Korean women

There have been a couple of very interesting items in the Korean press lately that might reveal a little insight into the status of women in Korean society.

The Korean Hearld reports that a judge has been able to monetize the value of a housewife. Apparently, a housewive's "daily chores" are worth just 65,000 won (approximately C$80). Check out the article here. And, the Chosun Ilbo newspaper has an article that makes the rather shocking claim that two-thirds of Korean women can imagine having an affair.

Does anyone else think these two items are possibly related?
