AB - As feminist activism has regained prominence in contemporary Korean society, there have been recent increases in emotional tension and social conflict between young women and young men. In this paper, I consider cases of antifeminism discourse that view feminist activism as unfair and a selfish abuse of state power. It appears that such antifeminist discourse does not simply reject feminism, but additionally places it in an oppositional and contradictory relation to other categories of social justice, such as fairness. In so doing, antifeminist discourse not only undercuts the political radicality of feminism but also deprives the notion of fairness of its sociohistorical significance. Further, antifeminist discourse also replaces gender as a sociocultural structure of oppression and replaces the critical lens of social analysis with a naturalized and essentialized notion of biological differences.
