National Debate (2)
No, no.
What kind of talk is that, throwing insults right away.
That's not going to work.
I have to act like a mature adult.
"Before that, let me first confirm something."
"As Minister Yoon Migang said, under the 3.25 Resolution adopted at the UN General Assembly, males have been given the duty to ensure the survival and maintenance of humanity without issues."
"For this, males have been granted rights to their safety, human rights, freedom, international support, and the establishment of a special law regarding marriage and divorce."
"And because the international community approved it in the name of the Republic of Korea, we must follow it."
"And for this, males must fulfill the obligation of mandatory sex five times a day."
"Yes."
"And with this right, males have the right to refuse?"
"Yes."
"And it limits the age of females who can apply for mandatory sex?"
"Yes."
"And it is only for females who have created social value and can take responsibility for children?"
"All correct."
"Then, what about marriage?"
"The new marriage system we males propose is a method of distinction."
"Under the laws before the great upheaval, even if children are born through mandatory sex, they are recognized as common-law marriage, but given the enormous number of mandatory sex required, this is unacceptable."
"So, in the new marriage system, there will be no such common-law marriages."
"Wives who gave birth through mandatory sex and those who gave birth through normal marriage will receive different legal treatment."
"Of course, the children will be the same."
"And unlike before, the marriage system will not be a system that forms economic communities and fate communities."
"And both men and women will face unprecedented punishments if they commit domestic violence or abuse against children."
"Of course, it will also be a ground for divorce like before."
"And if divorce occurs, all child custody rights will go to the males, and there will be no property division since it was not an economic community."
"And the crime of adultery will be revived even more strongly, and a policy to change the woman's sex to the man's sex through pregnancy or marriage via mandatory sex will also be implemented."
"This is the right that males are demanding through the sacrifice of the obligation of mandatory sex."
"... So, accepting and receiving all these many things from females is actually just the single mandatory sex?"
"Yes."
"Hmm.. When applying for mandatory sex, one can choose the male one wants to some extent."
"I was a fool for trying to say something else."
"That could be."
"What Minister Yoon Migang said is not distinction but discrimination."
"It can be seen that way. But we males think of it as distinction."
"Um... It would be a good way to directly hear the opinions of the male population regarding Minister Yoon Migang's opinion, but..."
"Since the debate has continued without a break for too long, let's take a short break and then listen to the opinions of the male population."
"Everyone, see you later."
The break is 5 minutes.
When I took out my smartphone and entered the live chat room, there was nothing but insults.
Of course there would be.
Because it's words that couldn't be accepted under the common sense of the pre-great upheaval world.
They would think it's unacceptable, absurd, and purely selfish.
What if I can't make them understand this?
Will they hang upside down on the cross here and now?
Will they die from stones thrown at them?
Wow.
Minister, then you could live comfortably behind anonymity that the public doesn't know without getting bad reviews.
But that's not possible.
I'm the one who made the deal.
I have to be the one who does it properly.
By the time the break was ending, upon receiving the author's signal, I walked onto the stage with a strangely light heart.
Why did I become so light-hearted?
What's changed?
I was worried and tormented before today came.
For now, let's think about it later.
The crew handed me the microphone, and I climbed onto the stage.
"Then, let's start the national debate again. Park Seonghun, who will speak as the representative of the males, has come out."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Park Seonghun. Although it's presumptuous, I have come out as the representative of males."
"Then, let's have time to hear the opinions. How do the males think about Minister Yoon Migang's proposal?"
"I think it's an unavoidable choice to adapt to the changed world after the great upheaval."
"..... It seems like Representative Yoon Mirae has a lot to say about this opinion. May I have the floor?"
"Unavoidable choice?"
"Yes. I think that way."
"Why do you think that?"
"It's simple. Because there's no other alternative. I hope all citizens face reality as it is."
"Over 400 million people of the human race have died. Moreover, only a specific gender was exterminated."
"Right now, I was lucky not to die, but I don't know when the sleep virus will recur and kill me."
"Doctors and scientists say 'The male hosts will disappear, so the virus will disappear too.' But who knows."
"If, on the contrary, the disease was one where males survived and females died, humanity would definitely have gone extinct."
"And in South Korea, there are 40 million females and 512 males."
"In this situation, how many of our generation will choose to have children and take responsibility for the children born?"
"In this situation, who can say 'You were born because I decided, and I take responsibility for you.'?"
"What?"
"Let's go with the logic of the dating and marriage market like before the great upheaval? About 50 people would be lucky."
"Even if the problems are solved with the methods the previous panelists mentioned, if no children are born, it's certain that everything made by South Korea will collapse."
"Shall I present specific numbers?"
"About 5.75 million people in South Korea who cannot guarantee survival in 10 years."
"And in the next 10 years, it will grow even more."
"If we continue like this, we'll fall into a clear vicious cycle, and the society called South Korea, which called unification the dream of the nation, will collapse in just 10 years."
"Someone might say this."
"What's the point if the society collapses? It's none of my business."
"But when the society really collapses, won't there be no effect on the individual?"
"Yes."
"Let's assume miraculously there is none."
"Then, will the collapse of the huge society called South Korea not be a problem worldwide?"
"It could have a tremendous butterfly effect, causing the world's societies to regress."
"That's right. Depending on our choices now, we and our descendants might have to become primitive humans again and light a fire with flint."
"Then, what if a society that has settled the chaos somewhere next to us or somewhere in the world invades?"
"We'll definitely be stepped on by military boots again."
"This is the reality our society is facing."
"We have to somehow reorganize the society quickly, reverse the collapsing society, and return to a sustainable society."
"You all know because you worked at military factories during the war."
"And after seeing what males did in the short time, you know, right?"
"Could you buy goods like before?"
"Could you walk outside like before?"
"Could you make choices like before?"
"None of the things we once felt natural in the past have become natural."
"Sociologists say the reason humans could build societies unlike other animals is because they reject today's comfortable life and pursue a better tomorrow."
"We have to do the same now."
"We have to do the same today."
"Otherwise, humanity will perish."
"No. Our society is perishing."
"That's why we have to use such special methods."
"Why the age limit?"
"Because it's not a gentle world where older females can safely give birth."
"The absolute limit of sex that 512 males can do is determined."
"It's not a world with enough leeway to take the risk that one child dies."
"Why the right to refuse?"
"Because as a father, I can't take responsibility for my child and wife like before."
"Why only females who create social value?"
"Because we have to survive in this harsh world."
"Why must they be mature enough to take responsibility for children?"
"To prevent situations where 'it's unavoidable' and abandoning the child in countless hardships."
"Why distinction and discrimination in marriage?"
"We males have decided to take responsibility for the children born through mandatory sex, but that's not enough."
"Children are beings that must be born with the value of responsibility of two adults because they are born by the choice of two adults."
"But in this world, will all children really be born with that value?"
"Through history, we already know what happens to children born through forced means."
"And we already know how children who gave up on being responsible by someone next to them live."
"This is to minimize that."
"Why the male's sex?"
"To make the woman and the child born feel a sense of belonging."
"To prevent us males from giving up."
"To imprint that she is my wife and that child is mine."
"Why is the wife's parental rights restricted and not a fate community or economic community?"
"To prevent the children born from becoming just a means of survival."
"Why no child custody rights for divorced women?"
"Because in this world, males receiving international support are more likely to raise children well."
"I want to say this."
"I cannot not want to sacrifice for a bright future."
"But don't grab the heels of those who came out wanting to sacrifice for a bright future."
It's all nonsense.
It's all just to make themselves look good.
