Moon Sori stated, “Throughout college, I avoided feminist clubs and senior women’s activists. But living in South Korea has made me a feminist, there was no way I couldn’t become one,” she said, adding, “I even confessed to my husband that I am a feminist.”
She continued, “One day, I realized I had become a feminist. It’s not about supporting one gender and disliking another, but about opposing discrimination in politics, economics, society, and culture,” she explained. “Though feminism is derived from the feminine, and therefore carries a feminine meaning. However, the goal is to oppose discrimination against anyone, regardless of gender, so naturally, that’s the direction I went.”

+I’m not posting this to criticize, but because I agree with the part about society making women into feminists! I’ll leave the title as it is for now.
-I agree. It's the society that makes things this way.
-Yeah, I used to avoid feminist-related topics because they made me uncomfortable, but reality has made it impossible not to care.
-Isn’t being a feminist the default for women?ㅋㅋㅋ
-Is there any woman who isn’t a feminist?
-I understand what she's trying to point out! I used to not have any interest in feminism, but society forces me to pay attention. I didn't realize that it was a necessity.
-I’ve lived my life believing women deserve the same rights. Why do men in Korea have such an issue with feminism? Yeah, I’m a feminist. What are you going to do with that?
-I used to criticize feminists in high school (I'm sorry. It's my dark past). But after going to college, meeting classmates, attending gender studies lectures, and taking related classes, I became a feminist. Moreover, the society made me into one.
-I totally relate. I didn't even know what feminism means, I wasn’t interested in feminism at allㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I didn’t know back then. All women are feminists.
-I used to think, "Why fight?" But society shaped me into this.
-Isn’t it natural for a woman to be a feminist? Any reasonable man should be one tooㅋㅋ If you’re not a sexist, why would you get mad at the word 'feminist'?
-I agree. I dislike extremism but in the end... I don't want to be discriminated against either.
-I agree... I think I'm more of a humanist. But for humanism to work in this country, feminism has to come first.
-That's true... As you live, you naturally become a feministㅎ
