Babae kasi tends to stress some weakness, defect, or even "craziness"
in women. Additionally, the statement has a tendency to "essentialize,"
implying that women are this way by nature. In contrast, lalake kasi is used to excuse male behavior as "normal"; I've even heard it used to reassure a woman after she learns her husband is having an extramarital affair, with the phrase once more implying that this is how men are created. . . Attempt to be more perceptive. In some kind of a summary, these works convey patriarchy by the roles they portray for men and women, as well as through the freedom and individual rights of women while also conforming to male regulations as the primary subject of patriarchy.
