가까운 자매님이 "메갈 처음본다", "씨발년"등 온갖 욕설과 실제 폭력사건이 일어났습니다. 공론화 부탁드립니다.

This will no doubt be big news tomorrow morning in Korea - a country where being a woman can get you beaten up. Via YTN news#이수역_폭행남 #이수역_집단폭행 #이수역_폭행남 pic.twitter.com/voTLnpXKjj

male reactions to this horrific misogynistic crime:
"they probably did something to deserve it"
"isn't this because they hate feminists and not because they hate women?"#이수역_폭행남 pic.twitter.com/BOUSFWZtsd

many news outlets mention that the two sides have to be heard to make a decision as if a bleeding head along with misogynistic threats isn't enough for us to decide who is the victim and who is the abuser#이수역_폭행남

wait naver's trending #1 was "이수역 폭행남" translating to "Isu Station abusive men" just a moment ago and now it's just "Isu Station"?? wtf is this erasure pic.twitter.com/nocW1CYOx3

An online petition, launched just today, has already garnered over 200,000+ signatures. It reads "Victim(s) attacked just because they had short hair without makeup" #이수역_폭행남 https://t.co/N8vv8KI2aT pic.twitter.com/6W5xvYFOIP

some excellent points made by korean twitter that I wanted to share with y'all:
- while I'm glad the blue house petition has been picked up it's embarrassing that our (korean women) response is to make a petition instead of trusting the police

— Gost (@godspeedos) 14. November 2018

- korean men are commenting after only reading the headline of the Isu station crime and what they say the most is that "what did they [the feminists] say this time?" as if it's okay to beat someone up if women don't say the things they want to hear

i wish i could say i'm surprised tbh i wonder how many more similar incidents have happened that have been swept under the rug---esp given how often women who defend themselves in these cases are considered just as guilty as the men who attack them.

my heart goes out to these women, they should be able to exist in peace. the audacity of man to assume that a woman that doesnt exist for his existence shouldn't exist at all is beyond me. this is engrained sociopathic behavior and it's fucking disgusting.
