Here in South Korea - Both the liberal and conservative party are very conservative. It wasn't until 10-15 years ago that women could even be the "leader" of the house. So the delta in conservative/liberal is more likely to do with economic/war policies with the North than much else (since men get conscripted, and North policies is one of the key differentiators between the 2 parties)

South Korea also has one of the biggest anti-feminism movements in the world. They just eliminated the gender ministry and rolled back protections for women. Not coincidentally, South Korea is Jordan Peterson’s biggest audience outside the US.

The translation of "gender ministry" is completely misleading, I don't know why they made it that in English because that's not what it is. In Korean it's "여성가족부" which means "Woman's family department"

right. Korean politics seem to come down to "aid vs embargo". moon jae in was on the aid side, right? I haven't followed the current prez, what's their deal?

President Yoon is a fascist that got into power by targeting women and disabled people.
