Korea: Over 50 percent of men in their 30s remained unmarried last year.

South Korea's young men are fighting against feminism:

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/09/21/asia/korea-angry-young-men-intl-hnk/index.html

In South Korea, there are more than a dozen women-only universities and
no male equivalent. Some of these schools offer courses in highly
coveted professions like law or pharmacy -- and as the country caps the
number of law students, the more places that go to women, the fewer
there are for men.

This is going to be the US in 10 years.

MGTOW is a natural outcome of the rigged system so.......

DecimatingDarkDeceit · 2021-09-29T09:40:03+00:00

If anyone actually thinks Japan has the worst over the birth & marriage rates... take a small look @ South Korea. The State is a gynocentric/misandry filled discriminatory hellhole for men. There was even a cult like extremist female oriented group on that country that (somehow (!)) found their way onto the state politics

liebestod0130 · 2021-09-29T15:41:07+00:00

I seriously worry for the demographic collapse that is coming to many developed countries of the world...it's terrifying. And no one wants to deal with it because it could easily be framed in opposition to women's rights. Feminism and leftist politics are basically preventing us from solving the greatest catastrophe coming to our societies.

The Economist June 2021

A SUMMARY OF SOME OF THE PROBLEMS:

Young men in South Korea feel victimised by feminism:

A conservative upstart appeals to them

WAS IT MERELY an innocent sausage? Last month a poster promoting camping kit sold by GS25,
a chain of shops in South Korea, included an illustration of two
fingers reaching out to grasp a steaming banger. Angry young men
complained. They said the detail, which resembled an emoji that depicts a
hand making a pinching gesture, was a hidden insult planted by
feminists. As everyone knows, the symbol is commonly used when mocking
the size of a man’s penis. One critic was especially outspoken. “Why on
earth would the sausage have to be there and who would eat a hot sausage
with their fingers?,” said Lee Jun-seok. “We deserve an explanation.”

On June 11th Mr Lee was elected leader of South Korea’s main opposition party, the People Power Party (PPP).
At 36 he is the youngest person ever to lead a South Korean political
party. His election marks an effort to rejuvenate the conservative
outfit ahead of the presidential poll next year, though Mr Lee is not
himself old enough to be eligible for that job. Among his biggest fans
are men in their twenties who feel victimised by South Korea’s
increasingly vocal feminist movement.

South Korea scores poorly on measures of equality between the sexes. The
“glass-ceiling index” compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit, a
sister company of The Economist, rates it the worst rich
country in which to be a working woman. Many women suffer discrimination
and harassment. Creeps use hidden cameras to snap pictures of them in
bedrooms and public toilets. That culture ruins lives, according to a
report issued on June 16th by Human Rights Watch, an international
monitor.

Many young men take a different
view. In a survey conducted in 2019 some 60% of men in their twenties
said that discrimination against women was not a serious issue. More
than two-thirds said that unfairness towards men was the big problem.
They said they felt disadvantaged by South Korea’s marriage culture, job
market, and the application of its laws. Compulsory military service,
which applies only to men, is a particular grievance. “We have to
compete against women after sacrificing 22 months for the country,” says
a 25-year-old surnamed Jung. “We just want compensation for our
sacrifice.”

Mr Lee has railed against radical feminism. He said the ruling party
performed poorly in mayoral elections in April because it focused too
much on pleasing female voters and had “underestimated” young males. He
has promised to abolish quotas for women in the PPP and
wants to restore “fairness” to the political process by using tests to
choose his party’s candidates. This appeals to many young men, more than
three-quarters of whom voted for the conservatives in the recent
mayoral election in Seoul. “Most of my friends feel discriminated
against in some way and that’s why we support Lee Jun-seok,” says Mr
Jung. “It’s not about anti-feminism, it’s about fair competition.”

Mr Lee graduated from Harvard and worked for an education startup but
has never held public office. He may struggle to find more policies that
can unite his young fans with his party’s older and crustier
supporters. These include evangelical Christians with a penchant for
conspiracy theories whom many in the PPP find
embarrassing. His idea to make party members compete for nominations by
taking exams in skills such as drafting power-point presentations is
unlikely to fly, reckons Choi Jin-bong of Sungkonghoe University. His
ambition to abolish quotas for women and young people will irk other
party leaders, some of whom are young women.

Yet Mr Lee’s youth and novelty may prove powerful assets. The PPP
has changed its name twice since losing power four years ago after a
corruption scandal toppled Park Geun-hye, the previous president. Until
recently it had shown no appetite to renew itself any more than that. A
conservative landslide in the mayoral elections suggests voters are
souring on the leftish government of President Moon Jae-in, which has
been damaged by scandals of its own and delays to vaccinations against
covid-19. Mr Lee’s popularity will aid whomever the PPP nominates to run for the presidency next year—among some male voters, at least. Women may find him less impressive

They are smart men, they are living free! who needs a ball and chain!

FatherGascOwn · 2021-09-29T14:05:53+00:00

There should really be a more "vicious" anti-feminism movement. Real propaganda on how toxic it is, exposure of platform that men's rights and favour misandry, I mean REALLY go public and hard on feminism. Give us back the respect we deserve.

Reiwa_ · 2021-09-29T19:18:58+00:00

Korean youth are one of the most depressed and hopeless people I have seen. Poor sods, they deserve better.

People are scared in public transport, if some random women would try do harm to them or frame them for sexual assault, since both the cops and the court are extremely politicised and decedant.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.chosun.com/national/national_general/2021/09/23/TVZIVDMSKBFO3CV7LJIRWZJDHM/%3foutputType=amp

Recently, a father was beat by a drunk woman on sidewalks, but he couldn't do anything because of the fear of that woman filing up counterlawsuits of sexual assault for touching her. So this poor sod was being beat up in front of his family for like minutes. The women has no plan to apologise, neither do I expect any punishmemt against her because punishing women for any reason is misogyny amirite?

