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.

If I were a cis woman, I also wouldn't want to risk pregnancy by being with a cis man. Certainly not in a country where being pregnant is increasingly more dangerous to one's life.

Also for my trans homies - remember that HRT is not birth control.

I'm all for women doing this, I'm just worried it'll literally be the beginning of Idiocracy.

Idiocracy would be a significant upgrade from our current predicament.

4B? Isn't this just Lysistrata?

As we always say on my screenwriting podcast, there are no new stories.

Not all men backed the ugliness. (To lump them altogether is sexist.) The ones who didn’t should be supported.

We have to stop the shift of men to the right and this can’t help

It’s not on women to fix men.

How can we possibly win an election ever again if this is the attitude? If we don’t win back some men, we can’t just expect women to make up for it.

Yeah let's try the moderate approach. Have to, really. Anything that even remotely might change things is out of the question. /s

We genuinely don't have much time until the planet burns. It's scary, but we fucking have to do something. These money blinded fucks in power won't do jack shit.

We absolutely need a left wing populist who will actually motivate the Democratic base in 2028. We can’t afford another neoliberal that nobody truly likes.

We need someone who isn't so god-damned educated. I swear to God if I see another Yale graduate with a JD I'm going to lose my fucking mind. Someone who's been brainwashed at an ivy League is the absolute worst person to represent the average American. They have zero idea of the issues people face on a day to day basis. I have a bunch of highly educated family members and they don't know Jack shit.
