webfact Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 By Natcha Patanasophon A cartoon illustration has caused heated debate over sexual harassment and victim blaming in the workplace. It all started when a hugely popular Facebook account under the name, “Contrast,” posted a new illustration this week. Contrast is a digital content creator who delivers social stories with different perspectives. The account shares comic-like cartoon drawings that compare people’s different perspectives to any given situation with an edgy twist for effect. The viral illustration shows two women who were both sexually harassed over the phone. The first woman was shamed for “provoking sexual harassment” as she is depicted wearing revealing clothes. The other woman was supported by her colleagues as they felt empathy for her because she wore modest clothing.

Popular Post Enzian Posted February 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2022 For an intelligent man, a woman wearing revealing clothes is simply an amusing statement about human nature and the necessary perpetuation of the species. For an unintelligent man it is something else, and therein lies the problem because there are a lot of idiots. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 It's more cultural than about "intelligence", whatever that is. thailand is about 100 years behind in many respects. And moving farther back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangkokReady Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) There's no excuse for verbal or physical harassment, but even men will be treated differently because of their clothing. You cannot complain if you are treated differently (within the law) if you are dressed more provocatively. There are no excuses for harassing, groping, raping etc., anyone, but you can't just do whatever you want and expect no reaction at all. The problem is that women are generally passive in dating and relationships and men are active. So men pursue women because they have to. This can cause problems where men end up pursuing women who they think are more "available" than they actually are. Life is complicated, relationships even more so.

I've found sitting in a bar and letting women approach me solves all those problems. I've been completely passive in 'dating' since 2010. Asia is different, and the women aren't passive.

Just as western teenage girls are forced/manipulated/ influenced into wearing provocative, revealing clothes. Societal pressure operates in different ways in different cultures. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can't be taken away from him it is a title signifying his relationship to the Queen. However all his appointed titles have been stripped from him (Colonel in chief etc.). Apparently he is a very arrogant man who revels in his status as a prince of the realm and pushes it in other peoples faces.

It was popular with Europeans. As you say, it was not attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
