Gynocentrism in Thailand?

Featured Replies

I notice many business are run almost exclusively by women. Example: 7-11's, guesthouses, banks, cell phone shops etc.

 

Why is that and were are all the dudes?  Gynocentrism is dangerous and suppose to be a western phenomena, is Thailand going down the worm hole?

 

 

Who says that first, it is gynocentrism and second, that it is dangerous?

I consider Trumps white male government more dangerous than any and all 7/11 and family marts and so on solely run by women

And asking where all the Thai men are just showes that you know nothing, nill, nada about Thailand

Gynocentrism is a pathological set of behaviours driven by instincts and emotional impulses, just like overeating and obesity is driven by the hunger instinct. It does not automatically follow that the instincts and emotional processes that are involved in gynocentrism, will invariably and always produce gynocentrism. Just like it does not always follow that the hunger instinct will lead to overeating and obesity, or that the sexual instinct will lead to rape.

Gynocentrism is merely one of many manifestations of the sexual instinct, desire to pair bond, our emotional response to neoteny and our parental brain. The same general emotional response to neoteny drives millions of people daily to dog videos on YouTube. The same parental brain is active when raising children. The reason why gynocentrism is so common in society, is because unlike obesity and other addictive and pathological behaviours like smoking, we do not shame people for it or discourage it or teach people about the harms it will cause. People understand the risks of overeating, obesity and smoking and people are discouraged from doing it by wider society (with the exception of the fat acceptance people). People go to jail if they indiscriminately act on their sexual instincts.

I think the working Thai woman are great...all the (young) dudes probably at home doing the dishes and looking after the kids [emoji14]

 

 

Despite being a patriarchal, feudal society, we all know it's the women that ultimately get stuff done around here, whether it be directly or indirectly.

 

Pussy fear is bad for your health... like obesity and smoking.

You can't have been here very long if you haven't seen who does the work here.  It's the WOMEN. The guys sleep in the taxi or lay on the motorbike or pick their faces in the rear view mirror at the traffic lights. Without the women this place is finito. Roll on ASEAN. Penalties are coming. So many downright lazy men here. Think they are entitled to just watch boring soccer ( they are mesmerized by it ) all the time while she does 99%.. Wouldn't get away with that crap in the west. BTW how the hell THB is still strong ! against Real $$$.. cooking the books like Greece did  ?   Things are coming down the pike for Thailand.

Not true , it depends what kind of work , plenty of shop owners who are run by men or families.  If you can't see that you don't go out much .

The bike service shops , mostly men . The air-con company I use to get service , only men arrive at my door.  .  

The staff working at big C is mostly a mix of men and woman , with the exception of the cashier, seems to be mostly women . 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"is Thailand going down the worm hole?"  Me thinks some posters here have already gone down the worm hole !
