View submission: Male victimhood ideology driven by perceived status loss, not economic hardship, among Korean men

And? Did you not read everything I said?

if you believe that "if you work hard, you can be successful," lie of capitalism, then all you are going to see is that you are disadvantaged.

And, there is no data that I could find that breaks down wage gap among peers, only the total average. And for a country that has gone through such radical social and economic changes. And given South Koreas start of this change was from a very patriarchy society, I don't doubt that the wealthiest of people are men. But those just entering the job market may see something else very different.

But this is all conjecture and why I didn't comment on it before. I'm not an expert on Korea, but know enough to recognize that bit of missing and important information from the article.

Broken down by age group: Chart

Men lead in every single age cohort. So I just don't want to hear that men are economically disadvantaged by military service. They're not.
