Are women oppressed in the West, particularly the United States? Is the new presidency going to take away basic human rights from women? Is the new 4B movement based on correct principles?

While I support one tenant of the 4B movement (no sex to men you’re not married to!), the overall sentiment is cynical and flawed. In this video I offer some alternatives to restoring peace and hope to men and women alike!➡️ Live Action Truth About Sex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMoyUlHDKso&list=PLRCroccSjXWTKm2BUjdL_SIz_eDh7xCAF&ab_channel=LiveAction➡️ Economics of Sex video: https://youtu.be/cO1ifNaNABY?feature=sharedA big thank you to our partner, EWTN, the world’s leading Catholic network!
