How Patriarchy and Misogyny Hurts Without Us Knowing: The Case of the Mandaluyong 'Riding in Tandem' Ordinance

Let me begin this post by expressing that I am utterly indignant at and disgusted with Mandaluyong City's Riding in Tandem Ordinance No. 550, then proceed to presenting the aforementioned city ordinance.

Translated in english, the sign above basically breaks down to:

1. Children 7-10 years old are allowed to hitch a ride on a motorbike.
2. All women are allowed to hitch a ride on a motorbike.
3. It is prohibited for two men to ride a motorbike.

Additionally, two men riding together must present proof that they have a familial relationship (article here specifically mentions a father-and-son pair).

Welcome to Scribey's!

Is.. Is this on? Yes, I think it's on.

Hello, welcome to a blog full of ramblings and prompts and basically just everything in between.

If you've reached this page, I assume that you know that I write for several RP accounts over on Twitter.

And maybe there's where I should start with the introductions: I write for fictional characters, pretending that I am them. I find that writing is a drug, an addiction, and a way of life.

How do I begin to describe myself? For one, I prefer to think of myself as an idea, rather than a person. Hence, Scribey. Not the most creative of names, I know, but I feel it encapsulates mostly what I do. There is no face, no name, no body behind this voice, and I prefer to keep it that way.

So, without further ado, I do hope you would enjoy perusing through these thoughts.
