are everywhere in South Korean film and television. In “The Handmaiden”, a film by Park Chan-wook, two women team up to take revenge on their male tormentors and eventually elope as a couple. “Crash-landing On You”, a television series that had the country glued to its screens this year, features aheiress who cuts ties with her family to set up her own business and ends up romancing a North Korean pianist.
Jung Se-young and Baeck Hana, two twenty-something women who live on their own in Seoul, are a case in point. Last year they set up a YouTube channel about single living after meeting at a feminist discussion group. They regale their 40,000 subscribers and tens of thousands more casual viewers with tales of blissful holidays free of the obligation to cook for a roomful of male family members.
Ms Kim says she only realised she had not been at fault when she met Yang Ji-hye, a bubbly 22-year-old who heads up a group of young women battling sexism in schools. To Ms Yang, a big part of the problem is a lack of education about sex and equality. “Sex among teenagers is considered taboo, and not being able to talk freely about it gives people unrealistic expectations.
So a lack of affordable child care is probably not the main reason why Korean women languish in the job market. The average woman still makes two-thirds of the salary of the average man and is given fewer opportunities to advance. Informal arrangements to limit the number of female employees persist in some companies; several banks were recently fined for illegally changing the test scores of job candidates to ensure more men were hired.
That’s a shame. Their choice but my wife claims they are “her boys”. Kind of a special sentiment.
This seems to be aligned to the global norms where women choose to not get married or have children and fight against gender inequality and harassment. MeToo
They want to end the Korean people altogether. Soon only North Korea will remain. The north won in the end.
Which is necessary all over the world.
Yeah. female right is a good thing… Good luck, South Korea.. Care the fire fall back on yourself.
Lowest birth rate in the world. Economic opportunity, high cost of living, education, health care, and human rights have that effect on a population.
I would like to see our activism be even half of that of South Korea... then we would see some changes in governance. accountability changenow askformore wecandobwtter
Amen sisters.
Wise & appropriate! We’re overpopulated anyway. Why do something that will strengthen the monopoly on power that men have in most societies? The day raising children becomes an option for males & females and not only an obligation for women, then, it would be wise to marry.
Force China to close their fucking markets and STOP farming/ trading fucking BATS! No consequences to China?
More then 50% of Korean women says that they are not getting married nor have children..
South Korean women appear to be following female US citizens.
That's because Korean men don't practice procreationism.
i think, ıts very good news for your owners ha Because they dont want and support marriage system. i am waiting to time when they offer 'ordered child' for ppl
How bad is the mysoginy. Must be very bad. Destroying future of their nation by this. Maybe a canary in coal mine for ea st Asian cultures tho. Notable.
Good. Society is an asshole. Both here and there but for different reasons. Fcuk society.
I’m sure the Exonomist is fucking jazzed
And only men commenting in this tread...
Whatever happened to being equal partners?
the N room in south korea shocked everyone....
Women want to be able to freely express their sexuality, but they don't like it when men express theirs. Oh well.
WOW - when you have a RESPONSIBLE Govt who reacts to the warnings - this is what people can do! Why - because they CAN!
Probably not the best time to do so. Considering there were 91 cases were Covid19 showed up again
The timing tho.....😕
Everyone should be free from sexual harassment. That said, this seems like the wrong time to gather in the streets.
Don't think SleepyJoeBiden will be going to South Korea any time soon...
What a misleading article conservatives don’t hold anybody back. So stop lying.
