RP claims to be unique in their views. But it seems to be a theme that when young men are on the fringes of society, they get angry and start attacking the vulnerable. And their views sound very similar.

What do you think?

Ilbe is a South Korean movement/website in which men discuss many of the same things as RP and sound very much like RP denizens. The two groups are not exactly the same, but share a lot of similarities. They are misogynist and exist mainly for hate speech against women - same as RP. They have theories about why women are the way they are - same as RP.

RP:

Women are hypergamous. They once traded their youth/beauty for looking after their husbands, but now just trade their youth/beauty to get things from men without looking after them.

Ilbe:

Women are kimchi. They once traded their youth/beauty for looking after their husbands, but now just trade their youth/beauty to get things from men without looking after them.

Made up of angry young men who choose to attack the most vulnerable in society (eg. single mothers) rather than the rich and powerful.

Made up of angry young men who choose to attack the most vulnerable in society rather than the rich and powerful.

Failing or fearing a failure in this system that measures one’s entire worth by achievement and acquisition — a feeling brilliantly described by Richard Sennett and Jonathan Cobb in their book The Hidden Injuries of Class — angry young men want vengeance but will not go after the rich and powerful. They do not have the courage. Instead, they are attacking the weakest, the most marginal, the most vulnerable. Women. Dark-skinned foreigners. North Korean defectors. Chinese Koreans. And now Sewol disaster victims and their families.

This Ilbe guy was studying anthropology, and wrote a report on "kimchi women".

I’m studying anthropology at my university. There was one last course I had to take before graduation—the anthropology of women. Since my career path was already set and it was the last semester of my undergraduate program, I decided to spend the whole semester researching this interesting topic.

For six months, I read 12 books and collected about 90 news articles about the status of women. Based on that material, I analyzed and wrote a term report about the “Kimchi bitch phenomenon.” My professor complimented it and even asked me to present it in class even though we were in the midst of exams. Let me convert it for Ilbe.

"As humankind evolved, men became more suited to hunting while women became better at taking care of the home and children. Men became better at seeing things in a narrow scope but far while women became better at seeing up close but in a broad manager. Can we mock women for being short-sighted in this way? Traditionally, women preferred and married men with higher income and wealth than themselves."

“It is likely that they are very lonely people who struggle to connect with people in the offline world. They enjoy that kind of [negative] attention.”

“Ilbe is culturally marginal but also morally marginal. They couldn’t find their place in Korean society, but the internet is a place where culturally and morally marginal people can talk about their opinions,” he told Mic.

After examining at least 330,000 of posts, data analyst Hakjoon Kim said hate speech against women was the driving force for majority of the site’s content.
