Wave of photos of women with short hair in South Korea in support of Olympic champion

A wave of photographs of women with short hair viralize on social networks in South Korea in support of the South Korean archera An San, Olympic champion in Tokyo-2020, after macho comments against his haircut in which he even asked him to returnYour medals.

At least 6.000 photographs of women have been disseminated, according to the organizers of the campaign.

South Korea has the twelfth largest economy in the world, considered a technological power, but it is still a society dominated by men with a poor history of women's rights.

An, 20 years old, has won in Tokyo-2020 two gold medals in women's team events and mixed archery teams and added 680 points in the individual female classification to break an Olympic record in force since 1996.It points in that test, which is ongoing, to its third golden medal.

Despite his success, messages of men on social networks accused An of Feminist for carrying his hair short accusing her of expressions that are apparently used with misandron nuances in radical feminist communities...They even asked him to "return" his Olympic medals and apologize.

The controversy occurs when an antifminist reaction grows in the country and companies accused of supporting "extreme feminism" face men's boycots and emit public apologies.

"We did not train you or feed you with the tax money to do feminist acts," wrote one of the men on the Instagram account of An.
