Samson’s strength was trapped on Delilah’s body as Hidilyn Diaz clinched her gold medal at women’s 55kg weightlifting event at the 30th SEA Games 2019.
Her exquisite performance led her to dominate the competition that made her a woman of inspiration among young individuals.
The years of experience strengthen Diaz as she previously won silver medal in 2016 Rio Olympics and gold medal in 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia in the same event.
Her success paid off the criticisms towards her career that lifting weights were only for men, those judgements were turned into loud cheers of pride.
Diaz truly lifted the morale of women where there is no such thing as standard for gender.

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!)
