What happened in the US in 2014? Why did the proportion of crimes solved decline in the US?
Edited to add: What makes South Korea different from Japan or Taiwan in terms of backlash to feminism? I know that the countries are different, but it seems to me that much more must be going on in South Korea for it to have the dynamics that it does, and that are not seen nearly so strongly in other democratic countries in Asia.
My guess is because South Korea saw feminist movements pursue explicit discrimination against men in the form of quotas in government and workplaces. When feminist movements support eliminating discrimination (e.g. anonymizing interviews, investigating companies that have higher callback rates of one gender when given identical resumes) backlash is a lot less likely than when feminist movements actively encourage discrimination against men.
Alice, huge fan of your writing and podcast. In addition to condemning violence against women, I think it is helpful if there is a visible system of harsh enforcement and punishment against men who violate these norms. Not all men require this to internalise the difference between right and wrong, but enough do to make it necessary to really root out an evil. For example, we might recognise that improving crime clearance rates and passing longer minimum prison sentences may be important protections for women, even if this costs a lot of money.
Interesting. You might have a point here, but research on the efficiency of longer prison sentences do not make for conclusive findings. There is the idea that enforcing prison does not necessarily change behaviour on a societal scale, at least not where the norms are not clear to all involved. More to read in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carceral_feminism , a critical description of a certain politics. I personally believe that state response can be handled different in different national circumstances. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0277539523001073 All the best.
Western feminism is more concerned with promoting female CEOs,even against their preferences,than women's rights and safety across the globe.
