[TS] Starting the Broadcast

“Unni, this is my best.”
“What……”
Early in the morning, I received a contact from Yerin through Discord.
And I received several files.
After confirming their contents, I was shocked the most since the day my gender changed and I became a woman in my life.
“I told you. That I’d do my best for unni.”
“……”
Yerin, what on earth is your true identity?
Not enough with the three titles of golden hands, golden spoon, and high school girl, what secret do you have?
Still, thanks to her, I obtained an unexpectedly powerful weapon.
“I really owe you a big one. How should I repay this……”
“A wish!”
“Huh?”
“Grant my wish next time!”
Chills-!
For a moment, I recalled Yerin’s appearance when we first met, looking blatantly at my chest while saying she had a wish.
I strongly resisted saying it was absolutely not allowed, and Yerin persuaded me saying she’d make a light wish, not that kind of physical contact.
“Alright. But I’m telling you clearly, if it’s a strange wish, it’s invalid.”
“Yes!”
After ending the conversation with Yerin, I urgently looked for Yoon-jae.
The video to be uploaded today was already completed and checked last night, so urgent modifications were needed.
Yoon-jae was puzzled by my sudden request for modification, but soon accepted after confirming the contents of the weapon Yerin sent.
No, he even cheered.
“With this, it’s a huge hit. It’s a very powerful weapon that can shut the mouths of that nuisance group.”
“Then please work hard on the modifications despite the tight time. I think it can give a very strong impact if we put it at the end.”
“It’s the same editing I was thinking of. Okay, I’ll do that.”
The stage is prepared.
Now it’s time for the characters to come on stage.

5 PM.
The fourth video of the HaniTV channel, which attracted the attention of many people, was uploaded.
The number of subscribers that grew over the past three days has already reached 12,000!
The view count of the uploaded video starts rising quickly.
‘Haah… Will it go well?’
I checked and checked again, but I couldn’t help feeling anxious.
After being in a daze for a while, I unconsciously click on the video.
Given the subject matter, I appear in a neat outfit and start with a polite greeting.
I mention various examples of how hard it is for young people to live these days, raising the level of concentration, and then get straight to the point.
“The military service point system, how much do you know about it?”
The military service point system.
It was a system that gave bonus points within a 5% range when veterans took recruitment exams, but it lost effect on December 23, 1999, when it was unanimously ruled unconstitutional by all judges, and from 2001 it was replaced by a system extending the upper age limit for taking recruitment exams.
The people who led this were the Korean Women’s Associations United, 5 students from Ewha Womans University, and a disabled student from Yonsei University, who claimed that this system violated the constitutionally guaranteed rights of equality, the right to hold public office, and freedom of occupation choice, and filed a constitutional complaint.
I understand their position to some extent.
When taking an exam, if you both get perfect scores, you can never win as long as the other side has bonus points, no matter what method you use.
But it was also endlessly selfish.
They talk about equality and fairness while ignoring the two years of time young men spent suffering after being forcibly taken by the state, for their own benefit.
Yes, humans are inherently selfish animals.
So I understand.
They are selfish.
So they made such claims, and the system was abolished by political logic and law.
However, I think.
It doesn’t have to be bonus points.
There are other ways to compensate for those valuable two years of youth.
If it had been during the 60s and 70s when our country was poor and economically not wealthy, I could understand to some extent.
That was a time when all the country’s strength was poured into economic development, so there wasn’t much leeway.
But not now.
We’ve become quite a wealthy country, ranking high globally, and the country’s finances had enough leeway if only politicians didn’t waste it on nonsense.
So why did they have to abolish even the bonus point system while binding young men’s two years with a monthly salary of only 20,000 won at the time?
If there were women and disabled people who considered that system unfair!
And if they even abolished that system because of that!
Then they should have compensated through other methods.
Now that it’s election season, instead of nonsensical promises like giving 30 million won to military veterans, if they had treated them sincerely from before, young men wouldn’t be so angry at the current reality.
“Of course I understand. Humans are selfish, so the politicians at the time probably ignored it because it wasn’t their business. After all, their own children would probably avoid it through public service or exemption, so it wouldn’t matter much to them.”

In fact, looking at public opinion, people were rather in favor of the military bonus point system.
In the 2007 poll, 66% were in favor, in 2008 63% were in favor, and in 2009 60% were in favor.
The 34%, 37%, and 40% excluding those in favor are not all against, half are “don’t know” responses and about half of that is against, so it’s almost a double score in reality.

“Looking at the current situation, it was probably the same back then. Feminist forces colluding with political power would have exerted their influence. Anyway, my conclusion is this.”

I mentioned various examples of military operations abroad.
Basic are countries where both men and women have equal military obligations, and Switzerland, which maintains its military through conscription like us, taxes 3% of income for 10 years as a military tax on those exempt from military service.
They use that money for the welfare of active-duty soldiers.
I think this would somewhat reduce the sense of deprivation felt by both sides.
You don’t like that?
There’s no perfect method in the world.
Satisfaction itself is an emotion that can be felt when desires are fulfilled, but where is there a situation where both sides’ desires can be fully satisfied?
Even if you made 1 billion won in stocks, you’d immediately feel sick if the person next to you made 10 billion won in stocks.
In the end, we have to live by compromising to a reasonable extent on both sides.

“I’m not an expert on social systems, nor am I a genius who can create something overnight. However, as an ordinary person living in Korea, I hope that instead of this endless conflict, we can move forward together through a little compromise.”

The military bonus point system infringes on freedom of occupation choice?
Then it doesn’t have to exist.
Instead, compensate in other ways.
Not with the false promises of politicians who bark populistically during election season, but with sincere methods.
This was my brief opinion on the previous topic.

