Kind of discouraging. I wouldn't have thought it in South Korea.
Harsh Backlash Meets Feminists in South Korea
The New Political Cry in South Korea: ‘Out With Man Haters’
“We don’t hate women, and we don’t oppose elevating their rights,” said Bae In-kyu, 31, the head of Man on Solidarity, one of the country’s most active anti-feminist groups. “But feminists are a social evil.” https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/curr...ss-t34443.html

Well South Korea has free speech, and this guy has a right to post his nonsense, as much as people have a right to criticize his views (as they should be criticized). I would be more disturbed if his words were outright censored by the cancel culture that currently exists in other societies.
I agree that (radical) feminism is like a mental illness and is against human nature. I believe that men and women are biologically different and have different roles in society.
And here I thought it was just America with a burgeoning gender war. I guess S Korea is really Westernized. I approach the anti-feminism crowd with some level of skepticism. I believe some of their arguments are legit, but most of the ones I meet just seem angry because they can't get girls and assume if things returned to how they were in 1950, they would have more success. Sad really. I think the world would be better if people just remembered that "people aren't against you, merely just for themselves." and don't let the extremes define your reality.
In total, there have been 13 women in political leadership of their country across Asia. Astoundingly, only one – Tsai Ing-Wen, the current president of the Republic of China (Taiwan) – has little to no connection to an enduring political dynasty. Asia’s political pedigrees can be traced across the region, ranging from the Sukarno dynasty in Indonesia, to the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty in India, and the Aquino dynasty in the Philippines. These historical lineages, deemed by some as modern incarnations of medieval houses, have in numerous cases propelled female leaders to the highest levels of political power.
Often, the dynasty is built upon a martyr. The Philippines’ first female president Corazon Aquino was the widow of assassinated senator Benigno Aquino Jr, and Park Geun-Hye of South Korea is the daughter of assassinated military dictator Park Chung Hee. In other cases, female leaders are in fact the daughters of “founding fathers” of their respective countries. Megawati Sukarnoutri of Indonesia, Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar, and Sheikh Hasina Wajed of Bangladesh are all examples of such women. There is no dispute that these women have dedicated their time and energies to political office, however it is highly likely that their legitimacy while in office relied heavily upon the legacy, prowess, and political support base of their male relatives.
Anyway, Korea's misogynistic candidate won. Ew. But at least he's anti-China lol.

Why not? South Koreans are among the most conservative, misogynistic people out there.
