Sponsor Message In recent major elections, young South Korean men and women have consistently shown around 15 to 30 percentage points' difference in their support of the main political parties. Many of the young feminists are the first generation of South Korean women who are more educated than their male peers, as women's college enrollment rates started to exceed men's in 2008. "It's not like 20-something men are hurting 20-something women's chances," Seong says, arguing young men are unfairly blamed for older generations' faults.
