If your criteria for selecting a mate is based on having low empathy, low agreeableness, and a preference for prevailing and competing... guess what will happen when you suggest a person with these personality traits to help with house chores, help with taking care of children, etc. What will happen is exactly what is expected to happen based on those personality traits: you will be playing "chicken" all the time wit…
Before reading this I assumed the biggest reason for Korean birthrate decline was that they don't allow enough immigrants, which is how some other developed countries handle it. I've heard only anecdotally from friends about the feminist movements and inequality faced, but the stats in this post sort of make clear the enormous problem of gender inequality in Korea. And furthermore it contrasts Korea with how other de…
Why is this the default solution? Shouldn’t we be asking why - after all these years of technical progress - it is not cheaper and easier to raise a family? Where are all the productivity gains going?
Trying to make women “equal” to men is a ruse to squeeze more labor out of a population. Actual equality could be achieved by fairly disturbing the wealth of the populations labor, but for some reason that option is not considered.
I don't know the situation of South Korea to comment on this topic. But, with the corporate industries talking too much about transparency it seems no one has come to identifying the cause of wage gap. Why not make the salary transparent across the board and the employee performance in public (internal to company) as well? People or Management say it is complicated, but is it really? This company Buffer appeared in H…
A new government now, that want to make it totally open again.
It’s the ‘Norwegian tax administration’ that give out the information.
Media always have full access and can write articles based on it for individuals or groups of people, as long as they don’t publish the whole dataset.
Well. That president was elected by the population. Half of which is female.
And?
* He would never win were it not for the female vote.
* Those doing the four Nos are not representative of the voting females which could otherwise achieve their goals at the ballot box.
* Those who vote against their supposed interests at the election often also vote against their supposed interests when they pick a mate.
My personal conclusion from this is that the biology runs deep in all human beings and many are not aware of it. Our brain is not just our conscious thoughts. We are a product of evolution and what we want is not always what we should want individually. Selfish gene, etc. etc.
Arguably this all started with universal suffrage in NZ in 1919 and I think this is just the most recent iteration.
People used to have hope, but as we are seeing more and more concentration of wealth, and rent seeking everywhere, lack of economic mobility (unless you're a psychopath that will do anything to make money) is the likely path without a major counter-revolution.
We need a voluntary, peaceful and measurably equitable society in order to create a world where people have hope for the future. All of the previous illusions of gods and governments as masters has failed. The only thing left is solidarity with other people qua people, vulnerability, sharing, caring etc... is the only option.

> The repercussions of the so-called “birth strike” have been severe for the country. For three consecutive years, the country has had the lowest fertility rate in the world, with an average of 0.78 children per woman. How much of that can be attributed to the birth strike considering South Korea's fertility rate started its latest downward spiral in 2016 and two out of those three years had heavily-enforced lockdown…
No number or any kind of clue about the size of the movement was given.
