The obsession with teen girls by men in general is a global disgrace... ๐
I think you misunderstood my reference about Khon Kaen - there are surely prostitute and bar girls in every village, that's true. But the reference was to the very much larger representation of Khon Kaen girls in Bangkok being likely related to the choice to make this virtual model from Khon Kaen.
My opinion of western males comes from 20 years here of helping to find jobs for girls and ladyboys they've discarded, taking female Thai staff to STD clinics and just from pure observation. I get it that my view may make other western men uncomfortable. They're not ALL like that, but definitely the majority.
The question is not whether Thais want to change, but whether MEN want to change. I think. ๐
What's needed is a massive change in mindset and cultural values regarding gender...
Nailed it. Appreciate the detailed response. ๐ฟ
