An article about South Korean women boycotting men. The movement is called 4B. It is gaining traction in America.

----------------------

This South Korean feminist philosophy calls on women to resist misogyny. “The ‘good men’ failed us by letting the bad men proliferate. They all have to be punished.”


In the days after U.S. election, the South Korean feminist 4B movement has gone viral online, fuelled by American women dismayed at the re-election of Donald Trump, a man who has been found guilty in a civil court of sexual abuse.

The 4B philosophy urges women to boycott dating, sex, marriage and childbirth with men as an act of resistance against misogyny.
Born out of South Korea’s version of #MeToo several years ago, 4B has found renewed traction and a new audience on social media as women express their concern that Trump’s Republican administration will further restrict women’s reproductive rights, which have been severely impacted since Roe v. Wade was overturned.

This movement is named after four B-words in Korean: Bihon, bichulsan, biyeonae, and bisekseu. They translate to the four things that women are boycotting: Heterosexual dating, sex, marriage and childbirth. It’s sometimes known as “the Four Nos,” after the fact that those four Korean words all start with “bi,” or in English, “no.”

4B is seen as a more extreme version of several feminist movements that have arisen over the past few years in South Korea, like the “escape the corset” movement that sees women take a stand against oppressive beauty standards, often by cutting their hair short and wearing baggy clothing.


It’s also a descendent of the “no marriage movement,” which emerged around 2014 and saw South Korean women rejecting the traditional expectation that they would marry and leave the workforce to have children. At that time, Korean women outnumbered men in higher education.

In 2016, as the country’s birth rate was falling to one of the lowest in the world, the government launched an online map that showed the number of women of reproductive age within local areas; it was taken down after outcry from women’s groups.

Fast forward to 2022, and South Korea elected president Yoon Suk Yeol, who essentially blamed feminism for the fact that the country now has the world’s lowest birth rate. “Some say feminism is too politically exploited [to the point] it prevents healthy relationships between men and women,” Yoon said in the run-up to the election. “From a social standpoint, the conditions are ill-suited for having and raising children.” 4B came to be seen as a channel of protest against a state that seemed to see women primarily as potential breeders.

The American women posting about 4B on social media are saying they see echoes of South Korea’s experience with what they believe is happening in their country.

“Girls, it’s time to boycott all men. You lost your rights, and they lost the right to hit raw!” says one TikTok poster in a video that was has racked up over 3 million views in two days. “4B movement starts now!”

Another user called for four years of celibacy. “[Men] no longer get access to us until they can prove they’re capable of caring about our basic rights, health, and safety,” they wrote. “The ‘good men’ failed us by letting the bad men proliferate. They all have to be punished in a way they can understand.”

Oh wow, just posted something similar literally a few seconds ago!

I think Liberal women... go for it! Shave your heads! Let us physically know who are the fruitcakes and nutjobs! My Ex's political persuasions were of the Far Left... if she had a shaved head, I would've never gotten together with her!

Too me, this is the equivalent of Jews under Nazi Germany wearing the Yellow Star, except this time (head shaving), Liberal Women are deciding to label themselves with this physical feature.

The 4B movement is a loose female equivalent of MGTOW for men. In fact, I have seen comparisons of MGTOW for men to radical feminism for women. 4B would be a part of radical feminism.

MGTOW for men and 4B/radical feminism are similar. MGTOW men become MGTOW men because women reject sex from them. Radical feminist women become radical feminist women for the most part because men reject long term committed relationships that include sex with them. Radical feminists are usually physically attractive enough that men will have short term sex with them. Women usually aren't lacking for sexual interest, but rather longer term sexual interest from a man that they consider to be acceptable.



I can't imagine mainstream women going from January 2025 - January 2029 without sex. Most mainstream women like sex and they also like the attention that comes alongside sex. A lot of women use sex to make money. Think about all of the women who have some combination of the following....

-Have an OnlyFans page
-Have Instagram thot accounts
-Work at breastaurants
-Are strippers
-Enjoy meeting men from swipe apps, nightlife venues, and possibly daygame venue for sex

Those aren't women who are giving up sex for 4 years.

The 4B women are likely mediocre to subpar looking women who aren't accomplishing much in the sexual marketplace. They might be getting some right swipes on the apps and short term sex, but that's it.

A lot of mainstream women are barely affected by changes in abortion law. Many mainstream women use some form of a birth control women. I have a higher notch count than most men and the majority of the women I've had sex with were using birth control while I was having sex with them. Many men also use condoms simultaneously. Morning after pills are still around too.

In another thread, @DarwinTaurus posted this link below about the opposite of 4B. I don't think this idea will gain much traction either.


Having a child is an 18 year commitment. It's foolish to have a child based on the idea that there might be an economic improvement that might cover the child's first 3 years. What about the other 15 years?

Some already married conservative women might slightly alter their timeline for having a baby. They were already going to have babies anyway. This is insignificant.

USA birthrates didn't change much during 2017-2019. Those were the non-pandemic years of the first Trump presidency.

The long term trends for birthrates in the USA won't change in a meaningful way based on the 2024 election outcomes. Birthrates have been lower since 2007-2008, which was the onset of the Great Recession. 1980s born Millennials experienced poor economic outcomes during the Great Recession and didn't truly recover from that late 2000s/early 2010s period.

Also, from a social science perspective, there's been a long term decline in people actually having sex. This trend started in the Millennial generation and has escalated with Gen Z. A small percentage of 'Chads' gets laid in the Millennial/Gen Z groups. There have been plenty of 30s/early 40s Millennial women who have spent years on the penis carousel with 'Chads'. While these Millennial women have been having sex, they've mainly been birth control users who aren't having babies. As Millennial women get closer to the end of their fertile years, there are going to be lower overall Millennial fertility rates. Gen Z is not likely to change this.

Well you have to understand the tough job market, high housing etc is hardly conducive to raising a family and having a career. The bottom line is the economy and education system and capitalist system pretty much demands that women work and make money so its not so easy for young women to have children etc.

Where do you see these feminist women? I rarely see them in the wild. Some people make it seem like they are everywhere.

Anyways, most women I know love sex so this doesn’t concern me.

I doubt this will last any longer than a typical New Year's Resolution...

That said, the girl I had over on Friday mentioned how she isn't talking to her family right now because they all voted for Trump. I didn't say who I voted for (Trump) but wondered why she came over to see me, seeing as I tossed up a post on Instagram after he won. Then I found out she deleted her social media, which leads to...

Another girl I've been seeing for the past several months may be upset with me over that post. I usually see her once or twice a week but haven't heard from her at all since the day of that post. I don't even have to ask who she voted for, I already know - this girl is bisexual, pagan, piercings, dyes her hair, etc.

So it'll be interesting to see what happens here...worst case scenario I'll have more time to improve my financial situation and can recruit some new "talent".

All these girls f*ck non leftist men. All the women are with leftist men resent them and wish they were getting pounded by non leftist men. I tend to see leftist women with centrist or right leaning men, and thats usually when you can tell they are happier. Every leftist woman with a leftist man, she is always angry or makes him enter a poly relationship. It is no coincidence.

In the end, this doesn't affect any non leftist man. In fact, it will do the opposite.

For the 100th time. We do not condone political threads or thinly veiled political threads.

You are free to discuss political stuff on the forums where that is what they discuss. Not here.
