As I read the Korea article, I was struck by how thoroughly everyone is missing the point!! Number one, why is there zero mention of the industries that are benefitting from the Korean obsession with appearance? Number two, the women do not see that the solution to their very broken society is not to become men, and adopt much of their selfish behaviour. Can you imagine the difference these women could make if they adopted a religious order’s way of doing things? There is no mention of positive values or virtue, just a raging against the, yes obviously bad, societal problems. It’s like a “being selfish” competition.
Yes, you got it in one Olivia. It feels so sad and really self-torturing when you start to think about it. It almost feels like happiness and normalcy aren't even considered a possibility.

Buy a house you don’t really like and redo THAT Bedroom in your spending spree, no???

Wow those are some sobering articles. Thanks for the heads up on the audiobooks - some Richard Armitage always cheers me up.
Richard Armitage is always a good idea.
I also read that article this week on surrogacy and it has haunted me. So sad.
Just so sad on so many sad levels!
