But if they do that, they need to ask the hard hitting questions and not lob them a freebie. Most questions and responses are too safe and pc that it’s boring and predictable. You need to hit radical with radical lol.
These interviews can almost never represent Koreans' honest opinions, because they will not tell you that while showing their face. Asian Boss should consider anonymous interviews in these types of controversial topics, it would give us a much better insight, in my opinion.
You guys have no idea what south korean radical feminism movement 1.White supremacy : this is not lie, They always praise white man so call "갓양남" God western man and despise Asians 2.Hatred on minority and transgender : They hate minority groups of foreigners group, and they really hate transgender quote "They are not real women, so he can't be in women's college (They actually kicked out transwoman ) 3.'Feminism movement' that ironically want patriarchy : They don't want to be in the job or work, they mostly want man / government take care of them. Money, House, food, even chores in the house all belong to man's job and they despise impregnation/ giving birth.
@Isaac Smith check the Gender Inequality Index and WEF's gender gap index. Simply facts and something well talked about. No need to be a white knight for Japanese people lmao.
Korean men are obliged to serve in the military for two years at the age of 20-24. They have to give up their youth for two years while receiving $1.75 an hour (Korean minimum hourly wage is $7.63). It is difficult to find a job after going to the military because women who did not go to the military are fully prepared for employment.
You know what's funny? Megalia was small community disbanded years ago and they never have been majority. Korean men used them to generalize feminism as bad thing and demonize feminism Their symbol(the hand sign) have never been also a problem in any ads or posts before but a Korean men community(fmkorea) started insisting that's sign of man hatred symbol from May 2021 and attacked every companies using those signs since then. One man in the vid said like "Men didnt really care before but some women started using it so it became problem" and it is not true, since women didn't use those signs to symbolize their genitals before men started making it a problem from may 2021. They made it a hatred symbol bcuz they want to one day.
@@elluise14 No. They use real evidence and what is actually happening after the president Moon was elected to target what happened in the past that made the current president popular even among young men 4 years ago. Funny how tides have turned all thanks to the effort of the current stupid government.
@@elluise14 Radical feminist right here. Megalian when first launched was brimming with tons of traffic so stfu. They were pedestaling the radical feminist movement and that hand sign was their logo with malicious symbolism since 2015. They were doing what you are doing: creating false news and spreading it all over the place and demonizing men. At first the men endured the attack but eventually there was tremendous backlash with all that hate towards men. Feminism was practiced and represented as Megalia for almost 3years and naturally that website disbanded. There are still MULTIPLE websites that share these radical feminism views like Women’sEra(여성시대) consisting of 800,000 active members today, so cut out the whole ‘never been majority’ bs.

