"The election of Donald Trump has sparked a surge of interest in the United States in South Korea’s 4B movement, a radical feminist crusade that preaches the four B’s: bi-hon (no marriage), bi-yeonae (no dating), bi-sekseu (no sex) and bi-chulsan (no childbirth),” the Los Angeles Times reports.

“Since Nov. 5, there have been more than 500,000 Google searches for ‘4b movement,’ while on TikTok, Instagram and X, support for the cause has been trending among young women voters who are vowing to swear off men.”

    If my partner were part of this movement she’d be breaking up with me entirely, not just withholding sex. But if she was withholding sex from me because of this there’s not really anything I can do because I’m not going to force her to do it because I’m not an asshole. Plus I’m not with her just for sex so withholding sex wouldn’t severely impact our relationship or my wanting to be an ally.

    My point is that the people this is likely to be deployed against are not the ones causing the problem.

    Maybe if the ones not causing the problem caused more problems for the ones causing the problem they would stop causing problems.

      Short of shooting people, what step should the average man take beyond voting, protesting, donating, and holding other men in our circle accountable? Trump gained ground with women too.
