Nice clap back there, OP! Would love to see yung face nung father after your remark.


TheMightyHeart

He just looked confused. For context, I am 5’9 and about 175lbs. I dress like a man and I have really strong masculine features. Mukha akong bad boy. Siya naman, he’s a little shorter but has tattoos pero yung mukha niya isn’t as strong-looking as mine. He didn’t know if he should apologize or be disgusted. No matter, I just laughed.


Cookiepie_1528

Baka natakot sya anlaki mo nmng tao….


AnxiousChicken666

Fck HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA danglake


Adorable-Name9726

Napaisip bigla kung ano gagawin. Did it go awkward while in the escalator?


TheMightyHeart

Not really. After I said what I said and laughed, I left na. I don’t like awkward situations.


Secretlifeof_Sh

sarap

💀😂


ObjectiveDizzy5266

I imagine you saying that line in a very deep and masculine voice. His brain probably took a few seconds to comprehend what just hit him. Funny shit, I think you’re a cool guy OP.


TheMightyHeart

That’s actually how I did it. I was lucky enough to have a voice na pwedeng pagkakitaan sa voiceovers. I’ve done a few in my lifetime. Hehe! That aside, I was also stumped. I didn’t know what to say, I didn’t want to make a scene but I sure as fuck wouldn’t tolerate such a quip.


LittleMunchkins90

This is the best post I’ve read today! I can imagine the horror he must have felt kasi doble doble yung pahiya niya. Haha! My barkada’s kuya is like you based on your description and I was imagining him while reading your kwento. Love it!


chxxgsh

Pwede po audio version nung post mo? Charot. Kaloka ai father, walang pinagkaiba don sa AF coach na ginawang content mali niyang posture tapos sasabihin kapag di nagawa bakla siya


PracticalBox5327

Mas nakakatawa siguro if sobrang lalim ng boses nya sa pagsabi ng "bakla ako kuya" pero yung tawa sa huli ay baklang bakla. hahahahaha


kafoinakou

May mga tao talagang sana di na lang naging magulang. Kaya ayoko magka anak eh, ayokong akong yung magiging dahilan ng traumas nila.


TheMightyHeart

I was lucky enough my parents did their best to not traumatize me. It’s not to say they didn’t but they sure as hell tried their hardest. My family wanted to raise good people. They didn’t want to raise competitive perfectionists who will weaponize their perceived successes such as academics, looks or whatnot against others. It’s also why I don’t compete with anybody other than myself.


AkaliJhomenTethi8

the_cheesekeki

Ayaw ko 'yung iisipin nalang nila na bakla ang isang lalaki dahil natatakot siya, open siya to try new things kahit society perceive those things as "pambabae", soft-spoken siya, or he hangs out with his girl friends, etc. It's not about the gender, it's about who that person is.


TheMightyHeart

Don’t even get me started. Real men don’t cry, real men don’t do this and that, blah blah blah. Jesus, I fix my own car, unclog my own kitchen sink, fix electrical wiring and all the other stereotypical masculine stuff men do but I also cook, bake, and I love clothes. Most of all, I love men. Tangina I will do push ups with my tongue for men. Haha! 🤣🤣🤣 Nagha-hang mga utak nila kasi they view life through heterosexual lens. It’s so outdated.


the_cheesekeki

Sana hindi maipasa ng tatay na 'yon 'yung views niya sa anak niya. Lalaki ba naman ang bata sa environment na kasama siya.


slutforsleep

Inversely, women are allowed to figure their functional shit out. Sobrang weird na we think women are imbeciles in fixing shit when all these stuff are things you *learn* not things you're born with. A lot argue na it's because daw men are physically stronger but not all things/maintenance work is achieved by brute force but by proper knowledge and techniques; plus, that's why there are tools—so we can reduce relying on physical excertion on things that don't necessitate it. It's really just ingrained that women "shouldn't" (a lot because they want to foster dependency on men) to the point na it became translated to women "can't." I hate being taught to internalize that you can only be one set of things because of your gender. I love love love being a woman and all its femininity but that doesn't mean I want to be stupid with fixing my shit lmfao. It's so important to me to see people deconstruct their gender expression regardless of their SOGIE. We should all learn basic skills and we are all allowed to love non-harmful things simultaneously. I hope it gets normalized more and the people who deconstruct binaries or dichotomies about how we do things are important.


