Koreans React To Radical Feminist Hand Sign | Street Interview

While you wouldn’t necessarily think of feminism as a bad thing, did you know there’s a rising radical feminist movement in South Korea? In the midst of a worsening gender-based conflict, multiple Korean companies even had to pull down their ads after men’s rights organizations complained that they were offensive to men. Let’s hit the streets of Seoul to find out how Koreans feel about radical feminism and their infamous hand sign.
The opinions expressed in this video are those of individual interviewees alone and do not reflect the views of ASIAN BOSS or the general Korean population.

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.

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!!".

There’s no difference in feminism.

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

[@meistsyans6526]

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.

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.

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."

[@Haylla2008]

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.

[@deactivatedcrmUw]

exactly, thank you

[@TuxedoMasc]

@@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.

[@Haylla2008]

​@@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.

[@TuxedoMasc]

@@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.

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.

I can only say how I would feel in that situation as I'm an outsider but umm... The value on women (in general) over there isn't very high and body shaming is ingrained into their society with subtle gaslighting sometimes straight offensives.

To be reduced to having value by a physical aspect. ...But thats my opinion😪

[@user-ic4ce8xb5v]

The body shaming is intense on both men and women though, that's why Korea has one of the largest male cosmetic markets in the world, it's definitely worse for women but body shaming is worse for men in Korea than in many other countries

[@anm2x]

Body shaming women is indeed horrible. The reason women get most offended when shamed for their beauty is because ever since the begining of time, women were valued for their beauty and age due to fertility. On the other hand, men were valued for stability like being tall and protective. In modern day, stability mostly mean money. The other side of body shaming for women is men being shamed for height, money, and the ability to provide (all fall under the category of stability). However, no one complains about that because as men, we were taught to be an emotionless rock and never complain. We honestly need to look at issues from both sides to really get both sides to work together. One side shaming the other is not going to get the other side to support them.

I agree. That’s what I’ve always thought though. When speaking of equality both should be on a equal point. As in men should not drag women down and also women should not drag men down. And instead of putting roles like men should do it and women should do it or men can’t do this or women can’t do this, if the man thinks he can do the said role or work he should and if he thinks he can’t it’s okay if he doesn’t. Similarly if the women thinks she can do the said role or work she should and if she thinks she can’t it’s okay to not do it. And both should act in such way that they don’t hurt eachother or anyone else in the process.
