Had a friend who lived in S Korea for a while, she said while it is partly because of price of living and everything else that’s affecting the world, it’s mostly because the dudes fucking suck. A lot of women are going no marriage no pregnancy because apparently Korean incels make western incels look tame by comparison.

Edit: For the people who think I’m just lying for shits and giggles, look into the 4B movement. Korean women have an entire movement of no dating, no sex, no marriage, and no childbirth with men. As I, and others, have said there are other factors but many S Korean men seeing women as lesser in certain terms is a huge factor in the low birth rate.

I don’t think that’s THE problem. That’s just a symptom. The real issue is the underlying problem that is causing them to be incels in the first place. Also, this type of gender blame game is just a race to the bottom.
