The performance of the Korean team in the Beijing Winter Olympics can be said to be "remarkable".

Wong Tai-hsien took the lead in the foul,

The netizens ran wild and cheated by the keyboard,

Min-Jeong Choi was in tears when he lost,

The teammates were laughing happily,

The athletes talked about missing their hometown food, and

They turned around and packed the watermelons in the restaurant to take out.

However, it is the Olympic Organizing Committee that can make Koreans break the defense most.

not long ago, the Olympic organizing Committee posted a post on the official Twitter, which was originally intended to encourage everyone to participate in figure skating. Unexpectedly, Korean netizens in the comment area fried the pot and many people said that they were offended by this gesture in the picture.

In the past year, this gesture has caused an uproar in South Korea, and the government and enterprises have apologized for it, and a series of social movements have also taken place around it, even changing the political situation in South Korea to some extent.

we should start with GS25, the largest convenience store chain in Korea. In May last year, they released a poster to promote camping products. Unexpectedly, it triggered a massive crusade. The crowd surrounded the convenience store and waved their fists in protest. Upon inquiry, I found out that these protesters came from an organization called "United Men", and what angered them was the stick figure gesture on the poster. They thought:

This gesture is a symbol of Korean men's small size and discrimination against men.

(According to statistics, the average size of Korean male Tintin is 6.9 cm. )

This poster just drew a cute little red sausage next to the gesture, which made them feel greatly humiliated.

under the great pressure of public opinion, GS25 changed the poster and publicly apologized to the Korean puppets who were deeply hurt. But things are not over yet, and a large-scale "anti-misogyny" and "anti-discrimination" movement has begun. Male-dominated organizations turned on sensitive small radars and began to search for clues about this gesture on major advertisements, televisions and posters.

Cookie advertisements, posters of women's groups, no-smoking signs, social media photos, the movie Black Widow, and even posters calling for people to be vaccinated against COVID-19 have all been labeled as "misogynistic".

The sensitivity of male chauvinism in South Korea is simply outrageous: this is part of the map of Pohang City, South Korea. "Oh, my god, look, even the map dares to ridicule our size! ！”

and this picture, can you find out where there is this gesture?

let's use animation to reveal the answer.

it's really outrageous. fucking open the door. it's outrageous.

How magical is this gesture, and can it hurt the fragile and soft hearts of Korean men at will?

This is actually related to the long-standing gender opposition in Korea.

In the context of the Internet in South Korea, words related to private organs are often used to insult and belittle women, just like the popular saying of "black fungus" in China a long time ago. In order to counter these humiliations, in 215, Megalia, an extreme feminist organization in South Korea, responded with a hint that male Tintin was very small, and this gesture later evolved into Megalia's Logo.

Most people should not be in the right place for this connotation, after all. However, Korean men are really special. They are determined to eliminate all the "hold" gestures in South Korea. With the intensification of protests, nearly 6% of Korean young people believe that gender opposition is one of the most serious social contradictions in South Korea. Even An Shan, a female athlete who won the gold medal in archery for South Korea at the Tokyo Olympic Games, was subjected to cyber violence. Just because her hairstyle was short, South Korean men even petitioned the government to deprive her of the title of champion.

And the actions of this Megalia organization are also incredible. They hate men to the point of madness and deformity. For example, taking pictures of naked men and spreading photos on the Internet, drugging and sexually assaulting a boy in Australia, taking pictures of his sleeping father with a knife, and calling the Korean War "the biggest BBQ in history" because countless Korean male soldiers died in this battle.

They will attack not only men, but also women who don't obey them. They don't type and swear on the Internet, but physical attacks. Please tell me in ICU. Even male animals are doomed, such as killing male cats.

In short, the ultimate goal of this organization is to "exterminate Korean males".

So, how did the gender antagonism in South Korea evolve to such an incompatible state today?

In fact, there is no contradiction of gender opposition in South Korea in history. Women are kneeling. Where is the opposition? In Korea, the head of a family must be a man, and this law was not abolished until 25.

There is also the personal safety of women. South Korea has never regarded rape as hurting women's health, but hurting chastity. This law was only abolished in 1994. The legalization of abortion for Korean women was not established until 22. Until today, the proportion of working-age women in South Korea is less than 6%, and the median salary is only 68% of that of men. Nearly 9% of major violent crimes are committed by women. The Su Yuan case, Zhang Ziyan case and Room N case have shocked the world, but this still can't stop the frequent occurrence of sexual assault cases in South Korea. Korean women generally think that they are in an unsafe and unequal social atmosphere, so various activities against harassment and advocating equality are endless.

however, many men don't understand.

Two prominent features of Korean society are the patriarchal system, in which the superior and subordinate superiors beat and scold their subordinates for no reason, which leads to the widespread alcoholism among Korean men. When they get drunk, they will abuse their wives and vent their workplace pressure, and the proportion of alcoholism and domestic violence reaches 43%.

Not only that, why should men be forced to subdue military service while women don't? In the eyes of Korean men, all their sorrows and misfortunes are caused by gender. Can't find an object because women hate men; Can't find a job because companies hate men; My salary is low, because women's salary is lower.

In this way, the fire of opposition has become more and more fierce, and the social structure of South Korea has undergone subtle changes. If anyone is most sensitive to this change, it is, of course, politicians.

Li Junxi, the youngest party leader in South Korea's constitutional history and only 36 years old, keenly captured this change and won a lot of votes for himself. Describing himself as a representative of the younger generation, he declared in his speech that radical feminism is as toxic as terrorism. By attacking the harm of feminism to men, she won the support of a large number of young men in their twenties and thirties. In an interview, he said that he got the support of young people, perhaps because I said what they wanted to say.

Back to the problem of gender opposition in South Korea, we can only say that if the two sexes in a country cannot recognize each other, accept each other, unify their cognition and demands, and defeat each other with magic, they will only be harvested by politicians with more advanced magic. On the topic of gender, contradictions will stimulate more contradictions, and extremes will lead to more extremes.
