Sex Strike? The 4B Movement

(Inside Edition) What is the 4B movement after Trump failed to lose like polls said he would?

Imported from South Korea, many American women are swearing they'll join the 4B movement in light of Don the John Trump's re-election. What does it mean?

What is the 4B movement?
This rumor originated in South Korea as a radical feminist [and possibly lesbian] statement to abstain from interactions with men due to the country’s Patriarchy (patriarchal society).
Meaning of 4B

Is it "radical" to want rights?
This 4B movement stands for the four “B”s or “Nos” in Korean. They are bisekseu (“no sex with men”); biyeonae (“no dating men”); bihon (“no marrying men”); and bichulsan (“no having children,” especially not male children that fail to serve the Matriarchy).
Patriarchy must be good and tyrannical, right?
JP: I'm changing the definition of "patriarchy"

Where did this idea come from? It’s actually a pretty old idea for women to abstain from sexual contact with men as a way of whipping them into shape (though then it was done to end a war).


Let men do the breastfeeding
Perhaps one of the oldest examples is Aristophanes’ Ancient Greek comedic-play Lysistrata. Originally performed in 411 BC, it follows a group of Greek women who withhold sex from men to force them to end their Peloponnesian War by leaving them with annoying boners and all that lust-inspiring testosterone and no one but guys around.

How did the movement get started in (Mahayana Buddhist) South Korea?
It all kicked off around 2016 with the Escape the Corset movement, a social media-led movement that saw South Korean women discussing the ways in which Korean society’s restrictive female standards contributed to a misogynistic society.


The 4B movement gained even more momentum a year later when South Korean women started coming forward about the abuse they’d faced as part of the #MeToo movementMore
