His and hers

Well, last month, my mom really wanted to buy a watch. So, lagi namin sya sinasamaha maghanap. Tapos, she said na she also wanted to buy one for my dad. So sabi namin yung partners nalang yung bilin nya. So we looked. Then, napansin ko lang na yung watch na for men is bigger than the one for women. his and hers daw tawag dun, sabi ng brother ko. so i asked, wala namang nakasagot sa kanila.

Tapos habang pauwi, pinagusapan naman namin yung mga gusto naming cars. My kuya said, mostly, SUV's like pajero, patrol, etc. Eh ako din, yun ang gusto ko. Then my brother said, "hindi bagay sayo yun, pang hando jazz lang kayong mga girls." My mom and my sister agreed because, well, they like honda jazz. I disagreed, syempre, kasi ayoko nun. Its too small eh. sabi nila, yun daw yung for girls. Girly cars, as they call it.

So, bakit kaya ganun? Does the size dictate for whom it'll be? His or hers? Siguro baka ganun kasi gender biased pa nga talaga ang society. The bigger stuff is for men because they're more powerful, and the small version is for women, because we're only loke, theire subordinates.
