[@wormworm580]

I can’t speak on Korea but I did do a unit on discrimination(gender studies? It was mostly societal gender stuff) in Japanese society. There are different ways to speak about marriages, and some of the more traditional terms essentially equate the husband to the ‘master’ or household head while the wife is “house woman” or “inside the house”. Nowadays such terms are rare and generally much lighter terms are used, ones that don’t have archaic connotations. It’s becoming more common for both parents in a family to have successful careers and maternity leave and daycare is a big part of this. The term used for “house wife” is gender neutral, and as society changes more men are going by the same term. There is still an imbalance in terms of things like work life balance though. Usually, women still do the majority of the housework, even when also working full time. This kind of parallels with what the kid said, about how if his wife was his main source of income then he would try to do more, not all or the majority of the work. In the inverse situation, a stay at home wife would be expected to do all if not most of the housework. There’s also workplace discrimination, etc, but things are getting better and are not just archaic as some people expect foreign places to be. I think a lot of Japan’s development in this regard has been stunted by their history with invasion (lots of major cultural shifts that changed their views on sexuality, power dynamics etc, thanks America) and also their culture of “don’t stick out, don’t make a fuss”. Besides hetero couples though I know the attitude towards same sex couples is pretty mild. My Japanese teacher’s sister is gay and when her Japanese in laws met her sister and her sister’s girlfriend(or wife idk) it wasn’t really a big deal. Even if it was, the cultural attitude leans much more towards keeping to yourself if you don’t like something, maybe being a bit passive aggressive, but generally no bible bashing. There’s also the fact that gay couples are generally more prevalent in Japanese media, even if they’re more so treated as a novelty. In a way, Japan is simultaneously more and less progressive than many western nations. Religion is less prevalent and far less extremist, but a culture of “not sticking out” simultaneously softens hateful words and acts, and makes it harder to rally against unfair systems and biases.

[@kayseacamp]

One question that really irritates me as a woman is when we plan on having kids. People have zero regard towards how this question can make a woman feel. You don't know if we're struggling with infertility, miscarried, want kids but isn't the right time, want to adopt/foster, or just don't want kids. I know a large part of the time the question isn't being asked in a mean way but frankly unless the person is actively speaking to you about their family planning it's no one else's business.

We can be classy and dress/appear in a way that is appropriate for the situation but still be comfortable in our own skins. Sweat pants aren't appropriate for a dressy event, but that doesn't mean I can't wear a pant suit instead of a cocktail dress and heels. I really didn't find my own style until I was in my twenties. And at 30, married, and a mother myself, my mom still nitpicks me. But I've gotten better at standing my ground and knowing myself. And she's gotten better at realizing when to back off.

[@beltashazzar5277]

It’s true, people of the same sex can be vicious towards their peers. I mean, just look at what happens to boys who don’t act like other boys expect them to. They’re harassed pretty much throughout their youth and then they have much lower chances of getting a mate in adulthood because women generally prefer a certain stereotype of men. And quite often they might get belittled by their girlfriend for not being ‘man’ enough (Lady Macbeth style - I’ve seen my own mother do this to my father and have witnessed him literally restraining himself from getting physical and removing himself when she goes ‘Other men would do x-y-z for their wife’ amongst other things). Sadly, people don’t just need to fight ‘the others’ they need to constantly resist their peers, who’re meant to be supportive and understanding.

Yeah, exactly, I would just add that it's not even about simply distribution the roles and who makes more money, cause it would be one-sided (though in our society it WILL be one-sided most of the times); it's just that for me I would want to alternate these roles and make it more balanced, for example, I spend some time home with children doing chores, and then when I have some work to be done, my husband replaces me for some time or takes a paternity leave and so on, but it's not quite possible when one has a stable job from 9 to 5 and the other doesn't have any at all. That's why most couples quarrel and can't find the common ground. But I'm really pleased that this boy is ready to communicate and discuss such things with his future wife so he will be a good, responsible partner. Such an understanding at this age, really mature)

@Ruth Zamorano well, "radical feminism" is a subset of feminism that can be described as TERF ideology (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminism) which isn't radical at all, it's just transphobia disguised as "feminism."

