Strange customs in the world: Why are North Korean women banned from wearing pants?

North Korean women should be rare, but we can see its neighbor South Korean women on the screen. Speaking of South Korea, it should be regarded as a trend indicator. There is a "Kazakh and Korean" trend blowing all over the world. Then North Korea, as a neighbor, should be similar. If you think this way, you are wrong. In North Korea, women are not allowed to wear pants. Why? Xiaobian tells you the answer.

As two neighboring countries, North Korea and South Korea have many similarities in customs, customs and culture. However, there are still certain differences in the beautiful women of the two countries. Cosmetic surgery is popular in South Korea. The faces of South Korean actresses are very similar. They are all very beautiful, with bright clothes, big eyes and high noses of bridges. However, the North Korean women next to them are completely different. They wear simple clothes and rarely make up, maintaining a simple and original ecology.

Kim Il Sung once said: "Pants are for men." Therefore, in North Korea, no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, North Korean women will respond to the leader's call and resolutely wear only skirts and no pants. Of course, in the middle of winter, smart lesbians will wear cotton pants under long Korean skirts to withstand the severe cold. Korean women, on the other hand, are relatively freer, and their fashionable clothes lead Asian trends.

There is an interesting anecdote that when China and Japanese women living in North Korea get to the street, there is probably an old Korean lady running over quickly, grabbing her at lightning speed, and scolding loudly: "Tongfu (In North Korea, people call people who are at the same level or lower than themselves as comrades, and people who are higher than themselves as comrades), can you wear pants as a woman?" In comparison, Korean women are much happier. In summer, Korean women's super shorts are also a sight on the street.

Some old and promising retired women will supervise every passing pedestrian with revolutionary eyes on the road, looking above to see whether they are wearing a chairman's badge and below to see whether each woman is wearing a skirt. When walking to the streets of South Korea, trendy women are everywhere.

In 2009, Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the Workers 'Party of Korea, recommended that women wear "upright pants" in a report titled "Easy and Beautiful Wear" and listed "pants that can be worn" and "pants that should not be worn" one by one." The report said,"Pants and bell bottoms that fit close to women's lower bodies are not the styles we advocate." South Korean women will definitely be glad that their country does not advocate that.

In North Korea, because all women wear skirts, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, only men wear long pants. Therefore, they also called men "pants". It is said that North Korean women commonly call men "pants". Boys are respectfully called "new pants"; those who have been divorced are jokingly called "old pants"; those who have divorced again are demoted as "broken pants"; those who have been divorced more than three times are called "broken pants"! New pants are the target of most North Korean girls. So what kind of "pants" do women prefer in South Korea? Back to wearing, rotten jeans with holes are also a fashion style that Korean women like very much.

It turns out that this is the reason why North Korean women don't wear pants. It's just that most women keep the house and handle housework. Do they always wear skirts to make them convenient? Maybe this is the tragedy of being a woman. Because of her low status, she has no right to decide whether she can wear a skirt and can only be content with the status quo.
