Article No Sex, No Dating, No Babies, No Marriage: How the 4B Movement Could Change America
Quote:The gender divide has sundered Korean society β and now itβs coming for the U.S.
Quote:The [original] movement [in Korea] formed in response to growing gender inequality and violence against women: Korea has one of the largest gender pay gaps in the world, and brutal murders of women β in subway stations, on rooftops and in their own homes, often at the hands of men they were dating β headline news shows daily. Amid so much political turmoil and bloodshed, 4B activists say the only way to make women safe β and convince society to take their safety seriously β is to swear off men altogether until something changes.
And now, in the wake of Donald Trumpβs reelection, 4B is going viral on U.S. social media among women who are furious with the men who helped the former president clinch a win. On TikTok alone, top videos have gained millions of views, and one widely shared tweet about the 4B movement post-election now has 450,000 likes and 21 million views at time of writing.