Super interesting topic and I would love to see more follow up. Recently one of my male Korean friends became heated talking about "crazy Korean feminists" and I was really shocked. The people interviewed were quite tame compared to the things my friend was saying. Interview more people - I think there is more meat to this topic that you haven't uncovered.
Yeah lmao no point, absolutely no one is going to say what they really think regarding this issue on camera. Anyone who would is a extremist in a unique situation who would not be a good counterbalance.
Because Korean men consider any feminist a radical crazy feminist. They're quite upset that they're no longer allowed to oppress women, so any woman who speaks up for themselves is now considered radical.
@@yemack so why are most women successful in japan then if "patriarchy" exists? Seiyuus, manga authors, actors, musicians, artists etc are just as successful as men if not more.
@@yemackof course there are careers where a specific gender excels at nothing to do with patriarchy like those in construction/hard labor where men are physically built for just like there are mostly women in the beauty / fashion industry but i dont hear you complaining. Thats a weak argument. but wheres your evidence? all claims with nothing to back it up. Why dont we ask the actual japanese in this thread?
@@yemack because im not making the claim you are and i just gave you evidence, do you want me to list all the successful japanese women because they are a ton, ill give you the biggest ones; japan's highest grossing movie of all time was made by a woman, megumi hayashibara is the highest paid seiyuu of all time, ayumi hamasaki is the best selling solo artist of all time, look it up and try using google. damn patriarchy youre doing a bad job oppressing all these successful women! do you want me to go on? your "evidence" is all hearsay from people who havent even been to japan while i gave you facts. also, you ignored when i gave you logical answers why one gender excels at some careers. nice. still waiting on that evidence so far you provided none.
I agree with that, equality & respect benefit everyone if that is reallt what it is. But honestly, I've never seen a radical feminist (& rarely a self identifying feminist) care about males equally to females other than lip service. It is usually "I onky care about women, i want males to support my cause and then will be willing to throw them under a bus." The issue of DV is a good example. Many feminists want to protect women only from domestic violence, & don't acknowledge or ignore the dact that false accusations in Custody disputes are getting very common and an easily abused special power. It is actually possible to protect everyone from DV, and equally treat false accusations (esp in Custody disputes) seriously. They are an easy way to gain money, power or custody. IMO feminists arw almost always Female-first & Gynocentric in practice, not gender equal, just like their name suggests- as opposed to what they claim about themselves. I kind used to be a male feminist, because i naively thought feminists wanted equality, as they often claim with words alone. I still agree with feminists on some things & some concerns, but would never trust them to not throw males under a bus if it helps them.
it's all because of the people that profit from that divide--anyone who makes money from holding the attention of others (mainly media and advertisers).
Korean feminists say like "Same work Same salary" but actually they don't. In korean government ministry, there are lots of female crew but no one do night duty. Also if male say "As female and male are same, we have to do same duty.", female say like "Stop misogyny! Female is weak so the male have to protect us. If you don't, you are misogynist. " Also lets take an example of police. ALMOST KOREAN FEMALE COPS DON'T / CAN'T ARREST THE CRIMINALS. That's because, feminists say "they are female, even they are cops so male have to protect female and if you don't you are misogynist". All korean policeman have to protect female police while fighting with criminals. Also there was a accident that female police shout like "Hey man!! Come on and catch him!!". Lots of people criticized the shortagr of that female police but feminists instigated like "All male who criticize this are misogynist". This is the truth of Korean Feminism.
@@User-q1w2e3r if they are expecting men to protect them and refuse to do their duties, they are incompetent for the job and clearly are not feminists. So check the definition of feminism again and stop calling them that. Also stop generalizing those women who work based on a video or limited media you have seen.
@@siren8624The is a massive difference between the dictionary definition and how feminists groups act in real life.They call themselves feminists and are widely recognised as feminists lol, what you expect people to call them. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they aren't feminists. There is no "real feminism", all you have to do is call yourself one. Would you accept this from any other group, oh any bad thing a conservative does doesn't make them a "real conservative".
We had a similar situation in Russia, there was an advertisement for Reebok with the inscription "do not sit on the needle of male approval, sit on a man's face" several years ago, there was a huge scandal and everyone I know discussed it, and even continue to discuss it now
Oops, am I the only one who found the tag line funny? 🤣 I mean I know many men who would love a woman to sit on their face! 😂😂 So I guess it’s sexualising women yet again, huh. Well, sex sells!
Where there is oppression, there is resistance 🙂🙂 This is about why feminism in Asia tend to be radical. In China, Japan and South Korea the patriarchy is serious, deep in the root of the culture. Those comments should blame the men supremacy before talking about radical feminism 😒😒
In fact, in America, they are Valery Solaris without a gun. How could people who try to justify a statement like "It's natural for men to be drafted into the military, meat shields talk a lot" are normal human beings apart from normal feminists? Unfortunately, more than 80% of Korean women are very positive about such a move. There is a reason why Korea has the lowest fertility rate. One of the reasons is things that are not mentioned in this video.
What I read is that Korea's mandatory military service for young men is at the crux of this resentment. The men who finish their 2 year military service and come back to workforce or academics feel that they're unfairly disadvantaged in relation to females who are not required to serve time in military and have gone on to advance in workforce or in academia
@@cheerupbaby7792 shut up, not everything revolves around feminism. The entire world does not share the same privileged lifestyle you do. There is something called the DMZ where an active military is needed to ensure safety against north korea. So what do you say, women should also be required to serve? If you actually decided to read the comment before you, the anger is directed towards feminists who want to abolish military bonuses for these men who serve. Grow up please, your thinking is pretty narrow-minded to say the least. The stance you take reeks of entitlement and ignorance. For you to group so many individuals under this one blanket term of "men" just because of shared biology is also ignorant, what about socioeconomic status, race, education, sexuality, etc? Half this world may be female, but a privileged woman like Kim Kardashian who was born rich will never have to experience a day in the life of the poor, which is why a woman coming from extreme poverty will share much more in common with a man in a similar situation rather than kim to which the only commonality is genitalia. This type of argument you use will never work because you should know by now that plenty of women put down other women. There's even a good chance your own mother is conservative leaning in matters like these.
@@cheerupbaby7792 The point is that women in Korea have more rights than men if anything, so this misandric cult spreading it's tendrils and making things even more unfair is basically rubbing salt in the wound.
The fact is : where are those asking for women's superioty? Legit never heard them, just others saying that feminists asking for equality or criticising patriarchal issues are in fact asking for superioty, when it obviously isn't the case here.
@@adeles328 Well, the thing is, they are not asking directly for "superiority", people like these (extremists) point at everything they can and define it as a "bad fruit" of a patriarchal system, taking to the point of assuming that, for example, if a man owns something (like a business) or is in a position of power and wealth (like an actor), they were somehow systemically handheld to be in that place, as if they didn't work for what they got or even, NEVER deserved it. You see the problem here? Feminists like these take cases where horrible man abused their power to diminish people that don't really deserve it. Ironically, that seams to be a trend when they address a situation, as you can see in the video.
@@Srevengel that never happened. You people love to invent the most ridiculous situations to support your ideologies of "bad feminism" instead of understanding what it's really about. If only you had the same attitudes when it comes to patriarchal agendas starting from centuries ago continuing until now then I guess the problem would never exist in the first place lol
What is being discussed in this video is indeed "radical feminism" and a modicum of research would find this out, far beyond the third wave feminism as what is known in the West.
I’m curious as to how much of those in this so-called feminist movement have been infiltrated from outside forces with ulterior motives and agendas. It wouldn’t be the first time foreigners use soft power to subtly spread their ideologies, indoctrination, and spark controversy/instability in foreign lands which then leads to societal and real world consequences.
@@uwu_senpai I am stating purely on the definition of feminism, which advocates for equality. There are many genuine ones out there who actually want gender equality, so don’t lump the genuine ones with the radical.
@@uwu_senpai That's ridiculous. Wanting equal voting rights for men and women = feminist, so is wanting women to have the right to work and men the right to raise kids, etc. What is sometimes called "radical feminist" could be more accurately described as anti-feminist and/or anti-male. Feminism is just a weird word. It's a form of egalitarianism that got its name from one of the two. It's not that different from principality & prince and princess. The -ess part is from French (like actress, lioness, etc) and modified the typical word. Feminism just takes female/feminine, but it means "egalitarianism for the sexes/genders".
I once had a really interesting conversation with a koran women with whom I learnt korean with and we talked about the whole feminism debate in korea- and honestly she told me she‘d be happy to have more women in feminism (be it radical or not, that’s a subjective question) bc then she‘d be less scared to actually stand up for herself and other women and the women in korea would finally be able to change the laws that surpress them Edit: something that surprises me (well, not rlly) is that there‘s such an outrage that these women (this „radical“ feminist group) are „attacking“ men and feeling that they are „superior“ to men when these two things used to be (and in some countries still more/less present) normal for women to just live with it and to cope with it
The flaw in that logic is that it fails to consider how it also might make their points taken less seriously. One bad apple spoils the rest, and then they'll all be bunched together and seen as people with irrational behaviour. It's not a good look. They already ruined the word feminism in the US
@@Rustyhound-Cartoons What usually happens in social movements is that the more radical side of a movement helps the more moderate to seem credible for the rest of society. Otherwise those deemed moderate would be seen as radical, since they would be the most revolutionary option. Remember that women asking for the right to vote used to be seen as crazy radical feminists.
'When two things used to be normal to women' - yes in the past. Claiming that current generation men should be punished for what the past men did. - definite civilization destroyer. Basic of civilization: only person who did bad thing is punished - not the person's sons.
I remember red velvet's irene getting sooo much hate for reading a feminist book (not a radical feminist one, just feminist). That's why i believe korean men are just way too sensetive.
Maybe they are upset because a famous idol is reading a feminist propaganda book and it’s encouraging young women to do they same which is poisoning society. Wasn’t that the girl who was all rude and nasty to her employees? Oppressed my ass that chick is a diva
@@TheKinghanzel someone’s mad, lol. You’re being very emotional right now, and we just can’t talk to you while you’re being this way. Come back when you’re ready to have a rational conversation. /s
@@TheKinghanzel "encouraging young women to do the same which is poisoning society" lol are you saying the book will make women think and get their own ideas? can't have women think for themselves or society will collapse lmao /sarcasm
@@exquis_ Maybe the point here is that the feminists of today are not the feminists that we used to know. The supposed to be a group fighting for equality are now turning into a misandric organization. Their movements are rampant on the west, and we know what they are right now; women who victimize themselves when equality hits them, using media as their platform to wage hate, shaming women who has a different idea to them, a bunch of people who can't comprehend logic when it comes to equality and equity. We need to understand that both men and women are destined to be corrupted. And it is not right to see that when men are becoming humane, women are doing the opposite and justifying their actions through feminism.
I think Koreans are more sensetive with gender issue because of men's mandatory military system. Those men assert that women should go to the military as well if they want genuine equity.
@@soggymoggytravels Lol, it has been proven that the book is not based on a true story. Just bunch of sensational stories weaved up to make the society look worse than it actually is. Kim Ji Young is far from being the voice of reason here. If anything, she wouldn't mind worsening the conflict for the sake of her narrative.
@@davekorus It's clear the KJB book is intended to be fiction and there was plenty of backlash from feminists when it was published in Korea, e.g., Korean IG stars that photographed themselves with the book were cancelled. It weaves statistical data into the narrative in order to point out one scenario for women born in Korea.
@@soggymoggytravels but that's exactly the thing, it shouldnt be used as a showcase scenario for Korean women, because the book is simply exaggerating and blowing things out of proportion.
For the last dude who was talking about how everything how everything should be "objective" and should not "benefit only women," made me worry. Especially in the case of "making sure even education about gender equality (or inequality) should be as objective as possible" is a little dangerous thinking in my opinion/experience. That's how you grow in the U.S. with half the country learning that the civil war was a complex issue about slavery, and the other half learning that "objectively" it was "just about states rights." No situation is just black and white and issues as complex as gender/race inequality cannot just be taught objectively. Particularly, when that "objective" pov is from that of the oppressor. I remember hearing about how this issue was really picking up in South Korea a few years ago and I still came away now thinking the same thing I did then - "equality always feels like oppression to the oppressor."
Weird way to frame how the U.S. learns about civil war era history. There's only one correct way to present the civil war era and that is as a complex issue that involves both state rights and human rights issues among other issues. Fortunately, that era ultimately won everyone the same human rights. Unfortunately, it tipped the power of the federal government as more supreme than that of the states. As far as I know, no one has ever been taught that the civil war was *just* about states rights but it does appear as if you think it was *just* about slavery. If something cannot be taught objectively, then it should be taught subjectively. And things that are subjective cannot be considered true until proven objectively. You're basically saying gender and race inequality issues aren't verifiable. I think many are overblown but even I wouldn't go that far. Not sure why you treat "objective" as if it's a bad word. Even more worrying is that you think objective thinking is dangerous thinking. You realize all scientific fields strive to be as objective as possible, right? Do you find science inherently dangerous, too? If a view is objective, it is true whether that view comes from an oppressor or not. You're statement shows you don't even understand what "objective" means. Here: expressing or dealing with facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations. You really need to do some thinking about how you view the world. You're striking me as someone who thinks they are educated but, in fact, have yet to learn to think critically.
@@Haylla2008 Firstly, woah, I was not expecting quite such an aggressive response and I think a few wires have been crossed here. When I was mentioning "objective" - I was meaning in the way it is often used to white wash history and gloss over the very real events/life experiences of the people involved. Secondly, I would never say/insinuate there is no fact based truly objective evidence of gender/race inequalities because that is just factually untrue. In an ideal world "objective" should mean exactly what it does, but it is rarely used in that way when it comes to educating people about "unpleasant" but extremely important history. Especially, considering history is written by the winners. Thirdly, growing up in Texas in the U.S. - yes, a lot of education here (in my experience) about the Civil War paints it in a very specific light as conflict about states rights exclusively. Slavery surely was mentioned, but not being properly represented in the retelling as states rights. Fourthly, I think my view and trust of people in power/or in general is a little more on the pessimistic side, especially when I'm misinterpreted and they seemingly charge in to insult rather than educate/converse, but I am only soo cynical because I expect and hope for better. I have no problem with educating people on the facts, in a lot of cases that exclusively is preferred. Issues as complex as race/gender NEED to be taught with more nuance, because, if we're going just based on facts, racism must have ended the second after the Civil Rights Act (in the eyes of some people.) Which is obviously not true, but this is the kind of misinformation that can come about of maybe-not-so-well-meaning people advocating for exclusively "objective" education. Also, your statement of "fortunately that era ultimately won everyone the same rights," is just "objectively" wrong. I would venture to even say is wholly misinformed. If that were the case then Jim Crow and the Civil Rights Movement would not have existed. I understand feeling passionately, but insults are not necessary and introspection may be. If I am wrong on this I would very much like an explanation as to why I am, sans insults please. Sorry that was a lot to dump but I wanted to make myself clear.
@@TuxedoMasc "When I was mentioning "objective" - I was meaning in the way it is often used to white wash history and gloss over the very real events/life experiences of the people involved." That would be a subjective interpretation from the people who were in power at the time. If something is objective, it stays objective. You used the wrong word. Fair enough. "Secondly, I would never say/insinuate there is no fact based truly objective evidence of gender/race inequalities because that is just factually untrue." You did insinuate as such but I'll take it as an honest mistake/misspeak. "In an ideal world "objective" should mean exactly what it does, but it is rarely used in that way when it comes to educating people about "unpleasant" but extremely important history. Especially, considering history is written by the winners." No. Objective does mean exactly what it means. History is not an objective field of study. You said it yourself, it's written by the winners which means it is interpreted and sorted by people with a bias and there's no regulation of that bias until you get into the years of peer reviewed papers. It's a subjective field of study with some objective truths (i.e. slavery happened). "Issues as complex as race/gender NEED to be taught with more nuance, because, if we're going just based on facts, racism must have ended the second after the Civil Rights Act (in the eyes of some people.) " You act like race and gender are some unexplored monolith of complexity. They're barely worth studying in the first place but, even when studied, not that difficult to understand. Besides that, there are plenty of *facts* that point to racism not ending after the Civil Rights Act. Be honest (with yourself). You've never heard someone say racism ceased to exist after the Civil Rights Act. What you heard is someone say something along the lines of "we put laws in place to prevent discrimination" and you interpreted that to mean them denying the existence of current day racism. "Also, your statement of "fortunately that era ultimately won everyone the same rights," is just "objectively" wrong." No it isn't. Ultimately. Ultimately. Words are important. I use words the way they are meant to be used. And, really no aggression meant but, you clearly don't. That era and those events had to happen in order for other strides to be made *ultimately*. TLDR; You should have used "subjective" not "objective". Those words don't change meaning just because people misuse them. I imagine we disagree on how important race and gender actually are and almost certainly on whether it should be studied as intently as it is. We can agree to disagree on what an "aggressive response" is. My "insult" was an attempt at evoking introspection on your end. I have a plethora of it myself. No hard feelings. You responded maturely enough, which is more than most people can claim.
@@Haylla2008 I guess we can only agree to disagree. I truly wasn't saying that there is no fact based evidence of discrimination, because there is. And I'm not exactly sure why you don't believe me when I say that, but fine, can't change your perception. I do think think that gender and race are complex issues, the fact that we still have problems with them in almost every society to this day is evidence enough that we still haven't gotten it right after 200,000 years. So, yeah, I think it's kind of important and worth studying. You're use of the word "ultimately" IS incorrect b/c we still don't all have the same rights for everyone yet. So, therefore, wrong. (Though I'm sure you'll argue that's not true.) Also, the "misuse" of words. Firstly, language always involves intent and isn't black and white. I was talking about how people themselves misuse the word "objective." So, I'm not sure why you're (seemingly) willfully misunderstanding me. Secondly, "those words don't change meaning just b/c they misuse them." Language - like race/gender - is complex. This happens, and is well documented, in language all the time. That's how words that originally thought of as nonsense, "irregardless," become part of the dictionary. You are thinking to one dimensionally about language, but I guess that just my opinion. Though I agree in this case it's people, let's say "misrepresenting" the word "objective" rather than misusing. Though I'm sure I give a similar impression, in the regards to believing steadfastly I'm right, you seem to be someone who thinks a very binary and literal way. And I think that thinking doesn't serve well in regards to issues as complex as race/gender or language, but fine. Agree to disagree. Thank you for being civil with me - have a nice day.
From the thumbnail, I already knew what that hand sign means. And have never heard of this group of people. In certain parts of the world at least, it’s used as a insult. And means the same thing as this group is implying.
@@imrjvzoldyk1694 you need to distinguish between the basic, mandatory education on primary and secondary level, which is really really bad in the US and the university level which often is the opposite, as some of the best universities in the world are in the US. The USA is often a country of even "very good" or "very poor".
@@mattm4497 Dude, make it even more precise. A handful of universities in the U.S. attract foreign talents. The average immigrant from other nations aren't coming to the U.S. to get schooling from a community college, or a state college. Secondly, if they are, they probably have some sort of guarantee in their country on a job.
There’s no difference in feminism. It’s obviously ruining modern society and if you believe women are more happy now than they were in previous generations because of feminism then more power to the movement. However the statistics show that’s not the case and it’s quite sad men and women are more divided than ever before.
It’s the same argument W0men use against “Not all men” , you say that even if it’s “not all men” , men as a class harm us . Now flip the same “Not all fem1nists are radical”, but those who hurt men are radicals so men too are cautious about it
That's why there's a better word, EGALITARIAN. I get that in countries were women are really underprivileged, feminist should be a thing because, for a lack of better word, they need a lift. But for example, in the US women pretty much are the same under the law. So I don't think there's need for that word anymore because it's when the balance starts tilting instead of balancing.
Ikr, that was ridiculous. It was *their* perspective. Most people didn't see anything wrong with it until they pointed that out. Even if the logo stayed the same, as a girl it wouldn't offend me cause there's nothing to be offended over. Most radical feminists just need a reason to call out men and even women over their conduct for no damn reason.

