A South Korean lawmaker has come under fire for her outfit. The look in question? A red and white shirt dress. Ryu Ho-jeong said that she had worn the dress to 'shatter the tradition' of lawmakers wearing suits

The look in question? A red and white shirt dress.Not long after lawmaker Ryu Ho-jeong wore the dress to South Korea's legislative assembly on Tuesday, social media was flooded with misogynistic comments about her outfit, demonstrating something of the sexism that female politicians in the country can face.

"We cannot agree at all with the voice that paints a female politician as lacking qualification by evaluating her look and image rather than her legislative work," the party said in a statement."Women lawmakers are still becoming targets of discussion for wearing pants, or choosing a bright-colored outfit. We express regret at today's reality in the National Assembly where overbearingly screaming at one another has become natural, while wearing a dress is considered an issue.
