Why Few Thai Women Are Saying #MeToo

a truly sad piece of filth....logically speaking, there should be zero sexual harassment in thailand because it's so easy to get laid
through commercial channels. 
It's all about control and fear . Rapists also have access to hookers the world over but prefer to rape.

Oh there are many ways, and societies are ever evolving them.

 

As I say though the best first step is to stop the contemptible practices of victim blaming/shaming...

Yes, I have re read it and theres no answer to the question

What are the societies that you speak of and in what ways are they doing it ?

The best way to stop people being harassed is for sexual predators to stop.

but sexual predators can't stop

ask Donald

would you recommend medication or surgery?

How long should they be "put away" for ?

Jail them for life for say, groping ?

I am personally against the idea of imprisonment which only perpetuates abuse, only the subject changes. Groping is not as harmless as you think it is, it can cause significant hurt.

Donald Trump was having fun with words, he is incapable of abusing anybody.

Please stop going on about Trump. He gets a mention in every thread

Where did I suggest that groping was harmless ?

I was merely suggesting that jailing somebody for life for say groping would not be excessive. You did not expressly suggest that groping was harmless, so am sorry.

Explain how that works ?

The attacked should speak to the attacker ?

The potential rapist would not do it if someone spoke to him and asked him not to do it ?

The attacker and his potential victims must be separated. I hope the Kingdom maintains a database of sex offenders. They must be exiled permanently to one of the many uninhabited islands in Indonesia until such time as they are not ready to be reintegrated into society without abusing.

Why Few Thai Women Are Saying #MeToo

 

They are being under-reported, possibly?

We need more Thai women in the media....just a thought.

Methinks, the idea of sexual abuse does not exist in Thai culture. Thai men or those who understand the culture very well should identify what constitutes abuse and lend their support to freeing Thai women from it. Imposing Western ideas of abuse might not work in Thai society. 

Western women who understand abuse very well but are not going to impose their ideas of feminist bullshit should be welcomed to 'visit' Thai society to reform Thai women's lot. Then instances of Thai Women Saying #MeToo might increase.

The thread is not about poor, unknown women being raped on the street, and being scared and ashamed to report to some macho police, it's about wannabe actresses being molested by a famous and powerful man.

Many women have paid that price in exchange for good jobs.. I am not impressed by the whole lot.

No it isn't about that.

 

It's about the culture of victim blaming/shaming that exists here.

 

read the OP if you are unaware of this.

All and just read up on the journals dealing with the various means, legal and psychiatric, that societies are looking at to deal with sexual harassment/assault.

 

Now care to get back on topic which is about why women are unwilling to report such crimes...

Yes, i know the OP is about women in Thailand, but it refers to the Hollywood scandal as well.

As far as i know, what you call  'the culture of victim blaming/shaming' exists everywhere, so i think it's fair enough if we discuss the topic without being restricted into Thai borders.

Maybe there's no #metoo in Thailand due to the lack of Jewish movie moguls.

 

or they don't have a problem exchanging sex for money.

or they don't see a guy copping a feel as a big deal.

or they don't see all men as evil.

And I think it's fair that any and all comments blaming/shaming the victims, trying to sidetrack down bogus 'some women make it up/enjoy it' diversionary tactic routes, should receive the contempt they deserve.

Has anyone in Thailand ever been prosecuted for making a compliant to the Police ?

Not sure where you are living but try looking at the Thai computer crimes act

 

This is used against everyone who says something about someone, so you go to the police make a complaint it goes down on the computer system, or say anything on FB and you are nicked sunshine, why not try it.

 

Just ask Andy Hall or Jonathon Head what they had to suffer along with many others.

 

The CCA and LM laws are the sole reason the country is in such a mess and 50 years behind civilized country's who look at the acts and say they are draconian. They are simply there to stop free speech and stop whistle blowing, ie the reporting of crimes as those who do, suffer from this act.

 

Yes I do know a person who was charged under this act, but he did the right thing and said up yours.

of course it's fair , but you know very well that things appear in a different way if you look at them from different points of view.

It's not that i recommend that, it may be a tad confusing.

My real argument isn't with you, I don't agree with all your points, but that's life.

 

there are others trying to deflect, defend, blame and ridicule.

 

Those I have issues with.