It sounds like Korean right-ring men’s activists are successfully hijacking and rebranding what feminism is for the less informed masses. Similar hijacking occurs with other social movements. The far right rebranded Black Lives Matter (an anti police brutality movement) as lawless looters; they rebranded democratic socialism (the current systems of Canada and many Northern European countries) as the totalitarian regimes of Soviet Russia. Unfortunately in the US the common person is too uninformed to not fall prey to such tricks.
I didn't actually but one of the women said 'if they didn't ment that way then why they took it down.' Kinda agree to that also. Feminism was for equality but these type of news make it feel like they wanna oppress men.
and here indians are so proud about koreans. as though they are heavenly angels and wanted to visit their place and grant all support and love to them...k-pop and k-drama are far from reality and they never show and speak this. it's all effect of love(only) yourself....idiotic theme...
It sucks how Korean women now should be careful of eating their snacks by hand just because some men were pissed at a symbol used by an extremist group which they themselves give a body-shaming meaning to.
I can imagine at times some people veer into being anti-other rather that pro-self, like having the sentiment that they need to bring the other down rather than see themselves elevated. Though I guess they might argue the former is a prerequisite of the latter.
Not argument for men-hating. Please remember that the real feminism is the belief in the economic, social and political equality between sexes, which aims to stop stereotypes and injustice on the female group. Gender equality is not contradictory with the feminism and if we abandon the word of "feminism" and just use slogans like "rights equity", the very problem of girls will be disguised.
I think everywhere in the world we're fighting over some issues or the another and the end result is we're divided in many ways but we need to be united not divided. I agree with that girl in red, some organisations are not working for actual cause they're just fueling such issues world wide.
I looked up korean interviews with an influential "feminist" who wrote a book she wrote i believe called Corset, and it's just pure cringe. It's also got a very culty aspect to it, so I really don't get these westerners/koreaboos thinking that everything associated with feminism has to be inherently good.
Misandry isn't real. Where in the world are men being child brides, having acid thrown in their face, sold off, denied education, subject to a matriarchal society, having to bind their breasts, being forced into menstrual huts, etc. You think of misandry when women express unpleasant opinions about men.
Feminism means one thing to one person, another thing to another person. Like ‘God’. If a movement is working to deepen divisions, then it is working against the human spirit.
The sad truth is that every politician does this, especially in Sweden. So it's difficult to take any of them seriously and yes, it also increases what I think you were suppose to write, hostility.

