    Sexual self-scheme and sexual aggrression of male readers of Lad magazine
    Aspero, Maris Pylene P.; Faramiran, Zyreen Lou B. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-10)
    This study was conducted to find out the impact of reading lad magazines on the sexual self-schema and sexual aggression in men. One hundred men of fifty readers and fifty non-readers of lad magazines, from a male dominated institution, 18 to 30 years old served as participants of this study. A survey was conducted and four (4) instruments were used to measure the readership, sexual self-schema, and sexual aggression of men. The design of this study was correlational. To show the relationship between the variables, data were analyzed using the Pearson r correlational statistic. The results of this research show that readership of lad magazines is associated with high sexual self-schema in the study sample and the likelihood of being sexually aggressive in comparison to non-readers. Men learned information regarding sex through lad magazines. These magazines also present women in a sexually arousing manner through their pictures and articles. Men's lifestyle was also affected by their readership of lad magazines.

    Women in male dominated institution: A look into the experiences of female BS Marine Transportation students of John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University-Arevalo
    Alegre, Anavie R.; Cortez, Jee Princess C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2014-04)
    This study sought to determine the gendered experiences of female students in John B. Lacson Colleges Foundation Maritime University - Arevalo and its implications on the integration of women in male dominated courses and professions. This study utilized Joan Acker's theory of gendered organizations as point of reference on how organizations reproduce and maintain sexualized attitudes and assumptions. This study explores female students’ (1) learning experiences, (2) the attitudes of teachers towards them, (3) their relationship with male classmates, (4) access to scholarships, gender sensitive facilities and programs, (5) their perceptions on their experiences and its (5) implications to seafaring works. The data collection made use of unstructured interview schedules and focus group discussions with female students to reveal their experiences, attitudes and assumptions on studying in a male-dominated institution geared towards a male-dominated career. In-depth interviews were also conducted with professional and general education teachers, administrators and the staff of JBLFMU. The findings of the study convey that female students in the university experience benevolent sexism, which refers to considerations, special treatments towards female students in the said university. This treatment encompasses designation of safer and easier tasks to female students. This entails that subtle sexism exists in the university. In addition, despite initial efforts to promote gender equality in the university system, the JBLFMU still lacks mechanisms that cater to the needs of tlie female students.

    Portrayals of women and feminist issues on feminist -themed Filipino movies: A content analysis
    Alba, Phoebe Ann A.; Basa, Cyprian Jade L. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-05)
    This descriptive study analyzed two feminist-themed movies in the Philippines in terms of their portrayals of women and issues concerning women. Specifically, this study sought to examine how women were portrayed in the selected movies using (1) characterlevel analysis, which included observation of personal characteristics, appearances, and gender roles portrayed by the female characters); and, (2) scene-level analysis, which identified issues of sexualization, subordination, underrepresentation, violence, and acts of empowerment. This study also explored how these portrayals of women and feminist issues relate to the social realities of the films’ milieu. The findings revealed that there were some disparities between Sister Stella L. and Crying Ladies in terms of their portrayal of female characters, most notably in personal appearances and clothing. There were significant presentations of issues concerning women such as sexualization, underrepresentation, subordination, and violence. Female characters in both films were observed to have participated in traditional gender roles as well as in community politics and productive roles. These participation of women in non-traditional feminine roles in the films confirmed that female characters are empowered specifically in welfare, access, conscientization, participation, and control.
