-- its normal conversation here - usually we put the reason on - 헬조선: http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_Joseon - also - there is a big problem with a gender clash - women are learning about modern feminism - rejecting traditional system - young men are not accept it - it causing a lot of tension - more women tell me - i prefer to die alone than have traditional Korean husband - many of my Ewha ("feminist university") friend won't wear school brand clothes for fear of assault - https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaenam --

The problem is not korean men being traditional. The problem is korean culture where koreans take everything to the extreme. Women included.

Koreans tend to force everything by overdoing it, thinking they might change things overnight.

I knew this would be referenced :) but that's the main reason it wont work. Good things take time.
What's a "traditional Korean husband"?
-- complicated - patriarchal - more intense than many cultures - its common to hear a Korean man say - the woman needs to be in her place - or - i own my wife as i own my car --

Are South Korea and Japan similar?

What a terrifying read, it sounds like the mouse utopia experiment that lead to a mice hell is happening in Korea.
