  • House Speaker Mike Johnson (R, La.) claimed: “Democrats in New York City have chosen a true extremist and Marxist, and the consequences will be felt across our entire nation.” Johnson posted on X that “Zohran Mamdani’s election cements the Democrat Party’s transformation to a radical, big-government socialist party,” and that while “Mamdani’s extreme agenda is the future of the Democrat Party,” the GOP “will never allow it to be the future of America.”

    7/23/2019 he didn’t vote on H.Res. 246, which passed - H.Res. 246 - Opposing Global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement targeting Israel


  • But women are already suffering from menstruation pain and taking time off, this would just allow them to be paid. Companies that are already male dominated are obviously already discriminating and don’t need any tools to do so… Male dominated management can already suggest that women aren’t suitable for higher level roles because they are unpredictable (that’s not true), and they can already claim they are physically less capable so I’m not sure what your point is. I haven’t worked in Thailand because I’ve never had a visa that allowed working. Not sure what your experience is. Maybe look at Johnny Cash’s links that show that Thailand is top 3 in the world for women in executive rolls.

    Your statement “Very on brand for modern conservative south-east asian country. You can appear to be accommodating to women while actually building barriers.” implies that the purpose of this change is actually to build barriers for women, which isn’t true. It’s obvious that the purpose is to help women- do you have any proof of your claim?

    You’re really focused on corporate executive roles but you know most women don’t have jobs like that.

    I would like to see initiatives like these in more countries. I think it sets a good example and it shows they are doing many things right.
