Analysis: Duterte insulted 'crazy women' at an event to honor women. He’s done worse.
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, speaking at a news conference on March 7 at the Malacanang Presidential Palace in Manila. By Emily Tamkin Emily Tamkin Foreign affairs Email Bio Follow March 12 at 12:17 PM Rodrigo Duterte, president of the Philippines, decided to insult women at an event Monday meant to honor those in attendance.
These are not the first derogatory comments Duterte has made about women. In 2018, he ordered soldiers to shoot communist female rebels in the vagina and said the women would be “useless” without their vaginas. In 2017, when a portion of the country was under military rule, Duterte said he would personally take responsibility for the consequences of martial law, and that “I will be imprisoned for you. If you rape three [women], I will say that I did it.
The presidential palace operates independently of the departments of national security and foreign policy, Harding said, and while cabinet secretaries want to be on Duterte’s good side, they “don’t necessarily” take his comments as directives. But, on occasion, the people of the Philippines do. This past December, he said, “These bishops of yours, kill them,” adding, “They’re good-for-nothing fools. All they do is criticize.
