In the hours following former President Donald Trump’s election victory, Google searches related to 4B — a fringe South Korean feminist movement that made a name for itself in the mid to late 2010s — surged in the United States.

Careful. The Trad Wives were already planning on out competing progressives for their upcoming... "culture war". We risk Idiocracy scenario.

"Lysistrata" is a 2400 year-old play about the women of Greece ending the Peloponnesian Wars by withholding sex.

If it's good for the Greeks...

I don't really get this because anyone participating in this is left enough that they probably wouldn't want to date a misogynistic, right wing men.

Maybe I am too man to understand but hoping to get a better perspective.

Edit: After thinking about this I could see how the movement could help encourage woman out of these toxic relationships and empower them to live without a man.

The last woman I dated was extremely progressive but dated a pretty misogynistic dude before me and then ended up cheating on and ghosting me for a Maga dude.

Yeah, my niece, who is generally a worldly, progressive person, was talking about this guy whom she's not ready to call 'boyfriend' yet, and part of that description was, "he's, like, super into Hitler."

Doesn't that seem like kind of a red flag? ??

My wife accidentally dated a white supremacist before we met. She’s not even white. She found out like six months into their relationship, when she stumbled upon a tumblr post about white power dogwhistles and immediately recognized like four of his most prominent tattoos. He even got one of them after they had started dating.

She initially dismissed it as a coincidence, until she saw the same tats on a lot of his friends. Some women will try to excuse a lot of red flags if they’re not directed at her specifically.

Maybe context is important? Is he a historian/researcher perhaps specializing in German history? Possibly not a red flag…every other case is likely a red flag. Even if they are…what drew them to that field of study? I’d have questions is all I I’m saying.

I feel like this is only really a lever that can be tweaked on the subset of American men who didn't vote or voted for Trump and are in a relationship with a woman who is part of this movement. Which I can't believe is very large.

This is not putting the burden on women of this movement but it will inevitably be used in fascist talking points about how the "libruls are brainwashing women to not have sex with you", further propaganda that will go into radicalizing young men.

This is kind of how Idiocracy starts.

But what if you want a nice bit of cock? Seems like a bit of a crap movement.

Your mother said the same right before you were born.

Doesn't really make any sense mate.

I did actually just do a banging shit though.

A message to my fellow guys: if you dislike this, guess what: it's real easy to stop being the target of it. All you have to do is quit being a misogynistic, authoritarian piece of shit.

Yeah honestly as a guy I'm all for it. I absolutely do not blame women who do not want to have sex when they're treated like 2nd class citizens who's bodies are controlled by old, creepy men in Congress.
