President Yoon Suk Yeol's assertion that feminism is to blame for South Korea's low fertility rate ignores deep-seated gender inequality and systemic discrimination.
Despite billions spent on pronatalist policies, South Korea still faces the world's lowest fertility rate, indicating a disconnect between government efforts and real societal needs.
The historical context of anti-natalist policies, along with harmful societal preferences, has greatly diminished the number of women available for childbearing in South Korea.
Yoon's proposal to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality reflects a troubling disregard for the systemic discrimination that affects women's family planning decisions.
