The Female Forward

What do we do now? It's? the big question we're all facing as the pandemic has radically altered the way we work, socialize and how we take care of ourselves. Gender norms would instruct society to look to men for the answer, but modern women are claiming their space. Refusing to choose between beauty and power, they are changing the dialogue and proving that the two forces—which every female inherently possesses-go together. Gone are the days of a single definition of femininity. Women are now demanding for inclusivity and non-binary views of beauty and femininity. Most importantly, they are embracing their strength and putting value to the entirety of the female experience. Together with Pantene who's been helping women recharge and come out of the pandemic embodying their full potential, MEGA brought together some exemplary women to talk to them about the future of female.

Hidilyn Diaz

A woman who needs introduction, Hidilyn Diaz is proof that when women dream and succeed, they lift a whole nation with them. Her iconic pose in mid-squat, holding a combined weight of 224 kilograms during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics won't only go down in history as the moment the Philippines won its first gold, but it also officially shattered the barrier that women can't be both strong and beautiful. “When people say women are weak and are not good leaders, as an Olympic Champion, winning in the Olympics says it all. Women are strong, we can be whoever we want to be," Hidilyn proudly claims. If women were afraid to try out weight training before in fear of looking bulky, the Olympian's breakthrough inspired Filipinas alike to be their own definition of feminine.
