@narcissus_jin Why aren’t more people talking about this?? I’m part way through season 1 and every time the portrait shows up I’m like tell me why it’s literally his face ???😂😂😂
@SciPoli82210310 …or who should be conscripted. It’s about ways to incentivise people to have more children younger. End of the day, this policy is much more likely to pass in the near future, rather than conscription being revised. That’s why it’s the priority to discuss it.
@SciPoli82210310 As you say, because it’s objective is to increase the birth rate? Conscripting women also would only further decrease the birth rate. The conscription issue is very complex and important to discuss, but this specific policy is not about whether conscription should exist…
@SciPoli82210310 …didn’t exist, then we wouldn’t be facing the current problem. But the conscription issue isn’t going to be solved soon, meanwhile policies like this are currently being proposed. So the pressing concern is the significant impact it would have on S.K. women. /end/
@SciPoli82210310 …do you raise awareness about the unfairness of conscription independent of discussion revolving around women’s rights? Because that’s the thing to do. Otherwise it only derails a conversation about women’s safety. I understand the perspective that if conscription… /3/
@SciPoli82210310 @AquaticPenguin And although yes, conscription is unfair and disadvantages men, the answer is not to also conscript women. Women are already hugely disadvantaged in patriarchal S.K., in basically every way except the military. It’s one of the main reasons that the birth rate is so low. /4-end/
@SciPoli82210310 @AquaticPenguin …about conscription being unfair to men, this distracts from important conversations about what is actually being proposed by Yoon’s government. /3/