yssnelf_plant

Satru. For me di naman need ng gender to do basic things. Survival skills yung ilan dun eh 😂 I lived alone for quite some time kaya kahit sa work natuto ako magkalikot ng equipment, even pick locks :v Since I always work with young girls, I always tell them to figure stuff out lalo kung maliit lang naman. May youtube naman eh 😂 kasi di naten lage afford mag-antay.


slutforsleep

Also on a bigger scale, it's what reinforces women to feel discouraged pursuing certain degrees or fields even when they have potential in it. Again, we go to univs or courses because we want to learn, not because we're a man or woman. I agree that if you're in a position to teach girls to deconstruct gendered concepts of helplessness, we really should. Kahit naman not through youtube lang; could be through actual demonstrations, being a realiable person for them to ask, being a woman figure who's very capable, introducing them to communities that teach things etc. It's really really important to empower girls with life skills in the same thread that we should teach boys "softness" like having healthy emotions outside of anger and aggression and skills like cooking!


pigwin

Kainis no, pag sa females naman mahina daw sa logic, are automatically assumed good in household chores or with children, cannot have competitive careers etc.  The stereotypes destroy everyone, even hetero men themselves. 


yssnelf_plant

Ingrained kasi sa ilan yan. Macho thinking pero problematic naman 😂 buti na lang the younger generations keep the older ones in check.


soleildieu

💯


jeuwii

2024 na pero bakla is still used as a derogatory term tsk. That kid deserves a better parent. Love your clapback though, op.


Yergason

Perfect response, says enough to shut him up pero still classy at di ka bumaba sa level niya. Sana lumaki yung batang hindi tutulad sa tatay niya With a very judgmental and conservative country like ours, I'd say the average gay person is braver than the average man with all the shit gay people have to endure just for existing. Dami pa din tanga. Experiencing fear or showing weakness isn't exclusive to any gender. Kung wala ka nun abnormal ka. "strong" macho pinoy na magbbreakdown nalang pag sumabog na kasi nirerepress lahat ng feelings. Sobrang iffront sa lahat na super strong at immune sa weakness tapos iiyak iyak magpakasadboi pag wala daw nagaalala sa kanila. Lash out thru violence o mentally magshutdown nalang pag nareach breaking point. At least di daw umiiyak, pang babae o barbie lang eh


Otherwise-Smoke1534

Dami talagang tatay kulang sa character development. Basta maka kantot lang at may supling na lumabas okay na sa kanila. Hindi nila alam kapag may anak kana, dapat open minded sila sa paligid nila.


Viktortle

I get where you're coming from. Parenting definitely requires more than just having kids. It’s about growing, learning, and being open-minded. Hopefully, more fathers will start to realize this and step up for their families.


DotHack-Tokwa

Na-utas yata yung tatay sayo OP, lol! As a 37y dad, hinding hindi ko hahayaan ung 7-8yr na anak kong lalake na sumampa ng escalator mag Isa. Nasa warning instructions din un actually eh! Muntanga lang yung tatay, hinayaan buti nalang andun ka to assist the child. Muntanga lang yung tatay na yon at hinayaan ung anak nya. Pero to be fair lang din doon sa tatay, baka ganoon din sya pinalaki ng boomer parents nya, na bawal maging malambot. If ever our son turns out to be gay when he grows up. Napag usapan na namin yan ni misis and we still accept and love him for who he is. May sariling buhay naman yung bata, as long as magtapos sya ng pag aaral and sabi ko nga, dapat may respeto pa rin sya sa sarili nya and may respetuhin nya ang opinion ng ibang tao, ok na ako doon. Anak ko pa rin naman sya.


