Here is part of the thread
I am Korea Feminist. Please Don’t ask Korean men about feminism. In South Korea, women who support feminism are targets of cyberbullying. We face daily layoffs and digital sexual assault. In severe cases, assault or even murder. So South Korean women hide their beliefs to survive
This is why men and pickme girls say there are fewer 4Bs in Korea. Many women who practice 4B have to hide their beliefs from anti-feminist in order to avoid being killed. In Korea, it is impossible to have positive conversations about feminism offline.
Please don’t ask Korean men about Korean feminism. All Korean men are extremely anti-feminist. Korea is a femicide country. In Korea, if a woman has short hair, she may be assaulted and not hired. If you’re curious about Korean feminism, Ask a Korean woman a question on Twitter.
This is evidence to prove my words. The man assaulted her because he thought she was a feminist because she had short hair. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-67330628

On November 19, 2017, a member wrote a post on the WOMAD forum claiming that she had raped an Australian boy.[6][20][21] She uploaded photos and videos allegedly portraying her raping the boy.[18] WOMAD members showed support for the writer, leaving comments saying that they would pay to watch the videos of the sexual assault.
In 2016, multiple posts appeared on the site, claiming that they had killed men with titles such as “I fed men coffee mixed with car antifreeze liquid” and “I killed a man by pushing him into a reservoir”
4B was also explicitly created to be TERF and homophobic. Worst Korea is the torchbearer to the brand of white feminism that was more enthusiastic than the Klan for lynchings. There is an entire blood-libel industrial complex in the west of whitewashing these “feminists” and villifying all Korean men. Mostly salty white guys and self-hating diaspora Asians.
These people and all the incels hanging out on the South Korean 4chan equivalents are a great example of why lolbertarian freezepeech internet forums are literally poisonous to a society. Any sane society should line the streets with the hanged bodies of bazingas. Decorate highway signs with the skulls of techbros.

There is something ironic about these two sentences in succession.
4b is radical feminism and based on bioessentialism. The movement is explicitly trans-exclusionary and transmisogynistic. The Cut article literally says as such.
what? this is the first time i’m hearing of it, do u know any movements that are trans-inclusive in SK?
I don’t have much knowledge of trans-inclusive feminist movements in Korea, unfortunately (and I can’t read Korean where most of this discussion happens). I read a post from a Korean transfeminist responding to the 4b movement who basically said that she and other trans women in SK have dealt with violent transmisogyny in women’s liberation spaces. Of course there are transfeminists and queer organizations in SK, but this is the extent of what I know.
Yeah I always got the feeling that this movement was reactionary considering the driving force was “just say no (bi)”
A movement without intersectionalism and class analysis is just fodder for western new sites to make orientalist headlines about asian baby crisis for the 100th time while neoliberalism cripples the country further while alt right groups grow.
No wonder Kim Jong Un abandoned this country.
Libs will applaud “The Handmaid’s Tale” as brilliant cautionary fiction yet that type of shit is happening right now in countries that we helped rebuild after devastating them in wars.
Cuold someone who still has access to twitter unroll this?
Thank you. That’s really grim. I vaguely knew about the miserable oppression of Korean beauty standards, and some gender gap issues, but the 4b movement is new to me. Gonna go do some reading.

To put it mildly, holy shit. It sounds a lot like second wave political Lesbianism.
Are there any good resources for reading about the state of feminism in the DPRK?
