Yeonmi Park (born 1993 in Hyesan, North Korea[1]) is a North Korean defector, a human rights activist and a YouTuber[2]. She escaped the country at the age of 13[1]. At the end of May 2021 she was interviewed by Jordan Peterson. In that interview she told that an university professor from Columbia University (United States) had told her that letting a man hold a door for her is "giving in to their [the man's] overpowering of you." When she argued against this, attributing that kind of behaviour to "kindness" or "decency," the professor argued that Yeonmi was "brainwashed from North Korea." In the four years at the university she learned to "censor herself all over again."[3]
