Androgyny on the Rise in South Korea
Re: Korean Gender Roles Collapsing
The above survey, which reports that "between the ages of 17 and 39, 66.7 percent of men and 57.3 percent of women were categorized as "androgynous'", seems a bit flawed. Nevertheless, I cannot really disagree with the results, at least when it comes to fashion and hair-style. I started teaching Korean university students in 1996. Then, every male Korean student, to a man, had short, neat, natural black hair. Today, the majority dye, tease, or perm their hair. Some even wear hair-bands!

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
