    I believe it’s a situation where the men tend to want traditional stay-at-home wives to raise their kids, but the women either want to work, or the men don’t make enough to support a stay-at-home wife and raise a kid on their single income (because it can be really expensive relative to wages).

    I’ve read that there’s a lot of… misogyny/anti-feminism movement stuff going on in Korea these days.

      There’s an absolute ton of anti-feminism, to the point where companies actively fire feminists if there’s a stink raised and make statements that the company doesn’t share feminist views. Yes, it’s that fucked.
