Idaenam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  (Redirected from )

Idaenam (Korean: 이대남; Hanja: 二代男),[1] abbreviated from Isipdaenamja (Korean: 20대 남자; Hanja: 二十代男子; lit. man in his twenties), is a term used in South Korea to refer to men in their 20s with negative tendencies toward feminism.[2] The term first emerged in the late 2010s. Its antonym is Idaenyo (Korean: 이대녀; Hanja: 二代女), abbreviated from Isipdaeyoja (Korean: 20대 녀자; Hanja: 二十代女子; lit. woman in her twenties).[3]

Views[]

Idaenam have a negative tendency toward feminism. They have been compared to "Angry Young Men" in Susan Faludi's 1991 book Backlash.[4] Idaenams are strongly opposed to misandry (Korean: 남성혐오 or 남혐).[5]

In 2021, a survey by National Human Rights Commission of Korea found that 70 percent of men in their twenties opposed affirmative action for women.[6] Many Idaenam believe that the gender quotas are discriminatory.[7]

Anti-feminism in South Korea is more pronounced among high-income young men.[8] In addition, according to statistics from 2021, men in their twenties and thirties ("Idaenam") are less receptive to LGBT rights than men in their 40s and 50s ("386 Generation male"), but more than men above the age of sixty.[9]

Idaenam in South Korean politics[]

The Idaenam phenomenon is a form of social backlash similar to the Western "angry white man", but this often leads to political conservatism or populism (Including both left and right sides). The JoongAng Ilbo, a South Korean centre-right publication, reported that Lee Jun-seok, the current leader of People Power Party, uses anti-feminist investigations to win the votes of Idaenam.[10]

South Korea's liberal Moon Jae-in government has implemented a more feminist policy than the previous conservative government, and men in their 20s have severe antipathy against it.[11] Yoon Suk-yeol of right-wing conservative People Power Party and Lee Jae-myung of liberal Democratic Party of Korea, the main candidates for the 2022 South Korean presidential election, are controversial for taking a negative attitude toward feminism to win the votes of Idaenam.[3] Centrist conservative-liberal People Party's Ahn Cheol Soo criticized Yoon and Lee for promoting misogyny in awareness of Idaenam.[12] In particular, South Korean right-wingers and social conservatives are trying to make Idaenam their main supporters by actively attacking feminism.[11][13][14]

Presidential candidate (Yoon Seok-yeol) pledged to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and strengthen the "crime of defamation" of sexual violence. It is said that the women's quota system, which did not exist much for gender equality, should be abolished. This is a really lazy and mean political strategy riding on misogyny. ... Just as Trumpism has gathered young white men, anti-feminism has now gathered young men in South Korea as a political force. It is certainly not yesterday or today that hatred has been used as a political strategy. When hatred spreads like wildfire in society, the vested structure created by vested interests is replaced by conflicts between the socially disadvantaged.]
