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.

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.
