Conservatives are into controlling people and mostly controlling women. If anything is surprising, it is that there are any women conservatives at all. This is also very similar to religions that treat women poorly. Why are any woman part of those religions?
Fear? Indoctrination, social pressures?
Stockholm syndrome
Subjectification. People normalise what's normal for them.
Socialization
Went nuts dating these last 5 years, went out a lot. Even in this very conservative area, women will quickly want to know if you're a Trump supporter. Or, they refuse to say a word about politics for fear a man is MAGA.
And it's not always because of their personal politics! They've tried to be openminded, but conservative guys tend to be assholes. These women have been argued with, screamed at and abused, sometimes physically.
I have no idea how you get a decent dating pool if you don't hide your conservatism. Worked out for me though!
Well South Korea looks like a barrel of laughs if you're in a relationship...
That's a gender gap I can get behind!
You're excited about this? Like it's a competition you want women to win?
I'm joking. However if it's a competition, I'd definitely root for women to win this one.
OK, so what was going on in the world around 2010 that caused such a sharp rise in women becoming more liberal?
FTA:
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.
Your question is answered in the fucking article. Read.
That doesn't spark a conversation in the post. Learn.
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.
OK, bonehead
Reddit is here.
No need to be this salty.
Jesus Christ South Korea. That divide is insane.
That's good. Liberal women are hot.
not sure that's the most important conclusion to draw from the article
Bold of you to assume they read the article.
There's no such thing as a "hot liberal"; liberals are inherently spineless and milquetoast. Revolutionaries are hot, but the west doesn't really have those anymore. The FBI had all of them shot, incarcerated, or exiled decades ago.
