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.

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

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.

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.

Hey, you’re preaching to the choir. Lol.

[–] Eatspancakes84@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Got me. I think Trump is incredibly unstable.

There's nothing inherently unhealthy about being asexual.

[–] Ajen@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

4B isn't about asexuality, it's about abstinence. Not the same thing.

[–] zante@slrpnk.net -4 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

This is not just being asexual. This incel behaviour.

[–] Seltzer@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] zante@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Abstains from sex is celibacy. That’s 1B.

There are 4Bs

[–] SlyLycan@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago

The Bs are celibacy, no marriage, no children, no dating. None of that is incel behavior.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

Incel = involuntary celibacy

These women are volunteering to be celibate.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Wow you don't understand what incels are at all do you?

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

Downvoted for advocating taking men’s children away.
