Trump's reelection has prompted women to learn more about a radical feminist movement that preaches 'no sex.' Where did this crusade come from?

"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.”

    Makes a lot of sense. Think about it this way: there’s a slightly better than 50 percent chance that the random dude you walked past on the street voluntarily chose to vote against your most basic rights as a person. Why the fuck would you go near them again, let alone let them touch you without some serious national reconciliation?

      Why does everyone in the internet ignore that turnout was 60%??

      The reality is that around 30% of americans voted for trump

        By not voting, the other 40% helped put Trump in office. When the trolly is heading down the tracks to kill the lady in distress, sitting on your ass and doing nothing makes you complicit.

          trolly

          I hate to break it to you, but Democrats are also genocidal and through a combination of their policies and incompetence (charitable reading) created the situation which led to trump getting elected. Twice.

          Here’s what actually works for getting a trolley to stop running over people:

      I don’t understand what you’re saying.

      You’re saying the random dude you walked past, you didn’t want to go near again or touch? Because of something they might have done?

        I’m saying since 59% of white men voted for Trump, when you walk by a random dude on the street there’s around a 1 in 2 chance that that random dude voted against you being a full person. Since that percentage is so high, it’s not unreasonable for women to swear off all men until after a serious reckoning.

        It was just a silly and imprecise thought experiment to make tangible some distressing statistics about what millions of men think about women.
