Korean Olympic gold medalist faces misogynistic attacks because she cut her hair short
In another chapter of misogyny in S. Korea:
Archer An San wins 2 gold medals at #TokyoOlympics.
Meanwhile, online male communities: SHE HAS SHORT HAIR, SHE'S A F*CKING FEMINIST!
There's now an online movement demanding to protect players and investigate malicious comments. https://t.co/TYCAyMb5Jv

What’s happening in Korea:
An Olympic gold medalist is being cancelled, cyber bullied by toxic misogynists because of her short hair which apparently means she’s a feminist, and asked to return her gold medal. #Olympics #Tokyo2020 #feminism #archery #안산선수를_향한_테러를_멈추라 pic.twitter.com/DoBrFd3Gps

20 year old An San, part of the Gold medal winning women's archer team and mixed archer's team, at Tokyo Olympics 2020, has been facing misogynistic attacks from Korean incels, because, she cut her hair short. Yes, you read it right. Apparently, if a woman cuts their hair short and is a fan of Mamamoo, a kpop girl group, they are a feminist. Feminism is the greatest crime that a South Korean woman can commit, as per the easily harassed egos of Korean men. They have asked her to return her gold medal (lol), but most worryingly, they have started a witch hunt against her, calling up Korean Archery Association. Korean women started sharing their own short hair photos to support her.
