Quand je parlais de la misandrie généralisée en Asie, cet article explique bien. C'est désagréable à lire, mais pas parce que c'est mal rédigé. Après il faut savoir que cette haine a toujours été là, c'est juste que maintenant les gens pensant ça peuvent se regrouper facilement.
https://www.thecut.com/2023/03/4b-movement-feminism-south-korea.html “Practicing bihon means you’re eliminating the risks that come from heterosexual marriage or dating,” […] Those risks Yeowon alluded to might seem familiar — trading career for child-rearing and housework, as well as the threat of physical violence — but in Korea, Yeowon said, marriage presents an existential threat.
There was a time when Minji, a 4B adherent in Daegu, had wanted to get married, “because, you know, everyone wants to get married.” Knowing what she knows now, however — like that domestic violence, as she puts it, is so common — “I don’t want to get married anymore.” Minji, 27, is probably heterosexual, she said, and has liked a few guys in the past, but they wanted her to “treat them like a king.” So she has no problem boycotting the men of her generation, who are little better than her selfish and abusive father.
Mais aussi le truc paraît assez familier. Juste en avance :
Beginning in 2013, the rate of college enrollment among Korean women surpassed those of men; today, nearly three-fourths of women are enrolled in higher education, compared with less than two-thirds of men.
Tu vois aussi la théorie de la relativité en action :
Megalia, one of the more prominent feminist sites in this period, coined the term hannamchung, or “Korean male-bug,” which stereotyped Korean men as “ugly, […]
En sachant que les hommes coréens c'est probablement les plus "groomed" de la planète, avec des standards de fou pour les muscles, le maquillage, etc. que le premier terme les décrivant soit "ugly" est assez cocasse.
En plus, tout en se plaignant, elles l'avouent elles-mêmes qu'elles sont privilégiées 🤦
Yeowon said some of her friends are “selective feminists” who forgo makeup when they meet up with her, but are ultimately not ready to give up the advantages that come with being conventionally attractive. “They cannot let go of this power as women, of using femininity,” she said.
D'une façon générale, c'est une bonne et courte lecture pour avoir une idée de comment leur société, baignant pourtant dans l'opulence et le confort suprême, s'est effritée rapidement dans des petitesses embarassantes. Au point où on peut se demander si leurs voisins du Nord sont vraiment plus mal.
D'ailleurs le premier commentaire m'a bien rappelé ma vie au Japon :
I'm sure this has nothing at all to do with how incredibly hyper-capitalist South Korean culture is. Nothing at all. Expectations of wearing yourself out in late night drinking? Of waiting around for the last person to leave the office? Nothing at all. Winner-take-all, everyone-for-themselves? Nothing at all. Surely expectations of constant dread and stress has nothing to do with tribalization. Seriously, not even a single mention.
(et la majorité des filles sont avec leur copain, donc probablement pas de leur propre chef...)
