This paper explores Judith Butler's gender performativity, how it operates in the women's sexual identity formation and in heterosexual relationships. The men in my previous study (Pingol:2001) were constructing a localized masculinity because theirs is measured, to a greater extent, by gender norms within their community. The women, on the other hand, negotiate their identities in strange and foreign cultural settings, thus I refer theirs as mobile femininity. However, both househusbands and absentee-wives are on the process of discovering the strategies to realign themselves to the new norms arising from the demands of their globalized habitus.
