Why Some Koreans Don't Buy the Theory That Chinese Are Behind Korean Feminism

It feels gross to say "our country" like that

They've turned into Red Guards and Shincheonji cultists

Collapsed self-esteem, the internet being their only outlet, low intelligence, twisted values, wasting time like Bill Gates...

Japan gets dominated by Korea and Korea gets dominated by China—classic subcontracting structure lmao

What if a powerful and wealthy feminist leader shows up—do they become like Illuminati or Shincheonji?

Both sides are getting their headquarters exposed

But wait, the women's community IS made up of Korean people wtf lmaooooo

There's definitely Chinese manipulation, but looking at the Myung-jo incident, there are tons of homegrown feminists too

Sweet idiots blaming it all on Koryo-saram, saying it's cause of gender conflict lol

The whole "it's Chinese manipulation" narrative is missing context from before—women-centric communities have been consuming Chinese dramas forever, so Chinese people naturally infiltrated those spaces. It coincided with when the Choi Ja-hyun/Lim Wo-ok couple appeared on broadcasts when the women-centric communities were peak Sino-phile, which is why so many Chinese people flooded in. Saying women-centric communities never had misandry is total bullshit

Honestly, men's last goodwill gesture to women was blaming it all on Chinese and Koryo-saram "laundromat accusations," but women threw that away themselves. Most people knew these were latent feminists anyway, and men tried to work with them by fully pushing the narrative that it was all China's doing to see if women would self-correct. If women had taken that public support, purged the Koryo-saram and Chinese, and actually self-corrected, gender conflict would've been pretty resolved and some trust restored. But men tried everything—patience, persuasion, fighting—and the last strategy they came up with was blaming it on Chinese feminist manipulation, and women just completely brushed it aside lmaooo. That's when I realized this generation's gender trust was finished. Real recovery would take 2-3 generations, and future female generations are gonna have a rough time

But see, feminism was pushed by government policy too, so it's not Chinese manipulation—it's just a Korean women thing. China sees this heading somewhere dangerous and is piling on more pressure. Everyone's confusing it with China stirring the pot though

wait this is a whole conspiracy theory?? i just thought korean feminism was... korean women wanting equal rights lol

the title alone made me laugh but the fact people genuinely believe this is wild, like feminism can't just organically exist apparently