I wonder if it's a thing to laugh about a woman's physique (chest, bottom, etc.) in South Korea amongst men or in advertising. If it is, well, this is just the equivalent from women or advertising. (I'm not a fan of body shaming, but it's important to recognize possible double standards.)
It is definitively a thing ! In online males communities that's one of the most common thing they do. Articles with women barely wearing clothes are often trending and trust me you would feel disgusted reading their comments
Some men do body shame women but I don't think it's ever in public advertisements that everyone can see because that's just going to lose money for the company who put out the ad. Body shaming women has come to a point in society where 99% of people agree that it is horrible. But bodyshaming men is still seen as a funny joke and if men where to speak up about it, they are called "too sensitive". Really just plays into the way that society expects men to be this stable emotionless tree that provides and takes anything positive or negative without any complaint.
Haha there was an online ad that was promoting a product that helps turn the color of female nipples to "pink". I grew up hearing Korean guys say "Black/brown nipples are such a turnoff/ugly." etc 😬
Yea typical men. They always talk degrading about women in their conversations, paint us as sex objects in their music, touch us without our permission, etc. and we're just supposed to sit down and take it. I don't really see a problem with it, and if ppl do have a problem they should just ignore it. You don't see me trying to take out the hip hop industry for basically painting us a sex objects, I just simply ignore it.
@@anm2x Honey have you seen the hip hop industry? they basically indirectly tell women you aren't good enough if you don't have huge boobs, big booty, etc. And not to mention advertisements only praise women with those body types.
To me, it seems this radical feminism has come about as a reaction to the repressive patriarchy. When I lived in Korea, I felt it was like living in the fifties: the gender roles I saw displayed in the media, my friends talking about how it seems the majority of men had affairs, the condemnation of single mothers and older unmarried women, et al. Maybe frustrations are bubbling to the surface?
idk it's stupid asf if they think things are gonna get better by calling men "bugs" and trying to brainwash children... they're not feminists they're terrorists and traitors
"Majority of men have affairs" Let me take a wild guess that was from a conversation with girls with no source whatsoever to back up. Basically a delusion at best.

That ad was clearly trying to gain attention by capitalizing on the controversy of the hand gesture/feminist logo. I disagree with the guy working in advertising, that wasn't a coincidence, it was planned, and who approved it knew what they were doing.
how to beat down ur enemy efficiently? split them up to two groups, then have them fighting each other nonstop who's laughing now? who's winning from this?
Who's winning you say? It' the current ruling party of South Korea- the Democratic Party and the Moon Jae In government. They gained a lot from the divide and conquer tactic.
I find this situation quite ridiculous, because Korea with a large gender inequality has insane unrealistic beauty standards for women, a woman weighing 60 kg is considered fat, and endure incredible pressure from society about their appearance, skin color, body, facial features.. But poor Korean men were offended with harmless advertising..
Fighting body shaming with body shaming. By doing so, you are also body shaming people who don't body shame, if they share a characteristic with people who do body shame.

I don't think that when men make fun of women's looks, the situation is ignored. In fact, topics about opression against women, bodyshaming women, and anything along those lines gain A LOT of attention in media. We were taught about this in school as well and I think that the general public would agree that these things are horrible. But if a men was to be bodyshamed, it still seen as a funny joke. This is one of the few times I see an men speaking out against body shaming against men and people are calling them "too sensitive".
@@anm2x Of course it should be called out (and that's the point of the video, no?) - but would the men who call it out also stand up for a woman and call out men who harass them or even if it's just locker-room talk make sure that he calls his mates out? Don't leave it to the media and schools to teach men - you have to hold each other accountable
@@bread3987 Not sure where my comment went but to answer your question, yes I have, plenty of times. from a very young age I had to listen to comments about my boobs. Men either make lewd comments about them or they insult my female friends about their "bee sting" boobs. I worked in a garage and there was constantly conversations about how women should look and how they shouldn't look and about their backsides and genitalia. And nobody but the other girls called them out. None of the men did. They all just participated or kept their mouths shut. Again, I am not for this tit for tat approach but can you understand now what it would feel like to a woman? Men find sexual innuendo and locker-room talk hilarious until someone makes comments about THEIR genitalia..Just saying... In Asia women are still expected to be demure while enduring some pretty horrible chit chat amongst guys making comments about their bodies
I used to live in the US, after seeing one of my peers get pressured into a occupation only because she was a female (OBGYN) I started voicing out as a Feminist. However when I came back to Korea, I realized feminisms here that took root are more of that of misandry. Most 'so called' feminists are not voicing out on equality but rather wanting to create a divide and gain privilege's. Unfortunately the true feminists are far low in number for many reasons. (1. Education, most radical feminists don't bother to educate themselves on most topics, its mostly yelling, if you tune in almost any talk or debate you can see that- One reason a public started viewing ALL feminists as idiots) 2. Image- due to the creation of a a radical feminist website all talks were shared within then released into the public. Among such talks were chats between members claiming "I want to stab my father since he's a male" "I scratched our neighbors car because he's a guy" "Wanting to just kill a random boy on the streets" "All males are potential criminals"- Now you see that's where I had to stop my support within Korea. As from those news I realized 'Feminism' doesn't or merely exists in Korea. Mostly angry, people who need society or males to blame cloak themselves in the guise of 'feminism' here. I see a lot of youtube comments hating on Koreans for this issue, but realize this is not a simple case like other parts of the world were 'feminism' is being hunted down for no reason. It's really extreme.
The word radical in "radical feminism" is wrongfully placed. It is not "radical" by any means. People really don't know what radical means. It rather destructive or not feminism at all.
@@ee-nk5sl Maybe because they claimed that they're feminists while being misandrist? Or maybe we can call them misandrist feminist instead of radical feminist. I don't know
Just the fact that the add was taken down by a Man's rights organizations shows how feminism is actually treated in Kr. In real life, no idol can even be seen with a feminist book or show support to women, they are immediatly bashed. Korea is really foward in some subjects, but concerning human rights they seem like they are 20 years back. Nowadays an LGBT person in a kdrama causes so much controversy, while in my country we had them 20 years ago or more.
its all economic. because employment is so hard, the korean men started to blame the feminists and the government. The deep reason behind this is that femists groups promote hiring more women in firms. Now, the korean men believe that's unfair and start to attack on those radical feminists.
Madonna famously said shes a Humanist, not a feminist. That aside, those that self label as Feminists in S.KOR demand handouts and special treatment because in their own words "women are weaker" which is opposite to how feminism was originally about "accept us for our actual capabilities". Those self labeling as feminists in S.KOR are anti-equality that cherry pick info, thats why that label is disliked.
It's very sad the term feminist was so twisted in Korea, and it's a fact that Korean women face so much sexism because their whole societal structure was built that way. There's so much work to do there, so I wish Korean women the best, because I'm a women and I do understand (hell even my male Friends understand or try to). This raaadical "feminism" is just an extreme response to extreme situations (they're trying to equate what men do to women, of course not all men). If more women are united, you can clean concepts.
Support gender equality at all cost in East Asia and protest against toxic masculinity . What 's wrong with women having equal right as men. Men have been taking advantage from gender inequality for a long time. It s time to change . The reason that men are afraid of women having the equal right because they are selfish and don't want to lost the advantage . If you care your mother or sister and don't want them to experience this , please support women right.
Then who had a advatage from gender inequality can give their properties to women. The young men here are afraid of being discriminated and repressed because we are men, not being selfish. In Korean societies, who really has vested interest, the middle aged men are supressing young men in the name of feminism, instead of giving their power to women.
in the philippines, we say 'men are trash' and guys would be saying not all men, but the thing is they are too many. men for centuries have been oppressing women so in our perspective, when we say 'man are trash' we know it's not all man, but the abuses and inequality we experienced is too severe that's why we call them out. and for women, we expect them to help us, to recognize the bad things their gender did to us, and help us fight the battle by correcting their fellows and not being an enabler or a standy or saying not all of them bc it hurts their ego to digest that fact. bc compared to your ego, the oppressive act we experienced is far more severe. i think we can only move forward if men will start recognizing what they did wrong and what kind of enabling their commiting if they continue to just not care at all.
I know your counrty is based on matriarchal society. The real and last goal of Korean feminist is making matriarchal country like Phillipines. Cause they strongly believe all power and abuse from men is rooted in *patriarchy system. But I wonder it just spoil men and accordingly men lose their responsibility and on top of that, this is not related with gender Equality when we see only two countries(🇵🇭 and 🇻🇳)who adopted matriarchal society in the world. Cause there's literally no one who say philippines and vietnam are more gender Equality society than that of korea or others. What do you think about it? If that system is really right, the rank of gender Equality of 🇵🇭 and 🇻🇳 should be #1, and #2. But the reality is not that great like you referred. And regarding public peace, korean men also worry about your country too. Really mean it!
@@타마른파스 i did not even brought up my country being matriarchal, and even so we still have lots of battles to fight for inequality and that was my main point. yes, we have the opportunities but when it comes to safety, we still have a long way to go. and no, it wouldn't take away mans responsibility, we work with them side by side. men weren't opressed with their rights just bc woman here get equal opportunities when it comes to socio-political aspects. And why are u guys so scared that women might overtake man?

