Without a warning, bubbles surrounded me, blinding me completely for a moment. When they simmered down,I saw that I was nearly almost all alone. Family discussion over.
Theythink the royal familywants tokeep a lid on frank discussion, at leastuntil the 81-year-oldKingBhumibol hands overto his likely successor, theunpopularcrown prince, Maha Vajiralongkorn.
When there is so much negative discussionover a woman choosing to have a career and a family, we are sending a shameful message at a time when we should be encouraging women instead of discouraging them.
