Dating in South Korea is rough in general, more than other Asian countries. Apparently it’s devolved into a violent culture war. On one hand, it’s no wonder women are unwilling to date. On the other hand, that’s going to further fuel desperation and therefore extremist sentiment in men and further the downward spiral of the culture war.
I’m not saying that the male position is right here, but I genuinely do not see a possibility that the culture war stops spiraling
I mean i agree that this culture war is not gonna stop anytime soon, but please dont blame the victims, its not their fault that this is spiraling out of control, nobody own incels a date. Its not the current protest that are adding fuel to the fire, its the incapability of theses men to accept no for an answer.
Women lose the ability to have a career as soon as there’s a hint of a boyfriend. Employers check. They’re expected to become mothers, and dedicate their life to taking care of their children, husband and household, while not really having any say in it.
Is this prevalent in Korea too? I had always heard it was more of a Japanese cultural issue, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was present in other countries in the region/world.
I wonder what protections they have. Japan has been fighting a similar thing and upping protections and their enforcement, but it’s still not where it needs to be.

And as a woman I can’t see any reason to stop being so firm. It’s very reminiscent of actual strikes
I’ve heard about the recent movement, but have no idea what the backstory is. Why are women so upset in south Korea?

It’s even worse than that. There’s a lot of sexual harassment and a plague of men taking upskirt photos.

It’s even more of an issue in Korea these days.
That’s horrible , this mentality is horrible for everyone, hope that end soon
