Popular Post mike123ca Posted March 8, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2013 I'll believe it when my wife can sign for my marriage visa and it will have the exact same requirements as to when a Thai man signs for his wife's marriage visa. Until then, Thai women will always be a 2nd class citizens in their own country. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yes. Will this mean that a Thai Woman with a foreign Husband will have the same rights as a Thai Man with a foreign Wife. I have my doubts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbamboo Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Fine words from the lovely Ms Yingluck but at risk of striking a boring, pragmatic note I'd like to ask her exactly how she will eliminate discrimination against women in Thai society? It's a pretty big ask. Edited March 8, 2013 by bigbamboo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimay1 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 What a crock of shit. If she is serious she can start by seeing that the uni lecturer is fired for slaping the two women around because he wanted to drive his Benz up the soi. Plus the guy that slapped the office worker for not signing the document that she thought was inappropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

me313 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Hope it's the beginning of great change in Thailand. The first response is to rebuke what she wants to do, since it seems impossible. You have to get rid of the hateful exploitative Nazi foreigners who act like Imperialist exploiters, who the Thai people of both genders bow down to and serve and obey, as they help Nazis carve out their luxury niches here in Thailand while the children and young women get exploited but feel lucky to have nicer living conditions. If you can try to change Thailand and rid it of this stinking rotting carcass of exploitation that Thai economy feeds off, creating a rotten society of desperate prostitutes and people-for-sale cheap, then you will begin to stop the endless discrimination against women in this society which is supported by all of Thai society, since they don't have many other opportunities in many parts of Thailand except to sell women at cheap and low prices. Good luck, I hope she will bring about positive change and I just offered an outline for a very bad area of exploitation that continues this oppression of women, which the women happily participate in and continue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markaew Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Grandiose would explain this OP. This PM only thinks about grand gestures and hollow I may add. Yingluck, get down to the details and maybe you can accomplish something. Probably cannot but that's expected. very Obamaish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markaew Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 OMG! Yingluck, is this the problem you need to solve today? Yingluck is like a rock skipping across the surface of a pond.

CobraSnakeNecktie Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 It's a good sentiment to change how women are treated but seems an uphill battle since the govt can't seem to get people to drive on the right side of the road or to stop burning things that pollute the air. Or clamp down on corruption or solve the southern crisis. Could Thailand become the hub of Women's rights? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbrooks Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I am confused, she said that women continue to be a victim of violence and then promises she will eliminate discrimination against women? This are definitely two separate issues. Maybe she will do it in true Thaksin style. Line up the wife beaters and then just kill them in a massive 3 month raid.

rubl Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 We vow, but please give us some time? Probably not on the list of policies to be implemented the first year. Mind you I vaguely remember some 'mission accomplished' messages regarding women financial funds. Not to be worried about, hardly a handful, less than 10 billion Baht I think.

super22k Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 In the past, and maybe still now,women(worldwide)used to slap mens faces.It was often seen and heard (ouch!)in public and on films. Surely this is a violent attack on men. Should these violent women now be prosecuted? If a man even touches a woman he has charges of assult brought against him.What about charging women for slapping faces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
