I was doing some research on this subject and stumbled upon some interesting terms regarding the ideal gender images: Kulasatrii (ideal thai woman) and Chaai Chaatrii (ideal masculinity), which after some reading doesnt sound so different to the western ideals on the same subject DESU so I was thinking maybe these concepts were interpreted/westernized for the paper (not to mention it's kinda old, 2004).
So, anybody from or living in Thailand care to chip in and discuss if these gende ideals are still as prevalent in Thai culture as the articles make it sound, or maybe they are rather obsolete terms?
