[00:00:18.29] You are supporting a misogynistic campaign.

[00:00:20.27] what’s misogynistic ?

Telling people not to hate men is misogynistic?

CARD12

SOUTH KOREA IS ONE OF THE MOST DEVELOPED NATIONS IN ASIA.

BUT BENEATH THIS FAST-PACED PROGRESSIVE FACADE LIES A FRIGHTENING FACT.

IT HAS ONE OF THE HIGHEST RATES OF FEMALE HOMICIDE IN THE WORLD.

LAST YEAR, ONE BRUTAL MURDER STOOD OUT.

IT WAS A FLASHPOINT THAT PUSHED A DEEP-SEATED ISSUE TO THE SURFACE: KOREA’S GENDER INEQUALITY.

WHILE THE MURDERER WAITED SIX MEN VISITED THE UNISEX TOILET … AND LEFT UNSCATHED.

BUT WHEN SHE WALKED IN, HE POUNCED. SHE WAS STABBED MULTIPLE TIMES AND DIED.

HE LATER TOLD POLICE THAT HE KILLED HER BECAUSE WOMEN HAD MISTREATED HIM.

CARD12

AA6273, AA6286

Ptc: the police didn’t treat the murder as a hate crime which started a huge public debate about what it is that could have led the murderer to target a woman.

THEY ARGUE THE MURDER HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MISOGYNY.

ACCORDING TO POLICE, THE KILLER HAD SCHIZOPHRENIA.

GANGNAM STATION BECAME A HOTSPOT FOR GENDER PROTESTS AND SHOUTING MATCHES.

Do not use 5384 ( the military can sue us for showing the base.)

BANG HYELIN, ALSO KNOWN AS ORI IS A CAPTAIN IN THE MARINE CORP.

SHE WAS ONE OF THE FEMINISTS PROTESTING AT GANGNAM STATION.

WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE GANGNAM MURDER CHANGED HER LIFE.

ORI:

(00:44:21)Women have disadvantages that aren’t obvious. We need to bring these issues to the surface. Tell them it’s not their fault. It’s society’s fault. This is why we need feminism and why the movement needs to become more active. * (00:44:40)

SHE’S A CONTRIBUTOR TO THE FEMINIST FORUM MEGALIA.

(1:13) I’ll let you guys know when I hear what happens. More people should have reported her.

8:12

CARD1

00:34:04 -00:34:31 ORI

They wanted to attack me. So they collected all the political comments I made on Facebook and reported me to the Ministry of Defense. They said, “She lacks patriotism, has improper political inclinations, and expresses hatred towards men.”

Rank: Captain     Number: 12-200001   Department: Infantry Army
Name: Bang Hyelin

The salary of person above is reduced for 3 months...

Reasons:

 A.  Violating the duty of submission
 B.  Violating the duty of submission (Etc.)
 C.  Violating the maintenance of elegance

AS PUNISHMENT, HER SALARY WAS REDUCED BY A THIRD FOR THREE MONTHS.

8:37

CARD1

00:31:56

I received disciplinary measures. My salary was reduced. 00:32:03:21 The attackers felt a sense of accomplishment and treated it like a trophy. (00:32:03:21-00:32:17:02)

8:50

FOR ORI, THE REAL LIFE CONSEQUENCES OF HER ONLINE ACTIVITIES WERE HARD TO TAKE.

08:56

00:27:45

Before Gangnam if someone said they were a feminist, people would consider them a bit quirky.

00:28:14 But after Gangnam, it became extreme and there were threats of bullying if you said you were a feminist. There were threats offline. 00:28:25

The comments didn’t affect me emotionally. I could disregard them.

00:39:30-00:39:51

What hurt me was the way the people within my troop reacted. My supervisor no longer trusted me at all. No matter how much I explained they didn’t understand.

Did that really happen? That’s very surprising…

SOUTH KOREA’S MINISTER FOR GENDER EQUALITY AND FAMILY ADMITS LAWS MAY HAVE BEEN BROKEN IN THAT CASE...

17:07:12-17:07:19

That is something we should reflect upon..