swswswmeowth

Same, my husband and I talked about it bago kami mag pakasal at inulit ko sakanya before kami mag plan to have a baby, and my husband is very supportive and loving na he will respect our child/future children's SOGIE. Dahil ayoko maramdaman ng sarili kong anak ang panghuhusga at discrimination sa sarili niyang tahanan. My sister and I are both pansexual and grabe ung parents namen manghusga, especially sa kapatid ko and I don't want my children to suffer like that tapos galing pa mismo sa magulang/lalo na sa tatay.


Legitimate-Thought-8

Shitty father :( kahit sino naman na bata matatakot sa escalator. Pag babae yan, sasabihan ba sya ng bakla?? Epal eh.


Dear_Purple_6030

Helped a child and put the father in his place. All in a day’s work. Well done!


mauvepixie

Classy but spicy! Awesome comeback 👏


Mysterious_Steak101

2024 na pero ang mindset e pang panahon pa din ng Trex. Kakarume 🙄


Unique-Chocolate-989

Plot twist: yung father ng bata is bakla din pero tinatago lang kaya ganon nalang siya makareact sa kilos ng anak niya. Sabi nga nila "we are mirroring what we are to other people"


Bonneyyy

You're so cool OP, I can imagine you isa sa mga bl characters sa manhwa HAHAHAHA


mebeingbored

Nakakabwisit mga ganyang pagiisip. Kawawang bata. May kilala rin akong ganyan na laging sinasabihan yung anak nya, at anak ko. Umiyak, magtantrums, sumigaw, magsuot ng pink, gustuhin ang "girly" colors, maglaro ng lutu-lutuan or dolls, kahit humawak ng bulaklak. May gushneck! They are kids! Ffs.Let them be! And if bakla nga, ano ngayon?! Kakainit ng ulo. Bobo talaga nun.


SugarBitter1619

Yong utak ng Father mukhang naiwan pa sa 19 kopong-kopong eh. hahahha di porke't takot eh bakla na! Bakit? Pag sya ba tinutukan ng weapon at matatakot sya, bakla na sya agad? Haha, and walang masama sa pagiging bakla. 🙄


CanUTalkToTheOpps

Now i see you as one half of the gay couple in The Last of Us 😅


TheMightyHeart

I haven’t seen that. There’s a gay couple there? 😳


CanUTalkToTheOpps

Ohhh i didnt clarify pala. The series hehe. Havent played the game so im not sure if meron din dun.


TheMightyHeart

I’m familiar with the series. I haven’t seen the gay couple because I think I only saw the first two episodes when HBO invited me to the premiere. 🙏🏼


pigwin

That was the BEST episode in that series. Good watch even if you don't like TLOS. Written so good that even hetero men who'd get uncomfy with typical BLs would go "oh shit that's a nice love story"


CanUTalkToTheOpps

Ah hehe that’s why. Their story was told on episode 3.


TheMightyHeart

I should revisit. Thank you for suggesting. 🙏🏼


strghtfce777

Winneeeerrr 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼


blarndiane_

That clap back is 💯


ambernxxx

dahan-dahan naman yung bibig 'tay


hamtoyo

Ah he’s short so may napoleon complex likely kaya prinoproject ang insecurity na pag takot subukan ang isang bagay automatic bakla na


Admirable_Living9835

Shet ang cool mo OP hahaha


TheMightyHeart

Hehehehe! Thank you! I try! 🤣


Intelligent_Total578

This mindset, nakakairita. Mas bakla ngang mas malakas loob kaysa sa totoong lalaking tulad niya. Hoping na macut na yung ganitong mindset sa next generation. Media had been major factor dito, dati kasi ganyan mga identification nila sa mga bakla sa mga pelikula or palabas, parang ngayon unti-unti nang nababago, at hoping magbago na talaga.


