    Most countries in the world suffer from deeply entrenched misogyny.

      I’m not going to call Korea is a cesspool, but things do seem more desperate there. They’re deep in late stage capitalism(I’m not endorsing NK btw), but still haven’t been disillusioned by the promise and are looking to blame anything else. Somethings not right when Samsung Group accounts for around 22 percent of the GDP.
