Does Korea have a huge gender imbalance in general?

[โ€“] Drusas@fedia.io 5 points 54 minutes ago

No, but they do treat women like crap. I wouldn't be wanting to meet with random men if I were them, either.

Ranked competitive dating

The "gay" option is probably removed from Korean Tinder from what I know about their government

Korea doesn't support gay people?

Same-sex relationships aren't criminalized, but that's a far cry from being supported

It feels like that where I am in the US when you take into account all the bots.

There's sexy single bots in your area that want to chat

Dating in South Korea is rough in general, more than other Asian countries. Apparently it's devolved into a violent culture war. On one hand, it's no wonder women are unwilling to date. On the other hand, that's going to further fuel desperation and therefore extremist sentiment in men and further the downward spiral of the culture war.

I'm not saying that the male position is right here, but I genuinely do not see a possibility that the culture war stops spiraling

I've heard about the recent movement, but have no idea what the backstory is. Why are women so upset in south Korea?

Moon Channel has videos explaining the historic and cultural context that has led to this:

Women lose the ability to have a career as soon as there's a hint of a boyfriend. Employers check. They're expected to become mothers, and dedicate their life to taking care of their children, husband and household, while not really having any say in it.

It's even worse than that. There's a lot of sexual harassment and a plague of men taking upskirt photos.

That's horrible , this mentality is horrible for everyone, hope that end soon
