4B Movement Gains Popularity Among U.S. Women

The 4B feminist protest movement, which began in South Korea, is gaining traction among American women following Donald Trump's election victory. This movement advocates for four 'nos': no marriage, no childbirth, no dating, and no sex, aiming to empower women by rejecting traditional gender roles and reclaiming autonomy over their bodies. The movement was initially sparked by a tragic incident in South Korea in 2016, where the murder of a young woman highlighted deep-seated gender inequalities. In the U.S., women are increasingly adopting the 4B principles in response to fears about safety and reproductive rights, particularly after the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The movement is seen as a form of protest against perceived male oppression and restrictive policies on women's rights, with participants believing that abstaining from relationships with men will effect social change. As the movement grows through platforms like TikTok and Twitter, it reflects a broader discontent with the current political climate affecting women's rights.
