Regarding the feminist controversy raised over Ansan, who won three archery medals at the Tokyo Olympics, a spokesperson for the People's Power said, "The core of this controversy lies in the use of masculine terminology and radical feminism."
People's Strength spokesperson Yang Jun-woo said in a Facebook post yesterday (30th), "Replacing this with an attack on women as a whole is equivalent to sanctuary that radical feminists have enjoyed watching."
Yang's remarks were read as meaning that "Ansan player caused controversy by using misogynistic terminology," and the politicians immediately rebutted it.
Justice Party lawmaker Jang Hye-young said on Facebook today, "Ahn used the word 'male hate' and said yes to the cause of the violence.
Rep. Jang said, "In Spokesperson Yang's writing, there is a nuance that this type of attack is okay if you use the word 'male hate'.
He added, "It is truly deplorable that the scent of McCarthyism is felt in the writings of a young spokesperson for the Republican Party operating in a democratic society."
Jin Joong-kwon, a former professor at Dongyang University, also said on Facebook today, "So, is it the player who didn't make the mistake in the first place?" and "The spokesperson chosen for Lee Jun-seok's debate battle had a major accident. Is this the voice of a spokesperson for the Republican Party?" criticized.
“It was Lee Jun-seok,” he said, adding, “Those who make misogyny as political nourishment should at least be expelled from the public domain.”
In response, spokesperson Yang re-posted on Facebook and countered, "How can my post read 'The fault lies with the players who don't'" and "It's difficult to see only what you want to see intentionally."
A spokesperson for Yang said: "What I'm talking about is a criticism of some politicians who choose only 'shortcuts' in the outbreak of this debate and replace them with 'hate women'," he said. .
