The 4B Movement and Its Impact

The 4B movement encourages women to abstain from sexual relationships, marriage, and childbirth as a form of protest against men, particularly following political events like the election of Donald Trump. This movement, which originated in South Korea, has gained traction among women on social media platforms like TikTok, where they actively promote opting out of relationships with all men, regardless of their political affiliations. Participants express a desire to empower themselves by taking control of their bodily autonomy and utilizing their energy and resources for personal achievements rather than relationships with men. Despite the movement's intentions, many men, including those who may share liberal views, feel excluded and express that they are indifferent to the decisions of women choosing to remain single or to reject dating altogether.
