It's about Filipino writers not being able to write using their native tongue and be recognized for it. The poem isn’t about female oppression.

We are like slaves to our men, and sometimes our sons too. The woman of that country have been raised to know that their purpose in life is to cook, clean, and have babies. To some men, that is all we're good for. I am glad I live in America, and I am free to speak my mind to anyone without worrying about getting beaten, or yelled at. -Mooka- I am a filipina too, and sometimes I feel uncomfortable speaking my mind because in the phillipines, the men barely ever give you the chance to speak your mind.

I am American and my Fiancee is Filipina. Sometimes if we disagree about something she apologizes to me later for speaking out or "against" me. I have told her time and time again...and...I mean it... She is always free to speak her mind with me. She's free to disagree with me. And I will never belittle or intimidate her for doing so. I encourage her on a daily basis to wake up from the "Muted cry" I think she's starting to get the idea. ;-) Don This is something that I deal with from time to time.
