AB - This article clarifies the ideologies of heterosexualism toward Japanese and Korean men from the perspective of Critical Discourse Studies through analyzing YouTube comments about #MeToo movement, which has spread across the world since 2017. The ideologies that are found in the data are classified by Ambivalence toward Men Inventory (AMI) of Glick and Fiske (1999). This shows that only Heterosexual Hostility (‘HM(H)’ hereafter) and Complementary Gender Differentiation (‘BM(G)’ hereafter) are found both in Japan and South Korea (‘Korea’ hereafter), As a result of analyzing the data using the legitimation strategy as a frame work, it turns out that sexual abuses are disregarded in Japan whereas in Korea the Pence rule are justified by false accusations of sexual abuses through #MeToo movement and the ambiguity of the abuses that support HM(H). The unsupporting cases could be divided into women’s (sexual) abuse and man’s false accusation. In the case of the former, although the difference between men and women in the perception of abuses and a large number of women’s assaults are seen as a problem both in Japan and Korea, two countries also show a difference with each other such that glorifying and accepting the men’s accusation is viewed as an issue in Japan, whereas ignoring men’s accusation and treating as a freak are viewed as an issue in Korea. In the case of the latter, in Japan the sympathies toward victims of sexual harassments and abuses, and treating the men who are accused as criminals are considered as negative; and also, criticism of victims is legitimized through quotation and standardization of the behavior of victims. On the other hand, in Korea the focus is on whata happens after a calumny occurs, and the severity of the false accusation is emphasized by sarcasm and quotations, and there are the concerns about which victims of sexual harassment and abuse, who suffer disadvantages. Consequently, although the tendency of having concern for women’s assaults and men’s victims is found both in Japan and Korea, the recognition of rape myths of Ohbuchi et. al (1985) is confirmed through affirmation of men’s damages in Japan and support for the Pence rule in Korea. Additionally, regarding men’s false accusations, its potential possibility in Japan and the events after it occurs in Korea are criticized; thus, it is assumed that the gap between the importance of gender sensitivity and the suspicion toward it accelerates the conflict between men and women.
