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.

    Understandable.

    But sweaering of ALL men is neither healthy nor realistic and the 4B movement is not really helping the issue. Plua the movement is extremely transphobic and essentialist. Its just TERFs doing a thing again…

    A more practical solution: Dont date MAGA and leave them if need be. Take the children from them as well. They deserve scorn for voting in a dictator, just because they cant get laid. And they deserve to be reminded on how parhetic they are for all of it every single das until they change.

      Agreed. I also can understand the feelings behind this, but it seems to ignore that quite a number of women voted for Trump.

        Bingo. My wife won’t vote for a woman president because she, not me, thinks that they’re too emotional. I know a decent amount of women in the workplace that feel the same way. I voted for Kamala because Trump is a paranoid narcissist that is a thief, liar, and can’t be trusted and she was a darn sight better to keep the boat moving predictably forward.

                Never said she voted for Trump. In fact, we don’t tell each other who we vote for. So yeah, try again. She’s typically strongly independent and really hates the two party system. RCV FTW.

                  This is directly from the Right’s playbook. She’s a moronic fascist.

                  Talk to her, and teach her the error of her ways. If you continue to be an apologist for a fascist, you might as well give up and join their ranks.

          Women are too emotional to be president? Shit man, maga and their current figurehead are fueled by extremely volatile emotion, no matter how much they crow about facts vs feelings. Rage is an emotion, and it’s what’s driven the movement for years before it even had a name. Citing emotionality as a reason not to elect a woman is just an excuse—a very poor one, at that—and everyone knows it.

          That’s rich. How could one ever think in this election that Kamala was the emotional one. She made one joke about his crowd size and he went completely off the rails.

            Got me. I think Trump is incredibly unstable.

            Reading comprehension. Jesus you people are stupid.

            No wonder why the Democrats continue to underperform.

      There’s nothing inherently unhealthy about being asexual.

          From a physiological standpoint? Seems virtually the same to me. The other guy said it was unhealthy. Is there anything unhealthy about abstinence?

              Yes, no one is arguing that. The context was there’s no difference physiologically speaking. That was the premise.

                  I have enough respect for those people to know they are smart enough to understand the distinction.

            They’re not necessarily the same, there’s two major differences between them physiologicaly:

            1. Asexual people date others unless they are also aromantic (well aromantic people also can date but it’s less common)
            2. Some asexual people can and do have sex

            Asexuality doesn’t have the desire for sex.

            This is abstinence for those that would like to have sex but don’t feel safe.

          It’s called celibacy, and it’s voluntary in this context.

          Incel = involuntary celibacy

          These women are volunteering to be celibate.

      The problem is that some men will literally tell a woman anything they want to hear until they’re in bed. They will lie their ass off and avoid political discussion until after the proposal, then they’ll suggest maybe she could cook a little more
