‘A woman is not a baby-making machine’: a brief history of South Korea’s 4B movement – and why it’s making waves in America
In South Korea, a growing number of young women are rejecting expectations of marriage, motherhood and heterosexual relationships, known as the ‘4B Movement’ or the ‘4 Nos’.
It's interesting to read about south Korea feminist issue, men feel in disadvantage because they have mandatory conscription so they spend 1 or 2 years in the military and because of that woman have a "head start" in career and university, how to fix it? I don't have any idea but it's a interesting problem
Have the women serve in the military too? Make it one year since you’d have twice as many people?
Having twice as many people is a problem. The training system would have to be able to handle twice as many people. Cutting service in half doesn't work quite right either. If training takes 3 months 2 years of service gives you a productive soldier for 21 months but one year only gives you 9 months. Even if you double it to represent the personnel increase you get only 18 months of productive service. You end up with less productive, more expensive people who gain less experience.
It doesn't get better if you keep everything else the same and double the number of people. Payroll costs double and you need to maintain twice as much equipment, housing, supplies, etc.
While these issues definitely need to be discussed, this seems like a movement with an expiration date. Primarily because if these women are not having children, then their ideas are not likely to continue to propagate into the next generation. It also seems as though some men would be extremely reluctant to even approach a woman anymore because the interaction is so fraught with danger.

Guess what: ideas AREN'T congenital. You can adopt them no matter if you're genetically related to anyone espousing them. They're not encoded into your DNA.

Sounds like manosphere gaslighting
Women: "we have rights and we won't put up with you violating them"
Toxic men: "it's not safe to be a man near women anymore!" 🙄
