mean double possible and i think that's the case nationally now with the president to tear down every time he makes policies or endorses policies that are blue women it's not the president stengel handedly steering the country do with the direction that benefits some women we have to give credit to women's movements always been pushing for these policies and. that is out
1:33 pm
there yet any piece and i say something if they say yes. i just like to follow up on what nicole said earlier about the complexity and the ones yes but the problem is that if we saw janet which is a complex problem its roots are conflicts its implications are complex manifestations of it were simply by simply faded so the question of good and bad question a black and white then it becomes a participant then my worry is that people will really go back to their hate ok and and grounds and of course on the point s. . it's it's correct the president is misfortunes another problem is how do you see that is that because it's the philippines miss or just because oppressive that this was sort of some people didn't like that we saw jimmy still be reading an ugly head because the president is a missile genius or it is precisely because we really have a structured sojourn in our society that the president and the speaker of the house
1:34 pm
and the senate president to be. that meeting you know he's maybe of the shell game somewhere let me finish let me say look if. the point is if you're going to want that in part the sentence instead of convincing people to your site then it becomes a pretty soon wonder and therefore you missed the point of a learning. it becomes a teaching learning moment then you missed that because people who are going to go back to their partisan bias that's what i hear because nicole excites the describe these. are the people see that as problematic but it's familiar you know not the way i see it is giving him a pass when he shouldn't be given and. then another loss done you know using it on me as well you know i don't let you know get away with you can assume that that was because it's ok no no no so and telling you know and i hear where you're coming from on the one hand you say the public is letting him get away with
1:35 pm
this and the other hand and tony you mentioned something that i had to write down here structural massage me we all realize it's there in your words i want to play on that with this video comment that we got from reuben james who pitched the idea for today show that we're doing and he talks about the impact of that structural massage and have a listen. president. misfortunate speak remarks and women have translated into more brutal violent and distasteful attacks against him during his administration he speeches he always mentions about the binary distinction of what biological e-mail what's biological female and with this kind of distinction it's a social construction of what's the function of women in society in this kind of thinking limits them into a more power structure a disadvantage because i want to pass i went over to you when the people that you talk to did the ideas that he brings up in his video comment resonate with them
1:36 pm
that there is a structural issue here. and well it's not a ticket as such but it's very obvious that there are clearly gendered implications of president didn't disclose use it in what i want to emphasize here as well is that while his vulgar words matter i think words matter i think there and said and president definitely must not have a free pass but i think we also have to focus on something more lead and things that are clearly gendered but not ridiculous because the president is not drawing attention to them so for example the president's bloody war and just the main victims here are going in these are with us these are mothers who lost their loved ones and sometimes they feel like with the president said something sexist on camera we don't do focus on that which is obviously important but i think we also have to draw attention to something that's less overt and give voice to women who don't have as much choice when it comes to this issue and i think the challenging part here is that some of the women we've talked to not a lot but some of the women we dug do unfortunately see the president as the only
1:37 pm
person who can help them with their condition so we've got to build those of the drug war who actually blame the police for the killings of their husbands and they would actually think that the president who brought race himself as a father figure is the only person that can help them can we blame these women for thinking that this is the only president a sexist president that can help them not a certainty and i think this is how my ideas speak to professor good jarrett is atheist and this is a structural issue if our courts were working if our police were less corrupt then these women would not be in their hopes on a president who knew that the feminist sensibilities but also portrays himself as someone who helps women it's very tricky i'm incredibly frustrated and i recount and people like in diane the mental help piece these together because it's incredibly complex and confusing to get i want to play and i and i sit tight for a second i want to get straight away i'm going to but i want to share something with our audience who are watching right now. the humor present
1:38 pm
a ted say is questionable but it definitely flows along for the idea of a women are there as a punch so we put together some clips to give you an example of that and then i'm going to go straight to and i have a look. we're a good little got about. a few left before only. one of the most. is of promising virgins when you go to. a black hole divergence here not in heaven. that we let a lover cruising whistling or calling a woman in public with words having to be going to be sions or implications is actually sexual harassment so it seems as if you buy lead your own ordinance do you have any reaction or. you know you'd like to be in the business that being me.
1:39 pm
is. so much material right there but it wasn't any of those instances in guy that influence the setting of a livin it was this headline here next on but man won't be a woman to target a says that was that was the final straw right that may have been the final straw for a lot of the buyer or. people involved but i've been writing every time he's come out with a sexist message in his statement let's get that clear ok but speaking of or when the call speaks of windows of drug war victims and mothers of drug were victims many of them i would call and then dial the explain the thinking behind it but by a cold is i am a woman and i have no mind that there is i will fight so this me has it's
1:40 pm
got two important rallying cries unpack them for us. ok it's not just me suddenly old to me such an is a big point. it's also that many. see that this is only really a reflection of a lot of other fatal flaws into thirty including the autocratic streak that had led to a drug war that has killed thousands of filipinos and many of the mothers and wives of those long winded drug war. because they know they see their plight you know as a reflection or a continuum of detectors tendencies and it's not just me such an image jinnie he's actually a reflection on the whole feudal he is when he says that you know nobody can stop me nobody can question me that is exactly his problem and that is how it comes out
1:41 pm
