OK, so what was going on in the world around 2010 that caused such a sharp rise in women becoming more liberal?

FTA:

The #MeToo movement was the key trigger, giving rise to fiercely feminist values among young women who felt empowered to speak out against long-running injustices. That spark found especially dry tinder in South Korea, where gender inequality remains stark, and outright misogyny is common.

Yeah, it also doesn't help that in SK, men are conscripted to the military for years and enter the workforce with somewhat of a disadvantage.

"Misogyny" is half the story.

Your question is answered in the fucking article. Read.

[-] Bonehead@kbin.social 9 points 9 months ago

That doesn't spark a conversation in the post. Learn.

You can spark conversation while also actually knowing something yourself. Ignorance is not the only way to engage.

And you can spark a conversation without being confrontational. Being insulting is not the only way to engage.
