4B Movement Gains Traction in U.S. After Trump Re-Election

The South Korean feminist movement advocating for no marriage, dating, sex, or childbirth finds resonance among American women post-election.

Originating in South Korea, the 4B movement is a response to gender inequality and violence, promoting a lifestyle free from male dependency.
The movement's rise in the U.S. follows Donald Trump's re-election, with many women expressing frustration over patriarchal norms and political setbacks like the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
4B stands for the 'four nos': no dating, no sex, no marriage, and no childbirth, reflecting a radical stance against traditional gender roles.
While the movement has sparked significant online discourse, there is no clear data on how many women actively follow 4B, either in South Korea or the U.S.
Critics argue that while the movement highlights important issues, its separatist nature and exclusionary practices, particularly towards trans individuals, may limit its broader impact.
