Why is male chauvinism so prevalent in South Korea? A Korean female archery player won the gold medal but was attacked online because of her short hair. Are you a feminist and don’t deserve the gold medal? After the Korean female archer won the medal, not only did she not receive praise from netizens, she was attacked on the Internet. Just because she was a female athlete, she became the object of ridicule in the eyes of Koreans.

From this Internet incident, we can see that in South Korea, many people still retain relatively traditional ideas, especially patriarchal ideas. When such a thing appeared in my eyes, I seemed very surprised.

Because the idea of ??equality between men and women has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in China, and women even do better than men in some aspects, and it has become a fact that people generally respect women. However, I did not expect that in South Korea, a developed country, patriarchal ideas are still prevalent. . Although this country's technology, culture, and affluence have greatly surpassed many countries, people's thinking and traditional concepts are still at a relatively conservative stage.

I think the root causes of this phenomenon mainly include the following three points.

Point 1: Traditional ideas are deeply ingrained and difficult to change.

South Korea is a country with a long history and traditional thoughts that have always influenced modern Koreans. Although South Korea has the most developed network and the most advanced communication technology in the world, these technological means have not changed the minds of Koreans. Therefore, if traditional ideas are deeply rooted, male chauvinism will prevail, and it will be difficult to change many people's minds.

Second point: The country has not done any work to emancipate the mind in this regard.

Although South Korea has been a developed country for a long time, the country has not liberated the minds of the general public and promoted the concept of gender equality. Therefore, for a long time, male chauvinism has still dominated the ideological concept. Therefore, Korean ladies insist on taking After reaching the gold medal, you will still receive personal attacks on the Internet, and many reasons stem from this.

The third point: the traditional family education model is too backward.

If a country's family education method is very in line with the development of the times, I think the children's ideas will also be in line with the development of the times. On the contrary, Korean family education is very traditional, and few families can be exposed to and embrace the latest ideas. Under such circumstances, traditional concepts will be forcibly instilled into children's minds, allowing children to slowly form such thoughts subconsciously.

Summary: I personally believe that this kind of thinking must be changed, and publicity and education to the public must be accelerated, so as to benefit the overall progress of the entire Korean society. If such thinking is not taken seriously, then the development of the entire society will be very difficult. Slowly, it may even trigger a series of social conflicts.
