## Caption

This space is too short to contain all the thoughts I have on this fraught topic. Suffice it to say that of all the videos I’ve made over the years, this was one of the most difficult and I almost didn’t post it. I have received so many comments like these since I started posting my stories online and if you think I’ve grown immune to this level of disgustingness, think again. I am human.

It confounds me that so many people—including Korean American men who are a part of several bar associations I belong to (oh yes, don’t think I don’t know)—think they have the right to tell me who I should love. Of all the choices that belong to me, I should think this is a given. But count on these people to find a yet another way to surprise me with their misogyny. Not just because they think they can tell me who to love, but because they ASSUME I lack the intelligence, self-worth, and savvy to decipher the fetishist from the genuine life partner. Yes, let’s continue infantilizing women by assuming they cannot be trusted to love the humans they choose to love, that they cannot choose their partners without falling into the trap of internalized racism and self-loathing. And, while we’re at it, let’s just conveniently dismiss everything women have done, all that they have sacrificed to amplify the stories of their heritage, to create opportunity and representation for the VERY MEN who would silence them.