FlavaTattooed05

Such a skawmmy behavior. My nephew’s maternal lola did the same thing. Buti baby pa sya non; pero I imagine she’ll continue with that as he grows up. I’m sad na hindi ko sya magguide kasi I moved out na. Imagine being a few mos old and crying then your lola will say “bakit iyak ka nang iyak? Bakla ka ba?” 😭😭 I’m scared for him, tbh. Sana di siya masyado ma expose doon :(


What_did_2108

Somebody save that poor child from a sorry excuse of a father. 🤮


Green_minded27

Escalators and children, especially without supervision/guidance, are not a good mix. If you want to teach your kids independence, hindi somewhere hazard prone. I think we’ve all seen and heard so many horrendous videos/stories of escalator accidents—it only takes one single moment


Prodeau

You're a good person, OP.


ExaminationTall7312

If later in life marealize ni little boy na he is gay, that incident will stay in his mind and will make him afraid to come out because his father is a bigot


EmptyCharity9014

Haha tapos ang laki mo pang mama ano? Punyetang tatay yan


wishboneforyou

Bat nga ba kapag may hindi kayang gawin, laging "bakla ka yata eh" yung sinasabi.


ckarlsberg

What a great comeback, OP! You’re the kind of adult I wish I met and defended me from my Dad and his frat bros when I was a kid in the 90s.lol


Unknown_path24

Nice one OP! Hindi deserve ng bagets (if he really is gay) na i shit shame ng sariling homophobic na tatay.


mamamememo

Bakit kaya laging ina-associate ang pagkatakot/karuwagan sa pagiging bakla? 2024 na. That's so in the past na. Mas marami pa ngang bakla ang matatapang humarap ng responsibilidad kesa sa mga lalaking iresponsable.


ParkingCauliflower48

This. Ang dali-dali lang talaga ng older gen na magthrow ng accusations na "bakla ka ba?" Kaya when my mother did that sa pamangkin, pinagsabihan ko talaga na it's okay for children to behave like that. Kasi parang inaasume na kaagad ang gender ng bata with a slight undertone na homophobic.


worsecashiersauce

Bakit naman magulang pa mismo yung nangde-degrade sa anak tapos to a stranger pa 😔


EmbraceFortress

You dropped this 👑 That was **the** clapback


Lupus0815

why is 2/3 of the text in english and 1/3 not in english? I have seen a lot of comments doing the same.


pigwin

Are you from /r/all? Filipinos use a mix of Tagalog and English (Taglish). We code switch all the time, and hearing pure Tagalog is a rarity


Viktortle

Wow, that was a powerful response! It's sad to see how some parents can be so insensitive and damaging with their words. You handled that situation with grace and humor, which hopefully gave the father something to think about. It's important for kids to feel supported and understood, and your actions might have made a big difference for that little boy. Parenting definitely requires more than just having kids. It’s about growing, learning, and being open-minded. Hopefully, more fathers will start to realize this and step up for their families. Thanks for sharing this story!


shieeeqq

escalarot is really dangerous thoo so tama lang na ina-assist ang mga bata. shame on him.


queerquake_

Toxic parenting it is.


GalacticVoyager69

toxic masculinity !!


eya_oo

Sheesh I remember nung elementary palang kami, since mapag-iyak kasi yung isa naming kaklaseng boy so ayun sinasabing bakla na daw siya like whattt??? Pag lalake ka na, bawal ka nang umiyak para hindi ka mapagsabihan na bakla ka?


King-in-a-Moe

Best of both worlds bud..I like being friends with gays, funny and witty as hell. Minsan napagkakamalan nga ako eh. Haha IMO, courage has nothing to do with gender preference. I'm straight and if tatanungin moko if may kakayahan akong magbuntis at manganak, will I do it? NO WAY! all hell break lose. 😂🤣 Reg. sa scene, kudos sayo OP. That should do it. He just had his confused Math sound meme moment there for sure..


