In South Korea Sexism Is Doing Just Fine

South Korea is so male dominated that's almost impossible to realize they elected Park Geun hye President.  But, not worry then men are fighting back. For last several months thousands of women have gathered in central Seoul to protest against all types of sexual abuse they must endure. Somehow the tone deaf, ignorant and misogynistic assholes heading the National Police Agency and the Seoul Public Prosecutors office seem unable or unwilling to extricate their  collective heads from their collective asses.

Thousands of women protesting over an epidemic of  illegal spy cam videos being uploaded to the internet and what do these fools focus on? Why the one woman who surreptitiously photographed a nude male model from art school who then posted the photograph online.   

A South Korean court has taken the rare step of jailing a woman for secretly photographing a male nude model, in a case that has sparked accusations of sexism and double standards.
The 25-year-old woman, identified only by her surname Ahn, was sentenced to 10 months in prison by the Seoul western district court and ordered to undergo 40 hours of counselling on sexual violence.
South Korea is in the midst of an epidemic of spycam pornography, where victims are secretly filmed in places such as toilet stalls and changing rooms. A series of monthly protests in Seoul have drawn tens of thousands of people.
The number of spycam crimes reported to police surged from around 1,100 in 2010 to more than 6,500 last year. It is thought many crimes go unreported.
Of the 16,201 people arrested between 2012 and 2017 for making illegal recordings, 98% were men, including school teachers, college professors, church pastors and police officers. Of the 26,000 recorded victims over that period, 84% were women.
