rubl Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 One may be excused to wonder why a previous Prime Minister who was really into equal right for women and dignity for women, didn't notice this issue. Probably to many other things to do Isn't part of women's rights to be able to wear what ever they like. If Yingluk had of banned the mini skirt to would have been attacked by many women's groups. The mini skirt has been around for 60 years it's nothing new. Maybe prayuth can add the mini to the bikini guide lines, only to be worn by fat ugly chicks. The tendency to use sexy females to help promote selling, business, profits is of course to be left to the private sector to be regulated. Maybe the PM should led himself be guided by the example of the United States. 70sh: http://www.retrospace.org/2010/01/mini-skirt-monday-31-minis-on-tv.html 10 years ago: http://www.parentstv.org/ptc/facts/mediafacts.asp today: ???

Probably to many other things to do I try to avoid the submissive men posting pro military here usually , but really switching this Generals narrow minded early 20th century views back on YS is just too audacious to let go without clarification.YS is not a woman who might approve of woman being perceived as sexualised , but she isn't a prude either. But more important she recognised it was not her role to censor people or programming on TV where matters minor like this exist. It's really amusing a military man object to attractive woman in skirts. Ok ...what would you think if he started intervening and went further . Say he said he wanted to rid the Kingdom of homosexual foreign expats and tried to justify it by linking it to pedophiles .? We all know its not . But this is a general who links rape with bikinis and has shown himself to hold views that are not in keeping with modern times. What I am saying is your blind faith is crossing over to a point of ridiculous pandering some might question.? It is your right ( which I respect ) to hold strong political views but ""absolute " rule and censorship and strict controls on gatherings , freedoms , and threat , do not hold dear to the average person...( including Thais) and no amount of make believe can alter that. YS is not hiding and living her life as a coward and submissive to a government non elected and run by military.....and if the show is canned it's just indicative of one less freedom of expression that all people should be concerned about Just wondering how you got to "Yingluck not hiding" in this particular topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a tendency to use sex to sell because sex sells -- be it beautiful girls or guys that are not your average guy. What you are basically saying is that women are weak and need special protections because they are not able to make their own decisions. What I believe is freedom for people to make their own choices -- good or bad. Focus on things that are important, opening doors that allow people to succeed (i.e. education etc.). Miniskirts are not keeping women from being police, it is not stopping them from joining the military, nor are miniskirts stopping women from continuing education. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But "hiding"" takes on many meanings . As I said earlier would you be so quick to support his moral crusade if went after minorities ? You seem colourful and perhaps might be fall into his viewpoint of people not quite military standard of "quality expat" I hope I haven't misjudged you , but I wonder who would blindly support this guy? A Stockholm Syndrome suffer ?.....perhaps . I am not suggesting spending a great portion of your time talking politics or stoking debate is a merry little past time for you to water down. But seriously , you have really gotten a bit silly of late justifying what most of us see ( along with the western international community) to be a man who is highly questionable in both ethics and his own morality . I mean is it not immoral to threaten execution on the press? Forbid freedoms in countless other ways ? Increase power to "absolute"? Are you not just slightly uncomfortable placing yourself in front of this man , bending over backwards to defend him?

Sviss Geez Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Getting rid of miniskirts everywhere in Thailand should be one of the most urgent reforms that Thailand needs. The General ...sorry, I mean the Prime Minister is absolutely right! Miniskirts will only deepen the divide in Thailand. Didn't he say last time that the British girl in Koh Tao was raped because she was wearing a bikini? Or something like that. No. he didn't say that. Some members of a Thailand forum did say that he did though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably to many other things to do So according to you a woman that wears a miniskirt has no dignity? No PM has the right to tell people what they must wear that is called individual choice which is part of individual freedom which is part of democracy.

Slowly (not really) moving the country backwards!! 12 core values Moral council and now, mini-skirts!! Maybe PM Prayut should try to see things in the right perspective ? 1425838888541847_a602x602.jpg Maybe you should post things in the right perspective and try to find a similar photo posed by Thais in Thailand.

StefanBBK Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I am sure some kind of self censorship is needed. Difficult part is to decide where the borders are. Western standards cannot be applied. Well even Western standards differ from country to country. Nudity OK or not? Brutality OK or not? I would believe this is for the Thai society to decide. This should not be purely based on Majority opinions. If it disturbs many locals, which I doubt by the way mini skirts do, it should not been shown. Some older Thais may have a hard time understanding that moral standards have changed. I think the PM should have other priorities right now. How about truly equal rights for women, in constitution and law? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nahkit Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Here we go ladies and gents, back to the 50's. Some of you wanted this, be careful what you wish for. I doubt if very many TV members have any experience of what Thailand was like in the 50's, myself included. I would suggest that what people wished for last year was an end to the daily protests in Bangkok and to see the country return to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about truly equal rights for women, in constitution and law? The real issue is does he even have the right to impose his will into this area? And if so , on what bases? Ok your side of the coin addresses sensibilities of older Thais ....but the show isn't for older Thais . Nor is it mainstream TV it's a show late at night and fairly tame. By our standards . Tongue in cheek gags. Really were this guy so interested in morality would not the 50 feet high billboards advertising everything from cars to brothels on freeways using images not be removed where woman being used in flimsy attire is concerned? What about neon signs outside establishments ? And the very core of this hypocrisy , what's inside them. He could act on them .( he may well ) However , in reality this is just smoke and mirrors and designed for the older Thais to say "" isn't he righteous " In short it's more spin. Sits well with his hand book on good Thais "think and say as I do." And don't say otherwise or you might get shot Edited March 30, 2015 by Plutojames88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
