Mamling

Mamling is a colloquial term primarily used in the Philippines to describe a man who is perceived to be overly effeminate or who exhibits characteristics stereotypically associated with women. The term carries a derogatory connotation and is often used to demean or insult. The usage of "Mamling" can be considered offensive due to its potential to perpetuate harmful gender stereotypes and discrimination. It is important to note that societal views on gender expression are evolving, and the use of such terms can be hurtful and insensitive. While the origin of the word is unclear, it is likely a portmanteau of "Mama" or a similar feminine term, and "lalaki" which means man in Tagalog. The term suggests a man who is like a woman.