Honestly radicalism in any field isn’t good because it often overshadows the cause you’re fighting for. However, I’ve seen a lot of posts online on some S korean men’s reactions to sexual assault/ women’s rights activists and their comments are scary there are many death threats and downplaying of women’s struggles. There really isn’t any middle ground and people aren’t willing to listen. Just the other day I saw a video on skorean men protesting feminism like fr get a job
Lol, the 🤏 emoji is actually pretty controversial in Korea - radical feminists use the hand sign to imply that Korean men have small penises. A whole bunch of advertisers had to pull adverts that inadvertently had the hand sign last year.
I'd love to know more about feminism in Korea. Different groups and perspectives. I don't know about this Megalian group, but I'd love to listen to their perspective to see if there's actually misandry or there's more. Also I'd love to listen to more feminists there and their complaints/views P.D: I really wish people knew what radical feminism is. It doesn't mean "extreme", it means "from the root". It's a philosophical-political issue, it's not about misandry. Please read a book or two on feminism. Like actual feminism written by philosophers, not by influencers or something like that, okay? Next time try to use proper terms if you're talking about sociopolitical issues. Thanks.
Megalian = just radical feminists and exactly actually misandry. You don't need to listen their perspective at all. I am Korean, I was born in Korea, I have grown in Korea, and you can trust me. They are extremely abnormal.
@@박경현-k5f Megalia was born out of the still existence of online korean male places spreading hate on women like ilbe and DC galleries. Clearly there's a missing perspective here. Radical feminists only exist because of those men's actions. Maybe put the blame on them first?

@@thefuckinglindohistorically, that’s false especially looking at comfort women. but in this modern world? yeah barely anything really. korea has one of the highest suicide rates in the world and most of them are from men
A long time ago, I wrote in the comment section from an SK magazine that I'm a feminist. I've got more than a hundred comments where I've been insulted, harassed even in my inbox by Korean men, being called trash, monkey, and the n-word. It's a real problem.... These men are insecure
I think this video really needed to clarify what "radical feminism" means in South Korea. Women KPop stars get blasted by SK men if they even mention the word "feminism," so "radical" for SK likely means something entirely different than it would in the US, UK, etc . . . it may even mean a woman daring to speak up against male oppression (which is alive and well in SK, unfortunately).
Thats because criticizing feminism gets that same response from haters PLUS biased treatment from the government, so theres a lot of salty men fed up with unfair treatment.
honestly if i were part of the radical feminist i would just point out how vulnerable the patriarchy masculinity and the facade of domination is for them to be offended so much, calling crazy feminist, just for a mere handsign. Im not saying i agree with how the radical feminist came to this resolve, i disagree with their way of advocacy, but their reason, backgrounds, all that can be a valid justification and can b understood. People are just always neglect the perspective of feminist just bcs feminist is minority. They arent even willing to understand.
@@Acidreflux0000 Are you living in some kind of alternate reality where women never hurt and disrespect men or other women? There is no justification for organized sexism.

Men on a huff about a finger gesture, yet there's virtually NO women's rights in Korea, and women are treated like trash for simply being a woman. Even in abuse cases, the justice courts of Korea blame the women as if they "asked for it" but say anything about a man and NO! That's where they wanna draw the line.. such a shame.
Asian boss should interview foreigners living in Korea about Korean issues. I think it would be nice to get a view of someone who is looking from the outside in.
The statistics are extremely controversial. Statistics do not compare same jobs. Korea is full of It tech and secondary industries but women's Science and engineering ratio is 20%.... Also in civil service, objective statistics show that men's working hours are significantly higher. 'Girls can do anything' plus 'Girls should do anything'. I hope
The gender wage disparity exists in part because of gender labor disparity. Statically, women work less in jobs of lesser pay. Lo and behold, they also earn less.
Yeah everyone already should know by now that the so called gender pay gap is a misleading statistic that doesn’t factor in the difference in jobs men and women choose. It’s like still believing screens cause vision loss or some other myth.
@@yasamineentesari6973 that's one factor behind it, but it's on individual women to choose to pursue stats. We can't force ppl into fields. The issue with the more "popular" feminist groups in korea is that their focus is more on misandry and developing cult-like environment (adherence to collective practices like shaving their heads, not wearing makeup, keeping to a certain dress code, etc)
It's sad that most korean men now think feminism=radical fiminism=misandry. They think there is no discrimination to women in korea, and rather men are discriminated in terms of only-male's military service etc, so feminism is unnecessary. But as a korean, I think they need to accept the fact that korea is (better than past but) still conservative, patriarchal society and feminism is not only for women but for both gender. And honestly I think korean men are so sensitive now

I think it’s because a lot of feminists (like a lot of human activists) want equality in the result not in the process. Also, a lot of them produced hate against men in the name of “mirroring”. I think people think that feminism values are contradicting. For example, feminism is about gender equality and that they say men and women are exactly the same. However, when it comes to jobs like police officers, fire fighters, soldier, etc. They say that we need to lower the bar for females so that more women can get in; I mean this is only a part of it. Also, a lot of Korean men think that western feminism is better, but umm…the West faces the same issue with feminism and the issue is rising each year (lots of people are starting to say “woke culture” is problematic). I personally think the concept of “men and women are exactly the same” is such an old topic. People actually think that that’s the knew topic, but it’s really very old; it’s been there for the last few decades. I think we should realize that, in general, men and women are different and try to understand each other, obviously we should also recognize the people who doesn’t fit in the norm, bc that’s also okay.
Guess Korea is now suffering from "developed countries syndrome" As much as I support equality I do believe that anything out of proportions is dangerous.
I hope they go back to the traditional feminism because doing something that will just hurt the pride of males as a symbol will make them less popular and effective with both men and women.

