Accommodating Patriarchal Rich People at the Expense of Others is Unsustainable

"The reality? Women in South Korea face the most dramatic gender pay gap of any OECD nation and suffer one of the highest female homicide rates in the world. Women endure insidious cycles of trauma and hopelessness through sexual violence and ineffective law enforcers, and face unattainable beauty standards, even after winning three Olympic gold medals. Moreover, they face a perpetual glass ceiling in the job market and severe underrepresentation in positions of corporate responsibility. 

Yet, many men see women as greater threats to economic mobility and societal welfare than the richest and most corrupt of Korea’s elites."