@Ruth Zamorano to add on to what Hyperfixation Station said, "radical feminism" or "radfem" ideologies typically revolve around the idea that women (usually means people who are AFAB to them) are inherently better than men, and that men are less worthy or less pure because of their state as a man. There is also the idea that sex work and kink are demeaning, and anti-feminism, regardless of any reason for doing so. Hope this helps !!

Yes, because sometimes people are indeed upset because of their period, and that's okay, but the implication 99% of the time is "your emotions are not valid if you're on your period".

I really like this type of videos, it just reminded me why as girls we tend to be so insecure growing up. I heard this types of questions daily when growing up whether it was directed at me or women around. Even if you try to ignore them at the end of the day they will affect you and you start having thoughts like "maybe I should loose weight to look better", "if I behaved more 'like a girl' people would like me more" or "maybe I was wrong for defending myself and I was overreacting because 'women always act like that'"... It honestly f*cks you up real bad and it's hard to ignore those thoughts even when you have grown and know these thoughts are wrong 😔

[@aaa-tp6ud]

And it's so integrated in each generation women really do believe in it. I grew up with my mom always trying to loose weight, saying she was "fat" when I didn't see that at all. My grandmother was annoying, too. Was always saying I had to behave more like a girl, the way I sat with my legs slightly open wasn't "girly". Even when I had a friend who was very affectionate and sweet she'd complain when we were hugging or close to each other because she was worried we might 'turn' lesbians. I think what bothered me the most was everytime both my mom and grandmother would say that we couldn't go out at night because "two women and a girl alone at night was no good" as if if a man was there everything would be magically okay. One day my grandma even told my cousin, who was 14, to accompany my mother who was getting some luggage from the car in brought daylight although he didn't want to. Her argument for this was because "he's a boy, he's stronger". Everytime I'm upset, sad for no reason or angry and my mom says it's "probably just your hormones" or "your period must be coming soon". That absolutely disvalues someone's sadness or pain because "op, women have hormones and aren't emotionally steady" I don't know. You could tell it pisses me off a bit. It's a bit worse growing up with a sexist religion where men are put above women, yet if you ask them it's because "god gave us different privileges" yet he gave much more to men than women..

[@nanda_]

The question about being a feminist was pretty interesting, cause I think it can get misinterpreted really easily if you have zero clue about SK. They weren't just afraid of responding to that question cause they're not feminists (necessarily), but because stating you're a feminist can get you very serious backlash in South Korea, as it is seen by a great part (perhaps even the majority) of the population as an unacceptable thing. That doesn't go to say they are or aren't feminists, I just thought it was pretty interesting to see the fear of saying anything at all when asked about it. I'm not from South Korea, so seeing that as a bit of a 'third party' was really revealing about my own society and the global context we live in as a whole. I think a lot of people from around the world would have the same reaction, cause there's stigma and backlash for either saying you are or saying you aren't. It's a good measurement of the way feminism _is_ and is _seen_ nowadays, regardless of right or wrong, and it paints a good picture of where feminism is now and where it's going. Again, saying this without any judgments of value. It's just that seeing it from a 'detached' perspective in relation to SK has made me able to see it in that sort of 'detached' manner in general. It's even interesting that I feel the need to say this, cause I just made this whole comment about how it can be difficult to take a stance and I already now the kind of ideological comments I might get just by mentioning the word, even though the comment isn't meant to talk about the ideology itself at all.

I would love to see other channels remake this.

Yes! I once had a headache at work and mentioned it in passing and a coworker asked me if I was pregnant. Particularly in my 20's people seemed to think anything was a sign I was pregnant and that they were entitled to ask me about it. Just stop!

I think a big thing is men are allowed to age while women are not. Women are praised for looking young way more than men are.

