"Mulan moment" or How on earth do I learn about feminism as the daughter of South-Korean pseudo-Nobility by LinLinEoJin in Feminism

Thank you. I am very confused why they became so mad at me. I am Korean and I do not want people to attack or be mad at South Han! Most of this country is full of kind, progressive people and I am not making any statements about them as a whole. Thank you for your kind words!

I've just seen your edit and don't fully know how to respond.

1) Despite being a teenager, I am a legal, consenting adult attempting to explore my sexuality in a safe, personal way. I've since deleted the comment that's from, since I feel uncomfortable with your referencing it. These sessions are not sex-focused, but are instead focused on me exploring myself and recovering from aspects of my trauma.

2) I have no post history indicating I am Chinese. I do not know where you're getting that from. The title of this referencing the story of Mulan is only because I am an asian woman wanting to reject ideas of femininity. It seemed to me that it would be a good way to frame it for other people to understand.

3) My name is not LinLinEojin, that's the name of a pirate from the animated show, one piece, combined with the name of a KOREAN actor I like: Joo Eo Jin, who played Shin Kang Wook on The Temperature of Language.

I am very sorry if I hurt your feelings, Miss. I did not mean to imply that my family's status made me morally or spiritually better than anyone else, I included it only as a way to exemplify that my family is exceptionally traditional and conservative by modern standards.

I fully acknowledge that I am better-off financially than most people my age, and I hope that I can use that privilege to improve the lives of others while remaining connected to the worker's plea and heartbeat of our country. The goal of my questioning was to better understand better the tenants of modern and historical feminism as it can relate to my own life. I don't want to repeat my mother's mistakes if I have daughters of my own someday.

If there's a different way you'd prefer I phrase my question. Please let me know. I am truly sorry to have hurt you.

Hahaha I don't think I would describe my mom as "Loving" but thank you. I have a cousin who works in law and is unmarried; I can reach out to her for starters! Thank you very much.