THE SOUTH KOREAN GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN TRYING TO IMPROVE THE COUNTRY’S RANKING ON GENDER EQUALITY, CURRENTLY ONE OF THE WORST AMONG DEVELOPED NATIONS.

UNTIL 2005, KOREA HAD LEGISLATION THAT FAVOURED MEN.

THESE ‘HOJUJE’ LAWS ENSHRINED MEN AS THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY AND ENFORCED A PATRIARCHAL SYSTEM OF INHERITANCE.

WHEN THEY WERE ABOLISHED, IT WASN’T A POPULAR MOVE.

 17:08:13 there are still preconceived patriarchal perspectives that have not been reformed. The government is trying to control these inappropriate cases. 17:08:38

AND HAD THIS MAGAZINE TAKEN OFF THE SHELVES FOR ITS OFFENSIVE COVER.

Pailin: Have the attacks gotten worse since the Gangnam murder?

07:14:47 Ori

It’s gotten much worse. It’s much more extreme now. It used to be that they would call us whores, but it changed to “I’ll find you, rape you and kill you.” 07:15:10

12:21

BETWEEN ORI AND HER FRIENDS, THEY HAVE HAD MORE THAN TEN THOUSAND MISOGYNISTIC COMMENTS DIRECTED AT THEM ONLINE.

THE ATTACKS AREN’T JUST INTIMIDATING.

THEY FORCE JEONG TO RELIVE PAINFUL EXPERIENCES.

12:38

JEONG MINJOO

07:11:38 those comments brought back memories of being sexually abused. I relived those moments thinking, “The person who abused me was thinking these things. These were the things he dreamed of when he touched my body.”07:12:12

12:59

JEONG (7:11:10) HAS FILED MORE THAN 30 DEFAMATION SUITS AGAINST HER ONLINE ATTACKERS WITHOUT SUCCESS.

IN RESPONSE, SOME RADICAL FEMINISTS BEGAN TARGETING MEN.

SENDING THE SAME KIND OF ABUSIVE INSULTS AND GRAPHIC IMAGES.

THEY CALL IT MIRRORING.

CARD 6

PAILIN: What are you trying to achieve mirroring?

07:40:19- ORI

Shock? Shock therapy?07:40:21 

07:41:54 ORI

Women’s have always been passive and introverted. This was required of them.

07:42:03 - 07:42:28 ORI

And it felt good to do the opposite. Rather than trying to hurt men through mirroring, it was so we could feel liberated.

7:32:48

Pailin: Do you think that the attacks for men affect their lives as much as women?

07:33:00

Not at all. That’s impossible. 

07:33:04 - 07:33:11

They feel bad for a little while, then it’s over. I don’t think they would feel threatened at all.

11:48:50

Fundamentally Korean society makes men miserable. There’s a lot of societal pressure put on men and sacrifices required of men… like  military service.

[02:32:37.18] It’s an important job, so he does his best.

[02:32:42.18] He works twice as much as I do.

[02:32:45.09] It may seem like I do more work than he does.

[02:32:48.19] But in reality he does more work.[02:32:51.22]

I ASK CHOI WHY KOREA NEEDS MEN’S RIGHTS WHEN WOMEN EARN AROUND 30 PERCENT LESS AND ARE THE MAJORITY VICTIMS OF VIOLENT CRIME.

[03:42:06.13] Feminists in Korea always mention these statistics.

[03:06:31.02] Women are being seduced by the press to victimize themselves.

AS FOR ATTACKS AGAINST FEMINISTS?

HE SAYS IT IS THE RESULT OF MEN BEING DISEMPOWERED.

CARD 14

18:58:03

The most common way misogyny is expressed is violence. But in daily life, women are discriminated against during job recruitment. Women are told to be responsible for childbirth while being criticized for pregnancy affecting their work. 18:58:35 It affects all aspects like the recruitment process, promotion, salary, everything. 18:58:45

18:51:00-18:51:18

In order to solve violence, we need to educate people on gender equality. Putting focus on how to make our society more equal. Making policies with this in mind.
