(EARLY ACCESS) Korean girl talks about our feminism video, the H.O.T. concert and more
Added 2018-10-28 13:11:02 +0000 UTCDanny from the Seoul Ep. 8
03:13 - H.O.T. Concert
11:39 - Studying Abroad in America
41:25 - What it's like living as a woman in Korea
This is a special edition of Danny From the Seoul, my bi-weekly podcast. We have never done it in video, but since we have a special guest I thought it would be good to do a video version for uploading on Youtube. Don't worry I will still upload an episode exclusive for the Patrons, this is more of a promo episode for those who are missing out. (I know I'm a little behind schedule again, sorry, I'm going to make up for it this week.)

I totally get what you mean, it's just sad how both sexes expect the same here in Korea. I think thats part of the reason why I rarely get along with Korean women who have been born and raised solely in Korea. And regarding the hickey... don't ask

2018-10-30 03:51:29 +0000 UTCTrue story: I am trying to learn Korean and despite living in Toronto I don't have any Korean friends. I have friends with Korean friends, though, so I asked for my friend K for her friend J's number. I know J has a little baby, and she just moved into my neighbourhood, and you know what people with babies who just moved need? FRIENDS. And HELP. So I texted her and offered to swap babysitting for help with Korean, and she agreed. Will we become friends anyway? Probably. But if we don't we'll still know each other and be good neighbours, and we will have both gotten something we need. And that's my story about how to get a Korean friend. 😝

You didn't even have to change your weird profile pic! 😁 (I am also apparently already following Adrianna!) So the thing about chivalry (where the guy does everything for the girl) is that it's infantilizing to the woman; it makes her like a child. The man may excuse it by saying, "You're just so special, you shouldn't have to do any work," but that puts the woman on a pedestal. Both of these things deny the woman her humanity -- either she is seen as a helpless child or a precious princess, when actually she's a normal, brilliant, annoying, funny, bossy, whatever, complicated human being. And the best relationships are relationships where both people get to be complicated and they are loved for it (not despite it). I think some women demand that kind of treatment because it gives them some power in the relationship when they feel like they're not entitled to ask for what they really want, or they don't know what they really want. So they see the special treatment as a kind of proxy for respect or affection, when it isn't really. Anyway, the real question is, where are you getting those hickeys if you are single?
