I have no objection if female lawyers refuse to wear dresses in court,  but I insist they  take the pants off as well.  Oh happy  days.

A noble fight if ever I heard one. 

Shall we fight for real justice or long trousers?

Shall we fight for equality of opportunity or long trousers?

Shall we fight corruption in government and the economy or fight for the right to wear long trousers in court?

Sadly much of the world is stuck in the past or regressing back to it.

In a very traditional society as here in Thailand it is not done for women to wear trousers, nor in court, nor at the Government offices, nor at any other business.... Women wear skirts and blouses, and high heels men wear trousers.... So the Constitutional Court don't need to be asked about it... Women are for reproducing only and have to dress like that..  

Skirts and dresses give easier access to the important women bits, I presume.

It is less than 30 years since women in the UK fought for the right to wear trousers and low heels at work. Thailand is just going through the same social changes that we now take for granted

Typical westerners trying to dictate what is the right thing to do in Thailand.  The same western countries filled with degeneracy and decaying morals and having their culture be eroded by importing "refugees".

 

Stop trying to bring your garbage "progressiveness" to Thailand and just scuttle back to your fallen country.

Did you not understand the article? 

 

It's Thai female lawyers saying they should be allowed to wear trousers at work....not westerners.

I was addressing the people here who support them.

They're lucky they don't have to wear powdered white wigs.

Court should get with the program. Here, there, everywhere.

They still wear those idiotic wigs in UK and Canada too - total Bool Chit

The wigs are more part of a uniform and aren't based on gender. They do sometimes take them off if there are children being questioned in court. In this case it's the difference between the dress code based on gender and not the overall uniform in the form of robes which from a practical point of view aren't necessary either. Of course if you take gender out of the dress code then men will be able to wear skirts.

That just proves you don't understand the article. 

It's Thai women that are trying to bring western progressive views into Thailand not westerners. We are just supporting their right to do it.

 

You might also try to imagine what Thailand would look like with just what Thailand has produced on it's own without western or other influence. You certainly wouldn't be able give us your views on this forum that's for sure.

 

I don't want to start getting into trouble but you might reflect on the Thai monarchy which is so important here. Have a think about places of birth, education and residence and musical influence.

I hadn't really given it any thought but my wife works in civil government and the same rules probably apply there, at least when in uniform.

Let me get this right, because I hope I am mistaken, and I want to give you the benefit of the doubt here.

 

Are you saying you think women should not be allowed to wear trousers?

 

 

Some off topic deflection posts and the replies have been removed. 

Many occupations have dress codes. 

 

I'd have thought that a petition by a large number of affected persons plus a discrete and private approach to the Chief Justice would be better than going public like this.

So do we equate that if a woman wants to wear pants she must be a lesbian? What century are you from?

I'm surprised to see such backwards thinking in that century.