One man in the vid said like "Men didnt really care before but some women started using it so it became problem" and it is not true, since women didn't use those signs to symbolize their genitals before men started making it a problem from may 2021.

I agree with that, equality & respect benefit everyone if that is reallt what it is. But honestly, I've never seen a radical feminist (& rarely a self identifying feminist) care about males equally to females other than lip service.
It is usually "I onky care about women, i want males to support my cause and then will be willing to throw them under a bus."
The issue of DV is a good example. Many feminists want to protect women only from domestic violence, & don't acknowledge or ignore the dact that false accusations in Custody disputes are getting very common and an easily abused special power.
It is actually possible to protect everyone from DV, and equally treat false accusations (esp in Custody disputes) seriously. They are an easy way to gain money, power or custody.
IMO feminists arw almost always Female-first & Gynocentric in practice, not gender equal, just like their name suggests- as opposed to what they claim about themselves.
I kind used to be a male feminist, because i naively thought feminists wanted equality, as they often claim with words alone.
I still agree with feminists on some things & some concerns, but would never trust them to not throw males under a bus if it helps them.

Korean feminists say like "Same work Same salary" but actually they don't. In korean government ministry, there are lots of female crew but no one do night duty. Also if male say "As female and male are same, we have to do same duty.", female say like "Stop misogyny! Female is weak so the male have to protect us. If you don't, you are misogynist. " Also lets take an example of police. ALMOST KOREAN FEMALE COPS DON'T / CAN'T ARREST THE CRIMINALS. That's because, feminists say "they are female, even they are cops so male have to protect female and if you don't you are misogynist". All korean policeman have to protect female police while fighting with criminals. Also there was a accident that female police shout like "Hey man!! Come on and catch him!!".

In fact, in America, they are Valery Solaris without a gun. How could people who try to justify a statement like "It's natural for men to be drafted into the military, meat shields talk a lot" are normal human beings apart from normal feminists? Unfortunately, more than 80% of Korean women are very positive about such a move. There is a reason why Korea has the lowest fertility rate. One of the reasons is things that are not mentioned in this video.
What I read is that Korea's mandatory military service for young men is at the crux of this resentment. The men who finish their 2 year military service and come back to workforce or academics feel that they're unfairly disadvantaged in relation to females who are not required to serve time in military and have gone on to advance in workforce or in academia

If you actually decided to read the comment before you, the anger is directed towards feminists who want to abolish military bonuses for these men who serve. Grow up please, your thinking is pretty narrow-minded to say the least. The stance you take reeks of entitlement and ignorance. For you to group so many individuals under this one blanket term of "men" just because of shared biology is also ignorant, what about socioeconomic status, race, education, sexuality, etc? Half this world may be female, but a privileged woman like Kim Kardashian who was born rich will never have to experience a day in the life of the poor, which is why a woman coming from extreme poverty will share much more in common with a man in a similar situation rather than kim to which the only commonality is genitalia.

In Korea, the Western word meaning “feminism” is 여성 운동가. Feminism, to Koreans, equates to radical feminism.
What is being discussed in this video is indeed "radical feminism" and a modicum of research would find this out, far beyond the third wave feminism as what is known in the West.
There is no moderate feminism. Feminists have always been extremists, feminist groups started as terrorist organization.
I’m curious as to how much of those in this so-called feminist movement have been infiltrated from outside forces with ulterior motives and agendas.

@@uwu_senpai I am stating purely on the definition of feminism, which advocates for equality. There are many genuine ones out there who actually want gender equality, so don’t lump the genuine ones with the radical.
@@uwu_senpai That's ridiculous. Wanting equal voting rights for men and women = feminist, so is wanting women to have the right to work and men the right to raise kids, etc. What is sometimes called "radical feminist" could be more accurately described as anti-feminist and/or anti-male. Feminism is just a weird word. It's a form of egalitarianism that got its name from one of the two. It's not that different from principality & prince and princess. The -ess part is from French (like actress, lioness, etc) and modified the typical word. Feminism just takes female/feminine, but it means "egalitarianism for the sexes/genders".
I once had a really interesting conversation with a koran women with whom I learnt korean with and we talked about the whole feminism debate in korea- and honestly she told me she‘d be happy to have more women in feminism (be it radical or not, that’s a subjective question) bc then she‘d be less scared to actually stand up for herself and other women and the women in korea would finally be able to change the laws that surpress them
Edit: something that surprises me (well, not rlly) is that there‘s such an outrage that these women (this „radical“ feminist group) are „attacking“ men and feeling that they are „superior“ to men when these two things used to be (and in some countries still more/less present) normal for women to just live with it and to cope with it
The flaw in that logic is that it fails to consider how it also might make their points taken less seriously. One bad apple spoils the rest, and then they'll all be bunched together and seen as people with irrational behaviour. It's not a good look. They already ruined the word feminism in the US

