Angelina Visits Cambodia

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Really?
I think it’s a lot worse out there in the real world in Cambodia, both locals and expats.

It’s bad but at least it’s worse for women offline! Sad but true

Well, yes, of course, you could find worse behavior in the world toward women - this a virtual space. But I think you're being somewhat disingenuous if you can honestly say the comments on this forum pertaining to women are anything but chauvinistic at best most of the time.

Weren't you just making fun of a woman's breasts after her mastectomy?

Edited to ad: And just because there are worse examples of something doesn't justify the behavior or make it any better.

Edited again because spelling is hard.

I should wear a hidden camera for a week, you'd be shocked at some of the things men say to me.
I get sworn at and called names for no other reason except I am a woman. I think I represent something that men have left behind, or they assume they know me, but whatever it is - you've got to have massive balls to be a single woman in Cambodia.

Isn't that Thailand?

I've seen several movie actors and pop singers in real life. Most of them are much shorter than one would expect. This kind of "surprised expectation" is a kind of psychological optical illusion, there being no other term for it...

No, I wasn’t making fun of her mastectomy, you’re confused. It was a joke about bees and tits.
You seem to know nothing about what she had done because if you did you know she got a boob job (or whatever it’s called, breast augmentation?) after.

I said she was fit and she is. Beautiful in fact. On my top five list of women I’d never ever meet or stand a chance but if I did she’d be number 3, Margot Robbie is 2.

Interesting. Is that in Cambodia or just anywhere and are your female friends subject to the same abuse?

Women love to pretend that only shallow men engage in this type of banter, but it’s not true at all.

My friend works in the restaurant industry, among a troop of female waitresses, and he says that all they talk about is dick sizes and other shortcomings of the men they sleep with, or just happen to interact with.

I only experienced it once. An Aussie guy.
Granted I’ve only had about 4 years in Cambodia in total.
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.
