webfact Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Thai PM says women in skimpy dress are like unwrapped candy BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand's blunt-speaking prime minister had some advice Tuesday for his country's young women: Don't dress too revealingly, or you will be shunned like a piece of toffee without its wrapper.Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha offered the observation to reporters as Thais prepared to kick off their traditional New Year celebration, known as Songkran. The holiday comes at the hottest time of the year and is best known for the enthusiastic splashing of water upon friends and strangers alike, a practice that sometimes takes on a sexual edge, including the molestation of women.Thailand's military government already had announced that it would try to discourage lewd behavior and dress as inappropriate for the country's culture."During Songkran, I ask that women wear proper clothes, Thai style, so they would look good and civilized," said Prayuth, who has two grown daughters. He said that in his opinion, women "are like toffee or candy," which people would not like to eat if already unwrapped.Prayuth went on to qualify his own advice, saying that some nicely wrapped candy will stay on the shelf for years no matter what.The prime minister, a former army commander, is best known for blasting his political opponents, but has controversially commented before about what he thinks is appropriate attire for women.Shortly after two young British tourists were murdered on a beach on the resort island of Koh Tao — the woman was also raped — Prayuth wondered aloud whether tourists wearing bikinis were courting danger."This has always been a problem ... they think our country is beautiful and safe and they can do whatever they want, wear bikinis wherever they like. I'm asking if they wear bikinis in Thailand, will they be safe? Only if they are not beautiful," he said in September 2014, after the deaths of David Miller and Hannah Witheridge. He apologized shortly afterward, saying he only meant to warn tourists to be careful.Prayuth's latest remarks drew criticism from Usa Lertsrisantat, director of the Foundation for Women, who said he should use his influential position to speak in a more helpful way."He should be sending a message to people who do not respect women's rights as well," she said. "He warns women not to wear revealing clothes, and he should warn men to respect women's rights, too. Women are not toffees or candies, we are human beings.""When something bad happens, you can't just say that it happened because of how women dress," she said.-- (c) Associated Press 2016-04-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipperylobster Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) I will take two of those.. unwrapped ones.... Best and cheapest candy I had, when I was a kid, were the unwrapped sweeties in the glass jar. At least they were not a box of chocolates....as you never know what you're going to get.

JayBird Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 There is a difference between a burka and a G-string I *think* he leans more towards the 'short shorts & t-shirt' are okey but if he can see she's shaved then that's too revealing ON the flip side, I do like my candy unwrapped... saves time... makes it easier to eat two or three at once.... maybe not the best of analogies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reigntax Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 And according to the PM all good men come dressed in khaki which by definition is dullish brown yellow in colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laolover88 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) It is a question of occasion. I am proud of my wife when she is dressed like a princess in public. In bed I prefer her unwrapping and then unwrapped. I never saw a Thai maiden in a Bikini. Did you?. Do they even sell them at Central or Bobae? Most Lao/Issan people prefer bathing fully dressed in jeans and T shirts. Wonder what the PM would look like in one? Of course to give him his due he is concerned to promote the Thai packaging industry which is well known worldwide for wrapping products in such a way they cannot be unwrapped without serious metal, if at all..

Somtamnication Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I have to agree with the PM. Sometimes they remind me of an unwrapped snickers bar. Other times like white chocolate and sometimes they smell like unwrapped fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhizBang Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Oh my God, what a complete moron. My mother used to tell me that children should be seen, but not heard. This appies to Prayut, in spades. This man should try coming up to the standards of at least the latter part of the 20th century. He can work on arriving in the 21st century later. He actually sets a fine example of everything that is wrong with this society that thinks women are second class citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