[@helvete_ingres4717]

@@jessie450 lol women are 'allowed' to age; you just lose privilege of being regarded as a desirable sex object when you do and that's what you're complaining about. A young, white, conventionally attractive woman is the most privileged it gets (or pretty close anyway) - - but of course it doesn't last an entire life, yet women act like they're oppressed b/c their privilege has a sell-by date. The thing used to be that women would redefine themselves as a mother and head of a family and their life would be about that and not being a hot young girl or w/e. Now it's normalised to have women past 30 trying desperately to stay party-girls in denial of reality; it's sad

[@Harkz0r]

@@helvete_ingres4717 To play devil's advocate, I can't help but wonder whether part of this is simply a case of subverted expectations as well. It's true that women are valued for youthful looks in terms of sexual attraction disproportionately to men, but there are a whole host of dichotomies and false comparisons in that arena. But if I think of it like this: as a child, I got a free pass for doing a lot of things children do, like playing around or being silly in public, and I was praised and treated positively for seemingly arbitrary reasons. Yet suddenly as I became older, I was lumbered with expectations, you should be doing this, you shouldn't be doing that, and I was less praised for doing things but rather criticised for not doing things. But from my perspective nothing changed. So when girls start developing and becoming attractive, I'm sure it's a novel yet not entirely unpleasant feeling when people, boys especially, start treating them more positively for essentially no reason save their developing secondary sex characteristics. And when this is so often reinforced it becomes the expected norm. So for it to suddenly disappear someday I'm sure there are some women who feel like the rug has been pulled from underneath them. Note for the ladies out there that I'm not trying to "mansplain" anything, merely speculating. Of course, I have seen a good measure of what you describe as well, and I do think it's sad. As _some_ women so often like to remind men, nobody is entitled to sex (or special treatment!) and this does extend to the so-called fairer sex as well. I don't think anyone, men or women, should feel pressured to have children if they don't want them, because that lingering dissatisfaction will surely cause problems for the child(ren) as well. But at the same time there does seem to be something of a cultural attack on the nuclear family and the erosion of traditional family values, which may seem to solve some long-standing issues in that area but also eradicates a whole lot of positives. I wonder what the structure of society will look like in another 50 years or so. I hope I manage to live long enough to see it play out.

Ever since i was a baby i never liked a girl i just had female role models and i looked up to them but never liked them but i always liked guys and when i turned 13 i became bisexual but still more interested in men and my parents are asian, west asian to be specific and you know asians are closed-minded people (most of them) so only my female cousin my female friends and school friends and sister know im bi and my parents always tell me "why do you do this are you gay?"and questions similar to that and my parents are muslim but my dad is more religious in islam but i am muslim too but yeah yk and my dad keeps telling me these stories about how gay people were punished by god etc and i get scared because thats not nice to say and especially this sentence "Gay people go to hell" like YOU ARE NOT GOD YOU WONT BE THE PERSON WHO TELLS ME WHERE ILL GO OR WHERE THEYLL GO SO DONT SAY THAT BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW LIKE GOD KNOWS MAYBE IN HEAVEN YOU MIGHT HAVE A GAY NEIGHBOR LIKE NO.

I'd like to share my personal experience living as a woman in our society! When I was 15 I became a victim of human trafficking! I spend two years (2016-17)of my life in hell! During those times I realised that no one will be there to help us when we're in trouble bcz that's how this world has turned into. I was forcefully taken to many places! At first I was kidnapped into a small village, on the outside this place may look so calm but on the inside it was a literal zoo! Everyone were behaving like animals! During the first two three days I somehow managed to get myself out from being chosen ! I was locked inside a shabby building with many other girls of different ages (and some boys as well I think those guys were turning them into trans)! The days I spend there, was literally the most tragic experience in my life! Bcz of my luck I was only chosen once and I somehow managed to break that mf's head!! But the consequence was harsh. A two or three men( I think it was two) came inside the room and they started to beat me up ! My ears and nose were bleeding and I think my back bone was cracked it was so painful but I didn't go to the hospital bcz there were no hospital duhh!! None of the girls dared to touch me! And I sat on the floor bcz I wanted to prove that they can't touch me! And yeah there was a lot of experience, I wanted to share it with y'all but it's a comment section so, I think I'm gonna stop here! From my experience I realised that , "In our society it's not easy to leave as a woman!"It took me three years to become the woman that I'm right now and yeah I'm not at all embarrassed or afraid to share my experience with y'all bcz, we need people to stand up for the crime against women, as well as men!!