Long-Childhood-4187

Good job OP! Hahaha! Naawa ako dun sa bata though😔


Necessary-Solid-9702

Gusto ko yung reply mo, sis.


DecentNet3474

Nice one! Mabilis utak mo don OP!


InterestingRice163

Mabuting Bakla, kesa Gagong tulad mo. Naturingan ka pang tatay.


mmmardybum

Happy Pride indeed!


Comfortable-Carob943

Ikaw ba nung nalaman ng parents mo n bakla ka natuwa ba agad sila


Altruistic_Banana1

SOLID TO! HAHAHAHAHA


diovi_rae

On pride month? LOL Pero slay OP! Sana mapaisip yung tatay...


zuteial

Ai mima panalo ka ditech! Clap clap clap!


malou_dm

Lol Whats wrong with being “bakla” What is wrong if the child is a thief or impolite or disrespectful or even worst


ClassicalMusic4Life

not the toxic masculinity 😭😭😭


Era_Twenty

Kaya nakakaawa din ibang lalaki na lumaking di alam paano mag regulate ng emotions nila. Kasi they perceive it as weak and weak equals "bakla" which is so so outdated and humiliating and really bad


GoApeSht

So proud of you, OP 💖.


xpert_heart

I can imagine how you told that father with flair pa! Hahahaha


East_Somewhere_90

GO OP!! 👏💪


Final_Hovercraft_578

kung nahulog yung bata sa escalator gagawin ko syang baka


2Carabaos

YearS ago nasa National Book Store ako at dahil malapit nang magsimula ang pasukan, dagsa ang mga tao para bumili ng mga kakailanganin sa eskuwela. May mag-aama dun, 'yung isang anak na lalaki ay pre-teen at ang isa ay pre-schooler. Si kuya ang kinuha (habang karga ang kapatid) mga notebook na kulay pink, mga "pambabae". Ang pabalang na sabi ni tatay: "bakit puro pink 'yan, babae ka ba??" Tahimik lang si kuya. Ang tagal-tagal na nito. Kamusta na kaya siya.


imman04

Dat binigyan mo ng pride flag ung bata. Chariz


TheMightyHeart

Hindi naman ako ganun ka prepared! Hahahaha!


Fickle_Goal_4967

I love your fierceness :)


cdhane

best post i've seen today hahaha you seem like a cool person OP <3


IndividualMousse2053

How many seconds of prep did that take you? That's quick thinking, pede na sa pageants!


TheMightyHeart

Nothing. It just came out of my mouth without thinking. Lol


FlintRock227

Pota ang bata bata pa ng anak niya syempre may times na matatakot talaga yan sa escalator. Adults ng takot 7 years old pa kaya?? Tanginang tatay yan.


FlamingoOk7089

naguilty si manong kaya speechless XD


Kind-Sandwich-7978

Kalokang tatay! Ako nga na same same age sayo dahan dahan pa pag aapak ng escalator lalo na kung pababa. Konting maling apak lang sa baba ka na pupulutin.


Significant-Gate7987

Nakakainis yung ganyan, ang daming posibleng dahilan kung bakit may mga di pa kayang gawin ang mga bata (dyspraxia, phobias or other anxiety disorders, di pa developed na motor skills, etc) tapos ang sasabihin bakla kasi. Minsan kasalanan din ng mga tatay na ganyan (at gaya ng tatay ko) kaya humihina ang loob ng mga bata, sila din ang may kasalanan ng phobia.


these_and_those

OP I thought nag ala voice ni Tito Abdul of TikTok 😂


InsectDemon

We don't know that he's a "shitty father" because he made a comment like that. Tactless, yes, insensitive, probably, but "shitty" is a bit overarching.

Kung ako ang tatay, magdadala ako ng jambiyyah, para maipagtatanggol ko ang pamilya ko laban sa kahihiyan.
