if you get mugged going through a sketchy neighborhood, that does not make it ok for a robber, but it is a valid question whether it was really good idea for you to go there.
This is classical victim blaming! Same like when people ask women what they were wearing when they experience sexualized violence. It shouldn’t matter!
You don’t know anything about the context or what patients have said and done in this clinic. You just assume everyone knew about it and was OK with it. And then you blame them for this assumed participation.
it shouldn’t matter, but it does. shouting about it on the internet does not change that. and it is not even about sex. if i go to some sketchy neighborhood with 20k$ camera around my neck, i am asking for a trouble, and it is smart thing to think about it beforehand and adapt. whether it should or shouldn’t matter does not matter (pun intended).
it is like a pedestrian walking in front of a speeding car, getting hit by it and then complaining “they were in the right”. how does it matter, when you are still the one being hit by a car?

yeah, i am speculating little bit. but if there were some sensitive materials captured, that means the camera was running for some time and no one did anything so impactful it would change. i am not expert of south korean law, but such camera would be major breach of privacy and straight up illegal anywhere in eu, and i assume in us as well, i see their hipaa cited often.
South Korea actually has a major problem with sexism and gender-based violence. Especially with men secretly filming women! It doesn’t seem unlikely that the filming of the gynecologist clinic was done in secret as well. Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it actually gets punished.
There is also the larger context in which women experience daily sexism and violence. This fundamentally changes how they react to further violence. Victims of sexualized violence often think of themselves as responsible for the violence they receive, because society constantly tells them they are at fault! Victim blaming is part of society’s effort to tell women they are worthless and to keep control over them. If you solely focus on how the victims of this act of violence are at fault here, you are part of the problem.
