It actually mirrors what is happening in South Korea.
Women are becoming more liberal as they push for equality and bodily autonomy. Men are becoming more conservative because they feel that women's rights are coming at the expense of theirs and that no one is addressing their concerns.
And so there is a large cultural and political divide.
Which then has all sorts of side effects e.g. men becoming more 'incel' in their behaviour because women aren't interested in dating them, birth rate dropping because woman don't want to be stay at home moms etc.
- llm_trw 2y agoWhat's missing is that men in South Korea are expected to spend 2 to 3 years of their life in the army. This was a reasonable tradeoff when women would spend as much time being pregnant - I risk my life to protect you, you risk yours to give me something to protect. At this point with how quickly South Korea is falling apart socially the young men may well welcome an invasion by the North since they have nothing to fight for - what happens if we have a war and we don't show up?
- threeseed 2y agoThat is a horrific and dystopian trade-off. Pretty sure most women would just prefer to fight than be forced to carry a pregnancy.

- theandrewbailey 2y agoSo many people forget that men are expected to fight wars or register to be drafted on the sole basis of being born male. Many are circumcised for the same reason (born male). Where is our bodily autonomy? Where is our choice?
