skimcasual:skimcasual:camschvz:dejawa-me:May 17, 2016, dawn, in KOREAA 23-year-old woman was brutally murdered by a man whom she have never met before.The reason he killed her is because he got ignored SOCIALLY.He expressed his anger by killing an innocent woman randomly.The point is that she was killed just because she is a FEMALE.However, Korean media is not covering this crime seriously.Because crimes similar to this happen frequently.This is a serious female violence and a social problem.Please mourn this woman.Please bring attention. We all have a right to live in a secure world.Taken from Nayoung Kim:“This is Gangnam, today. Gangnam is a bustling main street area in Seoul, South Korea, similar to Times Square in New York City. I grew up here.On the night of Tuesday, May 17, 2016, a 23-year-old woman was brutally stabbed to death with a 12-inch knife in a unisex bathroom. She had been enjoying a night out in Gangnam with her boyfriend and friends. The police arrested a 34-year-old man who confessed that he had been waiting inside the bathroom to kill any woman that walked in, because he hated women for ignoring him.The mainstream media described this murder as a freak incident, a random killing committed by a deranged individual. Worse, many people blamed the woman for having been out drinking at night. Many others empathized with the murderer’s hurt feelings.Feminists are naming this murder a femicide (woman killing/gender-based crime), one among too many. We recognize the connection between this woman’s murder and the murders of other women, more than a hundred women murdered by male partners every year in South Korea, hundreds of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls in Canada, hundreds more violently killed in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, women who lost their lives in the Montreal Massacre, and countless others on this planet, past, present, and future.We will remember her death.We will fight back.We will not give up.”-“The man held on charges of murdering a 23-year-old woman told the police that the crime was motivated by his hatred for women.”There’s big big problems right now in Korea against Korean women. First, the news outlets were not reporting this incident or gave it absurd titles such as “woman killed by man dreaming to become a pastor” or “woman found dead by boyfriend in public bathroom” and didn’t call it a male crime against women. Second, men reacted to this on these articles with “that’s why women shouldn’t be out at night” or “what was she doing at that bar” or “women have to be careful” or “maybe the man had his reasons”, “women should be nicer”…Outrageous, outrageous comments.This isn’t the first time this has happened either. There was another murder in this area just a year ago. Women have always been blamed for existing for their own murders there.There was also hastags created to divert attention from the man’s attitude “#bathroomgirl” to which Korean twitter reacted with “#gangnamMurderMAN” and “#isurvived” because it could have been anyone this guy murdered.He had waited for over an hour at a woman’s bathroom with a knife, waiting for a woman to murder. She didn’t even know him.DON’T TELL WOMEN AND GIRLS TO BE CAREFUL. TELL MEN TO NOT MURDER WOMEN. 남자는 기가 죽기만 여자는 죽는다.Nearly 85% of victims of violent crime in Korea are Korean women. -- source link
