Follow up to this post.South Korean archer, An San, becomes the first triple gold medallist at Tokyo Olympics, after winning the gold in the women's individual archery round. She also becomes the first woman, since 1904, to win 3 gold medals in archery, at a single Olympics.



It seems clear that President Moon is acknowledging the recent misogyny An San has been facing:

"Sometimes you have to fight over extreme expectations and discrimination. Sometimes we only see the results, but there is never an easy moment that goes in each process."

President Moon Jaein, congratulated her in his tweet, and also indirectly acknowledged the misogynistic hate she has been receiving (Well I hope, he does something, and these are not just empty words).

Just reading up on some comments in a male dominant online community after An San's victory:

"An San delivered results," "our community is doomed," and "I'll have to be careful being on this website on my phone from now on."

Well, and the incels are finally scared.

I truly hope, finally, there's some public outrage against these incels.