And next.
In fact, this topic was the main point.
I think opinions might differ somewhat on the previous military bonus point issue due to differences in positions.
So my thought is that it would be good to solve it through methods other than bonus points for existing recruitment exams.
But the increasing proportion of women in police, military, and firefighting.
It’s being expanded under the name of ‘quota system’, and all sorts of corruption, discrimination, and incidents are bursting out within it.

A video plays within the video.
It was a video of a middle-aged male police officer subduing a drunk person and a female police officer next to him just filming with her phone.
After that, videos or materials of similar cases are revealed.
Female police officers are hardly ever assigned to remote rural areas or islands like Ulleungdo.
Most of the hard work is done by male officers on the front lines, while female officers usually work in office jobs or public relations.
Even the female officers who do go to the scene, as you can see in the video, just take pictures or ‘cheer’ from the side.
The term “auto-ke” (automatically female police) didn’t come out of nowhere.

‘Those’ people claim.
We’re not barbarians, why hire police based only on physical ability in the 21st century, there are countless fields where female officers are needed.
That’s right.
There are certainly jobs where female officers are needed.
For example, for issues like sexual harassment or other problems that are difficult to reveal to male officers, it might be easier to confide in female officers.
But other than that?
No matter how much I rack my brain, I can’t understand.
Except for the above, are there jobs where female officers are needed?
This isn’t a gender issue, but an ‘efficiency’ issue.
From the start, there are differences in physical aspects, so in professions like police, military, and firefighters who need to protect and safeguard citizens’ lives, can women perform those jobs better than men?
If there are jobs where women are needed, just hire a small number of personnel for those jobs.
But why create conflict by inserting inefficient female quotas into these important professions, shouting their empty slogans of equality and fairness, which anyone with a bit of sense would judge as strange?

I think there’s room for discussion regarding the previous military bonus points, but this issue is different.
There’s no room for argument.
This is wrong.

There are recent statistics.
Looking at the special promotion rates per 10,000 female and male officers in 2020, female officers had 81 and male officers 67, with female officers overwhelming male officers.
2019 was no different.
76.2 female officers and 57.5 male officers, and in 2013 when the ratio was most skewed, it was 59.3 female officers and 29.4 male officers, more than double.
From 2012 to 2020, the special promotion rate for male officers never exceeded that of female officers even once.
In fact, the ratio isn’t the problem.
If female officers really had such outstanding work performance that many special promotions came out, we should rather expand the ratio of female officers.
But when you analyze the special promotion merit contents for each gender, you grab the back of your neck.
The special promotion merits of male officers are “arrest of important criminals such as robbery and murder”, “arrest of gang for confinement and forced prostitution”, “meritorious arrest of important criminals such as violent rampages”, etc.
On the other hand, female officers are full of vague contents close to wordplay such as “strengthening gender equality and sexual harassment prevention education”, “active administration such as budget savings in building electronic entry/exit list”, “contribution to improving satisfaction through equipment support for managing important events”, etc.
Is this normal?
Shouting for equality and fairness, demanding to increase the ratio of women in public service like female police, female soldiers, female firefighters, but only looking for comfortable work and even enjoying such benefits in promotions?
Isn’t this a case where men can’t help but feel relative deprivation?

“As these statistics accumulate, their forced claims no longer work, so they brazenly reveal their true colors. They say that men have enjoyed benefits and profits for so long, so now it’s women’s turn. I don’t agree.”

I pause for a moment.
And my on-screen self clears my throat and speaks in a strong tone.

“Even if women were discriminated against, it’s not the women of the current generation. Even if men discriminated, it’s not the men of the current generation. So I don’t understand why young women of the current generation who weren’t discriminated against appear wearing the mask of feminists and demand compensation. The ones who should receive compensation are our grandmother and mother generations.”

After that, the video fades out with thanks for listening to my brief thoughts and personal opinions.
But there’s still about 3 minutes left.
The screen brightens again and shows me changed into comfortable clothes.
I was smiling brightly.
And I raise my right hand to point slightly at the top of the screen.
Bold font letters that have taken their place there.
[List of Lawsuit Targets]

“Hello, this is Hani. I’m sorry to announce such an unpleasant matter at the end of the video. But you all know how much I’ve been harassed and bullied this whole week by that café with that inclination called Women’s Era.”

Here, the point is to slightly bow my head with trembling eyes and voice in anxiety.
I emphasize that I am the victim, and how malicious the Women’s Era café is for bullying me without any particular reason.

“But as if heaven helped! An insider from that café decided to make a conscience declaration and help me. Thanks to that, I received materials such as secret posts slandering me and internal conversations, and I’m going to file a lawsuit based on those materials.”

With another hand gesture, 8 nicknames appear.
And I on the screen look at their misdeeds printed on A4 paper in my hand.

“Just reading a few, ‘HannamIsOut’ posted something like this. ‘I wonder how many special members that bitch Hani has actually met? She must be busy selling her body!’ Well, I’ll answer that when we meet at the police station.”

I read through every single post and content written by all 8 people without missing anything.
The taste of revenge is truly sweet.
The satisfaction was even greater as I anticipated the reactions of the Women’s Era café that would be burning up.
The 8 individuals who will be sued will tremble in fear, and those who just threw stones at me for fun in agreement with them will quickly delete comments and such while being cautious.

“… That’s all. These 8 people who posted such content.”

I push the A4 paper to the side and bring my gaze back to the front of the screen.
Though covered by a mask, I on the screen was smiling brightly.

“Let’s meet amicably at the police station. See you then!”

Bow-!
Slowly lowering head.
And the screen darkening.
The video ended.
