Toxic masculinity is a global phenomenon, but nowhere is it more virulent than in this hypermodern, connected society. What can other countries learn from this ‘ground zero’ of misogyny?
It’s because SK men have become incredibly conservative in the recent generation while SK women now want the non-traditional norms of respect and personal freedom. Conservative ideas forcing people to be something they don’t want to be is causing a rift. Authoritarians continue to fuck up shit.

Funny how, when women are unhappy, they’re told they’re too emotional, need therapy, need medication, need to work on themselves. And when men are unhappy, it’s someone else’s fault.
As a man, I have experienced the exact opposite.
When I have seen women unhappy, entire communities have come together to help them. White knights, in particular, fall all over themselves to help her.
When I have seen men unhappy, it’s invariably accompanied by women saying, “so fucking what? Man up, you baby.”
Sure, those men who understand how to help also reach out to assist unhappy men. But they do their best to avoid doing so in the presence of women, otherwise that “un-manliness” gets infected over to them as well like a miasma, and news of that percolates throughout the wider social group. It never ends well for any man who visibly assists, unless they’re wearing a uniform in an official capacity.
Maybe you need different friends. I certainly don’t get that reaction from my social group.

Removing all women from my social sphere seems to be just a little bit extreme…
No no, when men become unhappy, it’s “because they’re incels”

Enough to create the culture is all it takes. Being here I would hope that you understand we do this to each other too

Not really, can’t choose your family. And your ability to relocate jobs, community, or even out of relationships can be restricted by income.
And trying to change our culture is often met with reactionary backlash. I don’t know if you’ve looked into Edward Bernays but the state of gender relations started bad here by default and was made institutionally disastrous by our government. It actually is baked in to our culture just to be shitty to women and others who don’t meet specific ideals.

This was an amazingly frustrating ride, what the heck. I feel like somebody punched me in the gut then set me on a rollercoaster that went underwater or something.
I don’t even know where to start. I always kinda assumed feminism was a kinda good movement because women want rights and also conveniently it can be used to distract people from class war issues, which is why it’s pushed by the media.
But South Korea … what the actual fuck. What the actual fuck, i’m speechless.
Do these people not see people as people? How can you focus so much on someone’s sex/gender. Where is the fairness in this?

You say this like a gotcha, but was this difference missed by women or was it imposed by men? Men treating women differently also results in unfair treatment of men.
Regardless of who caused it, reform is being blocked by the Christian lobby. Of COURSE it’s the fucking religion nutcases

Where is the fairness in 18 months of compulsory national service for men only ?
Where is the fairness in 18 months of pregnancy for women only (in case of two children)?

but to stay constructive … i assume that the fact that people work so much kinda exhausts them and tires them out emotionally, which is why people cut back on dating (because they’re too exhausted for that), and suddenly you have a whole lot of guys saying “hey, why don’t we get female attention”?
Was propoganda a factor there?
