Just read that Yoon Suk-yeol has won the election. His campaign was based on an appeal to those “me first” entitled voters. He has also obstructed the reform of the prosecution (refer to Forest of Secrets). I’m fearing this won’t be good for South Korea’s journey towards gender equity and accountability. I hope I’m wrong.
Just read this in the Korea Herald, “By gender, Yoon outpaced Lee with 49.5 percent of male voters and Lee led among women voters with 49.6 percent.” An appeal to populism always works (my tone, bitterly ironic).

“Me first” as the antifeminist answer to “Me too” makes me both want to cry and to kick those idiots in the shin. Yikes!