For the last dude who was talking about how everything how everything should be "objective" and should not "benefit only women," made me worry. Especially in the case of "making sure even education about gender equality (or inequality) should be as objective as possible" is a little dangerous thinking in my opinion/experience. That's how you grow in the U.S. with half the country learning that the civil war was a complex issue about slavery, and the other half learning that "objectively" it was "just about states rights." No situation is just black and white and issues as complex as gender/race inequality cannot just be taught objectively. Particularly, when that "objective" pov is from that of the oppressor. I remember hearing about how this issue was really picking up in South Korea a few years ago and I still came away now thinking the same thing I did then - "equality always feels like oppression to the oppressor."
Weird way to frame how the U.S. learns about civil war era history. There's only one correct way to present the civil war era and that is as a complex issue that involves both state rights and human rights issues among other issues. Fortunately, that era ultimately won everyone the same human rights. Unfortunately, it tipped the power of the federal government as more supreme than that of the states. As far as I know, no one has ever been taught that the civil war was *just* about states rights but it does appear as if you think it was *just* about slavery.
If something cannot be taught objectively, then it should be taught subjectively. And things that are subjective cannot be considered true until proven objectively. You're basically saying gender and race inequality issues aren't verifiable. I think many are overblown but even I wouldn't go that far. Not sure why you treat "objective" as if it's a bad word. Even more worrying is that you think objective thinking is dangerous thinking. You realize all scientific fields strive to be as objective as possible, right? Do you find science inherently dangerous, too? If a view is objective, it is true whether that view comes from an oppressor or not. You're statement shows you don't even understand what "objective" means. Here: expressing or dealing with facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations.
You really need to do some thinking about how you view the world. You're striking me as someone who thinks they are educated but, in fact, have yet to learn to think critically.
exactly, thank you
@@Haylla2008 Firstly, woah, I was not expecting quite such an aggressive response and I think a few wires have been crossed here. When I was mentioning "objective" - I was meaning in the way it is often used to white wash history and gloss over the very real events/life experiences of the people involved. Secondly, I would never say/insinuate there is no fact based truly objective evidence of gender/race inequalities because that is just factually untrue. In an ideal world "objective" should mean exactly what it does, but it is rarely used in that way when it comes to educating people about "unpleasant" but extremely important history. Especially, considering history is written by the winners. Thirdly, growing up in Texas in the U.S. - yes, a lot of education here (in my experience) about the Civil War paints it in a very specific light as conflict about states rights exclusively. Slavery surely was mentioned, but not being properly represented in the retelling as states rights. Fourthly, I think my view and trust of people in power/or in general is a little more on the pessimistic side, especially when I'm misinterpreted and they seemingly charge in to insult rather than educate/converse, but I am only soo cynical because I expect and hope for better. I have no problem with educating people on the facts, in a lot of cases that exclusively is preferred. Issues as complex as race/gender NEED to be taught with more nuance, because, if we're going just based on facts, racism must have ended the second after the Civil Rights Act (in the eyes of some people.) Which is obviously not true, but this is the kind of misinformation that can come about of maybe-not-so-well-meaning people advocating for exclusively "objective" education.
Also, your statement of "fortunately that era ultimately won everyone the same rights," is just "objectively" wrong. I would venture to even say is wholly misinformed. If that were the case then Jim Crow and the Civil Rights Movement would not have existed. I understand feeling passionately, but insults are not necessary and introspection may be. If I am wrong on this I would very much like an explanation as to why I am, sans insults please.
Sorry that was a lot to dump but I wanted to make myself clear.
@@TuxedoMasc "When I was mentioning "objective" - I was meaning in the way it is often used to white wash history and gloss over the very real events/life experiences of the people involved."
That would be a subjective interpretation from the people who were in power at the time. If something is objective, it stays objective. You used the wrong word. Fair enough.
"Secondly, I would never say/insinuate there is no fact based truly objective evidence of gender/race inequalities because that is just factually untrue."
You did insinuate as such but I'll take it as an honest mistake/misspeak.
"In an ideal world "objective" should mean exactly what it does, but it is rarely used in that way when it comes to educating people about "unpleasant" but extremely important history. Especially, considering history is written by the winners."
No. Objective does mean exactly what it means. History is not an objective field of study. You said it yourself, it's written by the winners which means it is interpreted and sorted by people with a bias and there's no regulation of that bias until you get into the years of peer reviewed papers. It's a subjective field of study with some objective truths (i.e. slavery happened).
"Issues as complex as race/gender NEED to be taught with more nuance, because, if we're going just based on facts, racism must have ended the second after the Civil Rights Act (in the eyes of some people.) "
You act like race and gender are some unexplored monolith of complexity. They're barely worth studying in the first place but, even when studied, not that difficult to understand.
Besides that, there are plenty of *facts* that point to racism not ending after the Civil Rights Act. Be honest (with yourself). You've never heard someone say racism ceased to exist after the Civil Rights Act. What you heard is someone say something along the lines of "we put laws in place to prevent discrimination" and you interpreted that to mean them denying the existence of current day racism.
"Also, your statement of "fortunately that era ultimately won everyone the same rights," is just "objectively" wrong."
No it isn't. Ultimately. Ultimately. Words are important. I use words the way they are meant to be used. And, really no aggression meant but, you clearly don't. That era and those events had to happen in order for other strides to be made *ultimately*.
TLDR; You should have used "subjective" not "objective". Those words don't change meaning just because people misuse them. I imagine we disagree on how important race and gender actually are and almost certainly on whether it should be studied as intently as it is. We can agree to disagree on what an "aggressive response" is. My "insult" was an attempt at evoking introspection on your end. I have a plethora of it myself. No hard feelings. You responded maturely enough, which is more than most people can claim.
@@Haylla2008 I guess we can only agree to disagree. I truly wasn't saying that there is no fact based evidence of discrimination, because there is. And I'm not exactly sure why you don't believe me when I say that, but fine, can't change your perception.
I do think think that gender and race are complex issues, the fact that we still have problems with them in almost every society to this day is evidence enough that we still haven't gotten it right after 200,000 years. So, yeah, I think it's kind of important and worth studying.
You're use of the word "ultimately" IS incorrect b/c we still don't all have the same rights for everyone yet. So, therefore, wrong. (Though I'm sure you'll argue that's not true.)
Also, the "misuse" of words. Firstly, language always involves intent and isn't black and white. I was talking about how people themselves misuse the word "objective." So, I'm not sure why you're (seemingly) willfully misunderstanding me.
Secondly, "those words don't change meaning just b/c they misuse them." Language - like race/gender - is complex. This happens, and is well documented, in language all the time. That's how words that originally thought of as nonsense, "irregardless," become part of the dictionary. You are thinking to one dimensionally about language, but I guess that just my opinion. Though I agree in this case it's people, let's say "misrepresenting" the word "objective" rather than misusing.
Though I'm sure I give a similar impression, in the regards to believing steadfastly I'm right, you seem to be someone who thinks a very binary and literal way. And I think that thinking doesn't serve well in regards to issues as complex as race/gender or language, but fine. Agree to disagree. Thank you for being civil with me - have a nice day.

There’s no difference in feminism. It’s obviously ruining modern society and if you believe women are more happy now than they were in previous generations because of feminism then more power to the movement. However the statistics show that’s not the case and it’s quite sad men and women are more divided than ever before.
It’s the same argument W0men use against “Not all men” , you say that even if it’s “not all men” , men as a class harm us .
Now flip the same “Not all fem1nists are radical”, but those who hurt men are radicals so men too are cautious about it
That's why there's a better word, EGALITARIAN.
I get that in countries were women are really underprivileged, feminist should be a thing because, for a lack of better word, they need a lift.

Not argument for men-hating. Please remember that
the real feminism is the belief in the economic, social and political equality between sexes, which aims to stop stereotypes and injustice on the female group. Gender equality is not contradictory with the feminism and if we abandon the word of "feminism" and just use slogans like "rights equity", the very problem of girls will be disguised.
I think everywhere in the world we're fighting over some issues or the another and the end result is we're divided in many ways but we need to be united not divided.

I looked up korean interviews with an influential "feminist" who wrote a book she wrote i believe called Corset, and it's just pure cringe. It's also got a very culty aspect to it, so I really don't get these westerners/koreaboos thinking that everything associated with feminism has to be inherently good.
that hand sign is about how much respect left i have for feminism.
In my case it shows how patience I have for it.
These echo chamber groups are all bad. Whether it's racists, misogynists or misandrists. We need to work together. Not divide and attack others.
Misandry isn't real. Where in the world are men being child brides, having acid thrown in their face, sold off, denied education, subject to a matriarchal society, having to bind their breasts, being forced into menstrual huts, etc. You think of misandry when women express unpleasant opinions about men.
Feminism means one thing to one person, another thing to another person. Like ‘God’.
If a movement is working to deepen divisions, then it is working against the human spirit.
I'm amazed no feminist called u misogynist by this point😅😂

I wonder if it's a thing to laugh about a woman's physique (chest, bottom, etc.) in South Korea amongst men or in advertising. If it is, well, this is just the equivalent from women or advertising. (I'm not a fan of body shaming, but it's important to recognize possible double standards.)
It is definitively a thing ! In online males communities that's one of the most common thing they do. Articles with women barely wearing clothes are often trending and trust me you would feel disgusted reading their comments
Some men do body shame women but I don't think it's ever in public advertisements that everyone can see because that's just going to lose money for the company who put out the ad. Body shaming women has come to a point in society where 99% of people agree that it is horrible. But bodyshaming men is still seen as a funny joke and if men where to speak up about it, they are called "too sensitive". Really just plays into the way that society expects men to be this stable emotionless tree that provides and takes anything positive or negative without any complaint.
Haha there was an online ad that was promoting a product that helps turn the color of female nipples to "pink". I grew up hearing Korean guys say "Black/brown nipples are such a turnoff/ugly." etc 😬
Yea typical men. They always talk degrading about women in their conversations, paint us as sex objects in their music, touch us without our permission, etc. and we're just supposed to sit down and take it. I don't really see a problem with it, and if ppl do have a problem they should just ignore it. You don't see me trying to take out the hip hop industry for basically painting us a sex objects, I just simply ignore it.
@@anm2x Honey have you seen the hip hop industry? they basically indirectly tell women you aren't good enough if you don't have huge boobs, big booty, etc. And not to mention advertisements only praise women with those body types.
To me, it seems this radical feminism has come about as a reaction to the repressive patriarchy. When I lived in Korea, I felt it was like living in the fifties: the gender roles I saw displayed in the media, my friends talking about how it seems the majority of men had affairs, the condemnation of single mothers and older unmarried women, et al. Maybe frustrations are bubbling to the surface?
idk it's stupid asf if they think things are gonna get better by calling men "bugs" and trying to brainwash children... they're not feminists they're terrorists and traitors

I worked in a garage and there was constantly conversations about how women should look and how they shouldn't look and about their backsides and genitalia. And nobody but the other girls called them out. None of the men did. They all just participated or kept their mouths shut. Again, I am not for this tit for tat approach but can you understand now what it would feel like to a woman?

