In the days after Donald Trump was elected president, a South Korean feminist movement is capturing young women’s interest on social media.

Summary

Following Donald Trump’s recent election victory, Google searches for “4B,” a South Korean feminist movement advocating a “no sex, no dating, no marriage, no children” stance, surged in the U.S.

The 4B movement, popular among young women on social media, promotes individual resistance against conservative politics and the erosion of reproductive rights.

The trend reflects a broader ideological divide between young men and women in the U.S., where women under 30 are significantly more liberal than men.

    It’s a protest about women reasserting autonomy over their own bodies. The majority of men in the US have voted for a regime that has shown it does not regard women’s rights. It could be different from person to person but it’s mainly to show the government that women won’t just be passive when laws try to force women to just be a submissive baby maker.

    Supportive men could do the same to maybe accellerate the cause until reasonable rights in the region are established for healthy childbirth and sex.

      I see. Think it’s an overkill and people can use contraception instead of going full separate, but there is kind of a point in there

        Contraception is never 100% effective, which is one of the many reasons why abortion is necessary healthcare. I’ve seen many misogynists suggest women should just keep their legs closed. Seems like that’s what they’re deciding to do.

          Sure, but effective enough to make a drastic change to fertility rate.

          Still, I see where you’re going with it
