Description
A fierce anti-feminism movement is spreading online in South Korea, with men in extreme internet groups even bullying a triple Olympic champion during the Tokyo Games, accusing her of being a feminist for having short hair and demanding she hand back her medals and apologise.
Leading mainstream conservative politicians - including two presidential contenders - have seized on the wider anti-feminist sentiment with pledges to abolish the gender ministry.
Condemnation of quotas for women, vilification of a short-haired Olympic gold medallist, and calls to abolish the gender ministry itself: a backlash against feminism is on the rise in South Korea -- with even presidential candidates joining in.
Activist Ahn So-Jung from the Seoul-based Network of Women Politics discusses the rise in anti-feminist sentiments.