I used to live in the US, after seeing one of my peers get pressured into a occupation only because she was a female (OBGYN) I started voicing out as a Feminist. However when I came back to Korea, I realized feminisms here that took root are more of that of misandry. Most 'so called' feminists are not voicing out on equality but rather wanting to create a divide and gain privilege's. Unfortunately the true feminists are far low in number for many reasons. (1. Education, most radical feminists don't bother to educate themselves on most topics, its mostly yelling, if you tune in almost any talk or debate you can see that- One reason a public started viewing ALL feminists as idiots) 2. Image- due to the creation of a a radical feminist website all talks were shared within then released into the public. Among such talks were chats between members claiming "I want to stab my father since he's a male" "I scratched our neighbors car because he's a guy" "Wanting to just kill a random boy on the streets" "All males are potential criminals"- Now you see that's where I had to stop my support within Korea. As from those news I realized 'Feminism' doesn't or merely exists in Korea. Mostly angry, people who need society or males to blame cloak themselves in the guise of 'feminism' here.
I see a lot of youtube comments hating on Koreans for this issue, but realize this is not a simple case like other parts of the world were 'feminism' is being hunted down for no reason.

Support gender equality at all cost in East Asia and protest against toxic masculinity . What 's wrong with women having equal right as men. Men have been taking advantage from gender inequality for a long time. It s time to change . The reason that men are afraid of women having the equal right because they are selfish and don't want to lost the advantage . If you care your mother or sister and don't want them to experience this , please support women right.
Then who had a advatage from gender inequality can give their properties to women. The young men here are afraid of being discriminated and repressed because we are men, not being selfish. In Korean societies, who really has vested interest, the middle aged men are supressing young men in the name of feminism, instead of giving their power to women.
in the philippines, we say 'men are trash' and guys would be saying not all men, but the thing is they are too many. men for centuries have been oppressing women so in our perspective, when we say 'man are trash' we know it's not all man, but the abuses and inequality we experienced is too severe that's why we call them out. and for women, we expect them to help us, to recognize the bad things their gender did to us, and help us fight the battle by correcting their fellows and not being an enabler or a standy or saying not all of them bc it hurts their ego to digest that fact. bc compared to your ego, the oppressive act we experienced is far more severe. i think we can only move forward if men will start recognizing what they did wrong and what kind of enabling their commiting if they continue to just not care at all.
I know your counrty is based on matriarchal society. The real and last goal of Korean feminist is making matriarchal country like Phillipines. Cause they strongly believe all power and abuse from men is rooted in *patriarchy system. But I wonder it just spoil men and accordingly men lose their responsibility and on top of that, this is not related with gender Equality when we see only two countries(🇵🇭 and 🇻🇳)who adopted matriarchal society in the world.
Cause there's literally no one who say philippines and vietnam are more gender Equality society than that of korea or others.
What do you think about it? If that system is really right, the rank of gender Equality of 🇵🇭 and 🇻🇳 should be #1, and #2. But the reality is not that great like you referred.

But as a korean, I think they need to accept the fact that korea is (better than past but) still conservative, patriarchal society and feminism is not only for women but for both gender. And honestly I think korean men are so sensitive now

Please know that they are now harassing an Olympic gold medalist accusing her of being a radical feminist cuz she cut her hair short.
Short cut is not the essence of the problem.
@@jhs5716 There is the other thing she said about “oh-geok-oh-something.” Do you have any proof that she is a solid radical feminist? And why is it that men all hate the idea of men and women being considered of equal standing?
They're so pathetic 🤣🤣

@@Starfire10982 Yes, Korean men are those who claim that it is male discrimination to replace water bottles. They don't want women's rights to go up because they think they are being discriminated against more.
It about context and mentality not symbol, there was a tiktok trend "I'm this close to" with same hand posture so that doesn't mean we are talking about pp here
But the words doesn't mean what you said

Classic case of misandry not "radical feminism" anything that demeans or hurts men is misandry
@Dani No
Misandry is good. Somebody needs to humble these beasts
@Dani You guys call anything misandry
@Danny Women have to be beasts to begin with, and we all know which sex perpetuates the most violent offenses against the other.
@@Acidreflux0000women like you call every thing mysogynist
I don't know what it is but it is not feminism. To ANY movement that fights for equal rights, the premise is the same, you can't have respect when you disrespect the other.
But feminism doesn’t fight for equal rights. They fight for women’s rights
@@ee-nk5sl i’m not getting it twisted. I’m not saying there is anything inherently wrong with it.
@@lolawalker7392 what? Yes, so women can be EQUAL to men. That's the basic of every single movement for any "whatsoever" 's rights. To be treat as equal.
@@marckye1 but feminist fight for women’s rights only meaning they won’t fight for men. There is a difference.
@@lolawalker7392 OMG! It's because there's no need to fight for men's rights!!! That's the whole point of the feminism! To get EQUAL rights. You know, the ones that men ALREADY have.
7:25 Today I learned a new word: misandry
Beautiful word no? 🥰
@@ariellekwong206 Yeah very beautiful just like misogyny 😊
@@egg4489 not misogyny. Just misandry 🤚🏼
@@ariellekwong206 But feminism is about equality isn't it ? 😅
So Misandry = Misogyny both must be liked equaly otherwise if feminism has a problem with that then f*ck feminism 😁❤️
@@egg4489 oh honey no. Misandry is women saying kiII alI men on Twitter . Misogyny is men literally kiIIing, attacking and rapiing women every single day. Even as we speak. They are nowhere near equal, however much i wish
Body shaming is fine till we start talking about weight I guess
🤏
@@doggerlander this isn't my culture, i couldn't care less
I think it’s because a lot of feminists (like a lot of human activists) want equality in the result not in the process. Also, a lot of them produced hate against men in the name of “mirroring”. I think people think that feminism values are contradicting. For example, feminism is about gender equality and that they say men and women are exactly the same. However, when it comes to jobs like police officers, fire fighters, soldier, etc. They say that we need to lower the bar for females so that more women can get in; I mean this is only a part of it. Also, a lot of Korean men think that western feminism is better, but umm…the West faces the same issue with feminism and the issue is rising each year (lots of people are starting to say “woke culture” is problematic). I personally think the concept of “men and women are exactly the same” is such an old topic. People actually think that that’s the knew topic, but it’s really very old; it’s been there for the last few decades. I think we should realize that, in general, men and women are different and try to understand each other, obviously we should also recognize the people who doesn’t fit in the norm, bc that’s also okay.
Yeah, we should accept our differences and respect one another, not vaguely tie ourselves in a way that contradicts biology.
Both of the sides better learn the definition of what the feminism is thanks bye
How disappointing! You didn’t talk to women about the issues they deal with every day! And you should have searched the meaning of ‘radical feminist’
The name is Karen, makes sense.
Guess Korea is now suffering from "developed countries syndrome" As much as I support equality I do believe that anything out of proportions is dangerous.
I hope they go back to the traditional feminism because doing something that will just hurt the pride of males as a symbol will make them less popular and effective with both men and women.
The company that pulled down the ad did it right. If the message you are sending out is hurtful and makes no other sense, admit your error and do something positive. Now it is that feminist site’s turn.
There’s no original feminism. The agenda is still the same. Bring down men and uplift women. It’s funny though because women hate eachother as well
@@TheKinghanzel Boohoo, 'bringing men down' by not being subservient and allowing men to get away with discrimination. I wonder how it feels to be hated to for your sex...oh wait women experience that everyday.
@@eveningbane6390 please lady go somewhere else with your bitter and negative attitudes. That’s why you think like you do because your not happy with your own life and blaming men is all your can do. You sound like so much fun and any man should be lucky to have you
Feminism is supposed to promote equality amongst gender, but it's hard to do that by attacking one of the biggest point of insecurity among men.
I hear you, but "feminism" didn't create this insecurity. Men have done it to themselves.
@@eltiochusma of course, but imagine if it was the other way around, men trying to promote equality by running ads mocking women's small tits or short stature
@@christaincarvalho eh? That’s what they do almost daily? Have you been living under a rock or what?
@@Der_echte_apored what? But these men aren't trying to promote equality, I'm talking about a scenario were women are the "dominante gender" on the world.
@@Der_echte_apored your comment don't even make sense, these groups of men aren't trying to promote equality at all
