Woman's Job?

Featured Replies

  • Popular Post

My son is doing his online testing today. Here's a Google translation screen shot of one of the questions. Kinda interesting. A woman can cook, clean, and get a job - but, let's not take things too far! 

(I hope this is the right forum - I couldn't find the "Farang Pub" one - please move if necessary)

not just a woman, it would be impolite for anyone to try and instruct their parents... it would sort of be 'bossing' them around....

I see nothing wrong with a woman educating parents. Lets face it most parents need all the education they can get, myself included.

We do not always have to take it onboard.

There is no such thing as "women's work", only work which can be done by anyone, which is the attitude the missus and I have.

 

Hold everything! I'm wrong. There is definitely one task that I consider women's work.

That is ironing. Yes, definitely ironing.

Nice evidence of the state of the Thai education system and prevailing gender stereotype thinking of the general population...

All depends whose house it is? I don't own a house here, so.

I suspect the translation is in error.

It would be nice to see the original Thai question and answers.

Would think answer 4 likely "educating children".

Indoctrination hasn't been affected by Covid it seems.

Google translate is evidence? 

Bless. 

 

 

 

Question somewhere in farang land:

Do you have a father and a mother or two fathers or two mothers?

 

I have some more questions ready but I guess they would offend some people and they would be anti PC and possibly not even woke....

All I know is a woman's work is never done.

Which is why they get paid less.

In our village it seems women do almost all the work.

Thai men in general seem more keen on drinking,smoking, and napping.

Straying off topic here. The men can certainly be lazy when given the chance but when they do start working they can work for hours in brutal conditions that would have 99% of farangs quitting within 15 minutes.

My son is in the 6th grade attending a school that's a mixture of private and government funded (or so I have been told). Here's the original question in Thai. Maybe Google translate was a bit off? We are not sure what the "correct" answer actually was!

Don't forget checking out all the young ladies.

 

Best way to meet Thai men sit out front and put a bottle of Johnny on the table.

Best way to meet Thai women do your own laundry and cleaning while smiling and saying wadii to them.

Wife does everything, I have the life of an ATM, I just pay for everything and, it's a tuff life for some.

 

Occasionally I play Chauffer and support her by pushing the trolley at Tesco/Lotus, actually the trolley supports me.

 

Feeling a little thirsty at the moment, should I call out and ask her to bring me a beer, nah, better get off my rear and take the 30 steps to the fridge, my exercise for the day to the fridge and back, wouldn't wanna run her down to the ground, one has to be considerate these days as a SNAG, (sensitive new age guy)......lol

Don't know where you lived, but I saw plenty of Thai men working as hard as could be expected.
