'WOMEN BELONG TO THE BEDROOM!"
Who said that? Ferdinand Edralin Marcos at the height of the Snap Presidential Elections in 1986.
Whom did he want to bring down? Cory Aquino and all other women in the Philippines -- Imelda, Imee, Irene, the rest of the Filipino women. (As he had died by that statement, all women today, including Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno are reminded of his extremely misogynistic tendencies.) By that statement he also brought down the dignity of all the women around the globe.
And so half of the world's population, the WOMEN, were degraded, denigrated, dismissed as significant partners.
What other reasons can we use to say that his statement is not one that should come from a hero?
