what a moron

Korea Communications Commission Chairman Choi See-joong told a group of female reporters last week that women should stay at home rather than having a job and just being a good mom and wife contributes to society.

Saying that his two daughters got married as soon as graduating from Ewha Woman’s University, women’s mission should be based on home, otherwise there is no way to resolve this low birthrate problems, he said.

So he basically echoed this repetitive claim, which has been made again and again by many men in Korea, that working women are solely responsible for the country’s record-low birthrate, and they should stay at home and have more babies!!!

Wow, I knew that many helpless old ajussis often make that kind of ridiculous charges, but how dare he spoke that in front of FEMALE REPORTERS?

Facing a barrage of criticism by women activists groups and female reporters, he made a public apology three days later, and again the next day he tried to appease angry women, saying “I have total respect in and support for the value of women’s participation in the workforce and sex equality…and will try to make a social environment where women can juggle work and family.”

If he is not alone in this absurd mind-set, Korea has a really long way to go. This makes me really sick.
