It’s another victorious hurrah for the Philippines as Asian Champion Margielyn Arda Didal bags another gold on the women’s game of SK.A.T.E in the recently concluded 2019 South East Asian Games held in Tagaytay, Philippines.
Once again, Didal awed the spectators as she showcased her flawless stunts and beat fellow Filipina skateboarder Christiana Means in the tricks competition.
Didal also brought home the fourth Philippine gold medal in skateboarding during last year’s 2018 Asian Games which happened in Indonesia.
As a daughter of a street vendor and a carpenter, Didal is forever grateful for aside from giving pride to her country, she also turned her family’s life around.
Topic: Breaking Gender Stereotypes.
Sub Topics: Women in Sports and Men in Pageantry.
Welcome Reader! Gender Equality, is the highlight of this website which aims to break stereotypes among men and women in their chosen fields. Society, having lived a hundred years, have a great role of shaping the perspective of oneself, and more often than not we are imposed by set standards on how men and women SHOULD act. Accumulating the influences throughout the generations, added with such shift in societal institutions, individual perceptions, and people's oppenness to change, the mindset of individuals about gender roles have changed. Nowadays, men and women have the freedom to choose their desired fields where they can unleash potentials and strengthen their capabilities thus further widening the horizon of society’s prior standards for femininity and masculinity- bringing color to the divergence of each gender’s empowerment. What is once Pink for women and Blue for Men is now "whatever color your kid wants to be his/her favorite." Because believe us or not, real men wear whatever color he likes and real women knows how to fight (even in stilettos!)
