In the days after Donald Trump was elected president, the 4B feminist movement is capturing young women’s interest on social media.

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.

    Meanwhile in the real world, nobody is actually going to do this except at the lunatic fringes. The net effect is probably a benefit if you’re a man looking for a serious relationship.

      Or perhaps you could have acknowledged that LustyArgonianMana made a good point about your responsibility to call out misogyny.

            It’s generally more polite and productive to assume people aren’t all horrible when you are trying to have a conversation with them. That’s assuming your aim is to win them over and not just protest.

              That assumes you had any good faith in the first place. Women’s rights are being revoked and this is their response. And all you can do is cry about it. It’s very pathetic.

                If I lived in America I’d be voting for the Democrats and for abortion rights every time, I’m just pointing out that this is an absolutely ineffective way to address the issue or change anyone’s mind.

                Do you ever wonder if this kind of interaction is part of the reason the democrats aren’t doing very well? It seems quite obvious from the outside that it’s part of the problem.

                  Voting Dem and Choice is a start. But while there are these extreme levels of misogyny in the world, we’ve all got a lot of work to do. Best plan is to stop whining and get on with it.

                That assumes you had any good faith in the first place.

                I find it often pays to assume people are acting in good faith and explain things to them patiently rather than simply assuming anyone who disagrees with you is a troll.

                  They’re literally complaining about women’s choice to do with their sexuality as they choose. There is no good faith there to begin with, which is incredibly clear.
