65% of Men Say Equality Has Gone โFar Enoughโ โ Women Disagree
A Massive Gender Perception Gap
This survey is really eye-opening! ๐ In a major international study of 29 countries by Ipsos and Kingโs College London, South Korea recorded the SECOND-LARGEST gender divide over whether equality has gone far enough. A whopping 65% of Korean men agreed that โthings have gone far enoughโ when it comes to giving women equal rights. But only 42% of women agreed! Thatโs a 23 percentage point gap โ more than double the international average of 11 points!

Korea Ranks Last in Feminist Identity
Hereโs a striking finding! ๐ The percentage of Korean respondents who disagreed with โI define myself as a feministโ was 74% โ the HIGHEST among all 29 countries surveyed! Only 13% of Korean men considered themselves feminists, ranking dead last globally. Among Korean women, just 28% identified as feminists, second lowest after Japan at 15%. The word โfeministโ clearly carries heavy negative connotations in Korean society.

Korean Men Skeptical About Female Leadership
The leadership gap is also significant! ๐ฉโ๐ผ Only 36% of Korean men agreed that โwomen wonโt achieve equality unless there are more female leaders in business and government.โ Compare that to 52% of Korean women who agreed. Korean menโs support for female leadership was remarkably low compared to their counterparts in other countries. This suggests a fundamental disconnect in how men and women view structural barriers to equality.

But Traditional Marriage Norms Are Fading
Hereโs an interesting twist! ๐ Despite the gender divide on equality policies, both Korean men AND women strongly reject traditional marriage norms. Only 9% agreed that โa wife should always obey her husband.โ The rate agreeing that โa husband should have the final word on important decisionsโ was also relatively low at just 19%. So while they disagree on policy, theyโre actually aligned on rejecting old-fashioned marital hierarchy!

Expert Analysis: Redefining Gender Roles
โHeejung Chung,โ director of the Global Institute for Womenโs Leadership at Kingโs College London, offered a nuanced interpretation! ๐ง โKorea shows one of the worldโs largest gender gaps in perceptions of whether gender equality has been sufficiently achieved, while traditional norms are strongly rejected by both men and women.โ She added that despite growing backlash against official gender equality policies, โthere appears to be a willingness to redefine gender roles in the home and workplace.โ

What This Means for Koreaโs Future
This data paints a complex picture! ๐จ Korea isnโt simply โanti-feministโ or โtraditionalโ โ itโs a society in transition. Men and women agree on rejecting old hierarchies but disagree sharply on whether enough progress has been made. Bridging this 23-point perception gap will require honest dialogue, not polarization. Both sides have valid perspectives that deserve to be heard! ๐
