The Causes and Consequences of Hegemonic Masculinity and Dominance in Thailand

Abstract

Women across the globe make up at least half of all populations or 2.5 to 3 billion persons yet they own lessthan 10% of all wealth. This is also the case for Thailand. The arguments in the post-feminist movement raised byGiffort, Hawkesworth, Tomalin, Chatterjee, McClintock and others clearly show that many communities of womenespecially in the Third World such as Thailand continue to depend on hegemonic masculine strategies eitherdirectly or indirectly.
