‘No man will touch me until I have my rights back’: why is the 4B movement going viral after Trump’s win?
The Guardian ^ | Thu 7 Nov 2024 | Alaina Demopoulos

McKenna, who is 24 and lives in a rural, conservative state, recently got back on dating apps after a year of finding herself. She had two first dates planned for this weekend, but after Donald Trump won the election, she cancelled both.

“It’s heartbreaking to know that in this country you only matter if you’re a straight white man,” she said. “It’s just devastating that we’re at this point. So I will not let another man touch me until I have my rights back.”

McKenna, who did not want her last name published for privacy reasons, first heard about 4B a few months ago, via a TikTok video referring to the South Korean social movement. The basic idea: women swear off heterosexual marriage, dating, sex and childbirth in protest against institutionalized misogyny and abuse. (It is called 4B in reference to these four specific no-nos.) The mostly online movement began around 2018 protests against revenge porn and grew into South Korea’s #MeToo-esque feminist wave.

In the wake of Trump’s victory, 4B is once again on McKenna’s mind – and she’s not the only one.

Trump’s embrace of manosphere figures such as Joe Rogan, the Nelk Boys and Adin Ross means he has strong support among their evangelists – mainly, young men. But for young women, the former president’s long history of misogyny means a vote for Trump is a vote against feminism, especially with reproductive rights as a key issue in 2024.

If these women stop whoring around, it’ll destroy the abortion business. Win/win.

She wants a world where only straight white men do not matter. What a flake. I didn’t see her list of all the rights she lost last week.

Trump will end the need for Planned Parenthood which always should have focused on women’s health care and not Margaret Sanger’s eugenics.

For those that don’t know: Among ‘modern strong and independent’ women, ‘finding myself’ is code for “having casual sex with everyone who agrees to it regardless of merit or consequences.”

It is also often referred to as a “ho (whore) phase” only actual whores get paid for it.

This is really ironic and a bit humorous

Back in the bad old days of pre feminism America, rude mysoginists painted women as creatures given to hysterics and being incapable of rational, level headed thought

Looks like modern feminists are validating what were once considered some of the most obnoxious stereotypes of women from back in the bad old days

Could it be the stereotypes may be a bit more that just stereotypes and the guys from back in the bad old days may had had a few valid points

“It’s heartbreaking to know that in this country you only matter if you’re a straight white man,”

From what I have seen on YouTube, a lot of women in recent years have been approached by men who indicate that the woman matters to them. They respect her. They are attracted to her. They want to care for her. But many modern women HATE that. He gets "friend zoned" real quick. He's a "nice guy" which is the kiss of death. Tell the woman "she matters" and she will start running. She wants the Bad Boys. She wants Chad and Tyrone. Chad and Tyrone want to smash and she doesn't matter to them at all. That makes it exciting.
