Double Standard of Morality Double standard of morality gives the impression of men being
superior to women. In as much as we would like to practice gender equality, the rules for human
conduct and human appropriateness are not alike for both sexes as practiced in most areas in the
Philippines.
Double Standard of Morality

A. Boys and men are permitted to stay out more and up to a later time than the girls and women.
B. A philandering or immoral man is considered as demonstrating his manliness or “pagkalalaki”.
A philandering or immoral woman is considered as cheap, bad, or “masamang babae”.
C. Women are expected to remain virginal until they marry, while it is generally acceptable for
men to have sexual experience before marriage.
D. Women are socially judged and legally penalized for adultery and for having children out of
wedlock.
E. Men who stay at home to do household chores instead of having jobs to earn money for the
family are considered by some as “under de saya”.
VIRGIN  refers to a person who has not had sexual interaction

VIRGINITY  is the quality or state of being chaste
Staying virgin until marriage keeps you…
SOCIALLY - free to develop appropriate relationship with others
EMOTIONALLY - free from exploitation by others - free from guilt, doubt,
disappointment, and loss of reputation
PHYSICALLY - free from pregnancy & venereal diseases - free from having to choose a
hurry- up wedding and an illegitimate child
How does one stay a virgin? KNOW your attitudes and standard VALUE your virginity for your
own good and your future spouse ACT Choose friends with high standards. Stay away from
dangers and temptations. Be kind, firm, and proud of your values.