They are being bombarded by the most crooked and vile conscription system, decedant cops who just arrest people with little hard evidence just to rack up points, crooked court that takes testimonies as hard evidence just because it is being told by women, and high social expectations of scarificing eveything.

Korea is your guide to how not to run a country. It had lot of potential until a few years ago when series of senile politicians ruined the country and has left a divided country with no compassion.

At the same time, I'm happy that foreigners are looking onto this issue with concern. There are nothing that Koreans care more than foreign opinion, so please do keep conversing and pressure Korea to change its gynocentric ways.

Good. Keep it up guys.

For good reasons. As for me I have no wants to marry in america . Seems like wayy too much risk

Royal_IDunno · 2021-09-29T15:54:08+00:00

They are smart

EnvironmentalWar4627 · 2021-09-29T09:39:32+00:00

This is tagged as 'feminism' but the article doesn't mention feminism at all and blames the lack of marriage on the economy.

"Many young South Koreans are opting to distance themselves from life's three major milestones ― dating, marriage and having children ― because they cannot find decent jobs amid a protracted economic slowdown and skyrocketing home prices."

HIVnotAdeathSentence · 2021-09-29T19:17:05+00:00

In Korea, there are more pets than there are children.

bfte2 · 2021-09-29T22:33:36+00:00

You have to wonder.... when it reaches critical mass, how will the weirdos and the media try to spin it?

"GET MARRIED, or ELSE!!!...."?

Selfmade_3127 · 2021-09-29T12:04:58+00:00

we know from genetic analysis that the ratio of female ancestors to male ancestors averaged over the whole history of humanity is 2:1 ... that means that different women have mated with the same men ... 80% of women procreate but only 40% of men procreate ... the selection pressure on men is extremely high ...

corollary: how do you call it, when I take 100 female and 100 male wolves ... and then select 40 male wolves following certain criteria for procreation and kill the other 60 male wolves? ... if you said "selective breeding" the you're right ... women are breeding us for millions of years ... then tossing us into the dogpits of society ... where we have to work and fight for resources and a place at the top ... then again breeding with the best and tossing the male offspring into the dogpits again ... over and over ...
we men, turned out *EXACTLY* how women want us to be ... millions of years of choosing fathers of their children ... we are the epitome of female dreams and choices ...

so if a woman ever dares to question you or your masculinity ... remember that they have created you ... they have created men ... EXACTLY how they wanted them to be ... you are not ugly ... you are perfect ! ... your Y-Chromosome is thousands of years old ... it survived hundreds of female decisions to be chosen as mate and father ... you are by definition ... a champion by the votes of all women who lived before ... so damn ... ACT LIKE ONE!

Korean dudes, everything ok over there ?

reddut_gang · 2021-09-29T18:12:41+00:00

if anyone gets mad at these men, I have to ask, why? It's their choice to not get married. Do you propose forced marriages instead?

CodeEmotional9593 · 2021-09-29T19:04:49+00:00

They really gotta step into the 21st century. Life is not about "marrying" someone. Date FFS. And stop the female infanticide. That's why Korea is a matriarchal sausage fest.

Smart lads

Not just Korea

drgonzo17 · 2021-09-29T21:02:46+00:00

America here and I'll be damned if it ain't almost the same. Kinda like hopelessness has seeped into our sperm, I wish I could sit back and watch the world burn.

gratis_eekhoorn · 2021-09-30T06:01:22+00:00

Good for them, Korean men seem smart

DotNetDeveloperDude · 2021-09-29T14:23:25+00:00

The article says 42% but the title says 50. Hmm

Edit: I didn’t realize one percentage was a combined percentage and that for men it really is over 50%. OP is right.

remmbermytitans · 2021-09-29T15:46:18+00:00

I'm sorry, but what does this have to do with feminism and/or men's rights? The article is pointing out that more educated women are opting to not be married. And that single men over 30 are at 50% unmarried, and that single women over 30 are at 33% unmarried. There are so many possible reasons for this.

For starters: https://www.statista.com/statistics/642502/south-korea-sex-ratio-age-group/

There are just more men, 106 to 100 females in Korea, so even if you paired up every single male, there are just gonna be more men and not enough females. And in fact, the trend gets worse for men in their 20s-29s. Additionally, this is what happens as more people in general get educated, more and more people opt not to get married or have kids or whatever, because they don't want to go through that stuff. This is just the way the developed world is trending.

If someone can explain to me why this is feminism's fault and how this stat is relevant to men's rights, I'd love to hear it. Please keep it civil. Thanks.

SuicidalWageSlave · 2021-09-29T17:34:12+00:00

Why is this a men's rights issue? What if they don't want to be married?

bbyblu666 · 2021-09-29T22:27:28+00:00

why r u guys always talking about how women are evil so marriage is a trap but then get angry that men aren’t getting married “because of feminism” isn’t this what you were advocating for..

DontSetOnMe · 2021-10-03T16:14:04+00:00

There was never a marriage or birth rate issue when women didn't work, now that they do, there is. The glaringly obvious solution is men would become homemakers. The glaringly obvious problem is women don't want men who are homemakers. You can blame social media or culture or college or whatever, but the bottom line is simple. Women who work are now going to be even more selective than they already were, a much smaller portion of men will have children, and a much larger portion of women and men will go childless. Nobody is wrong here. It's simply an adjustment. Think of it this way, if every woman was extremely heavy, there would be tons of men who would rather die alone than marry them. Tons. This is the equivalent. There are now a ton of men making less money and girls are saying nope, I'd rather live alone and holdout for a better guy.

Refers only to the US occupied part of Korea of course.
