Just a few days after Donald Trump 's recent victory in the 2024 presidential election, thousands of women across the US have expressed their discontent, citing deep concerns over issues of gender equality and reproductive rights. In response, some American women have rallied behind the '4B Movement,' a feminist protest strategy that originated in South Korea. The movement involves a pledge to abstain from relationships with men altogether - including marriage, childbirth, dating, and even sexual relations.
By far the most BASED response to the insane 4B movement. What do you think? Share it out y’all! 👀🔥🔊 pic.twitter.

The movement first emerged in South Korea around 2016 after a woman in Seoul was murdered by a man who claimed he was resentful of being ignored by women. the 4B movement better be in effect.

In the days following the election results, social media saw an uptick in posts from American women who declared their support for the 4B principles as a form of protest. Google searches for the movement have reportedly surged, indicating growing interest.
If you want to know where young American women are at, the Google search term interest for the 4b movement says it all. (It’s a South Korean term for women who swear off sex, marriage and childbirth with men) pic.twitter.

On social media, some users have mocked the idea that men will be affected by women’s choice to distance themselves romantically. “Not a single guy is losing sleep over you not wanting to sleep with them,” one user quipped.
Others joked that feminists distancing themselves from men would be good for the gene pool. ALSO SEE: Silicon Valley Welcomes The Red Republican Wave: Google, Microsoft, Meta, And Apple CEO’s Congratulate Donald Trump.
