South Korean man attacks shop clerk he thought was a feminist

A South Korean person was detained for attacking a female convenience store employee late at night because he believed the woman to be female.

CCTV images showed the man, who was in his 20s, punching and kicking the woman after evening as he entered the store in the south-eastern area of Jinju.

Another client who was in his 50s and attempted to engage was likewise assaulted by him.

According to the officers, he attacked the girl because of her short mane and mistook her for a female.

You may be a feminist because you have little hair. According to police remarks made by the Korea Herald news,” I’m a female bigot, and I believe women deserve to get assaulted ,” he told her.

He persisted in attacking until officers arrived on the scene and stopped him. According to the officials, he had recently been diagnosed and treated for dementia while intoxicated.

South Korea is often rated as one of the worst industrially developed nations for working ladies due to its lack of sex justice.

In recent years, anti-feminist sentiment has also grown, especially among young men who believe that slow prejudice has harmed them.

The lady, who was in her 20s, sustained critical ear and ligament injuries following the attack on Friday, but she was not in a life-threatening condition, according to police. After being struck by a head, the intervening client even sustained fractures to his face and shoulders.

According to police, they requested a subpoena on Sunday to keep the alleged offender in prison.

In South Korea, where many misogynistic commentators associate the hairstyle with feminism— a term that has been equated with being a man-hater — women with short, cropped hair have previously been the target of attacks.

Women displayed their little hairstyles in support of an Olympic hunter who won some gold medals at the Tokyo Games in 2021 as part of a nationwide campaign for solidarity. However, the athlete was met with harsh criticism online because of his shorter hair.
