Donald Trump wins 2024 US elections was not well received by millions of women in the United States. And thousands of American women are blaming men for Trump’s victory and have joined the 4B movement in which they have sworn to no sex, no relationships, no marriage and not to give birth, as revenge and protest. The 4B movement originated in South Korea and spread to the United States amid the collapse caused by Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election.

Kamala Harris’ Democratic camp has painted an anti-feminist image of Trump.

Several American women posted videos where they can be seen with tears in their eyes over Trump’s victory.

Today, they are embarking on the 4B movement.

The name 4B comes from 4 nos. B is short for no in Korean. This movement arrived in South Korea after the MeToo and “Escape the Corset” movements.

The 4B movement was not a passing fad in South Korea and its impact on Korean society was noticeable.

In 2021, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said such moves were “blocking healthy relationships” between women and men in South Korea, CBC reported.

South Korea has seen a decline in birth rates and the 4B movement is playing a role, according to a New York Times report.

SEVERAL WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES SAY NO TO SEX, MARRIAGE, CHILDREN AND DATING

Today, American women are doing it.

“Women started thinking about how the government, the state and men were failing them,” Meera Choi, a doctoral student in the sociology department at Yale University, told NBC.

This comes as many women hoped that Kamala Harris would win the US election, which would protect their reproductive rights.

All polls also showed how much women supported Harris and men supported Trump.

“4B is a female liberation movement around protecting our reproductive system (against historically oppressive man. It has no place for male-centered women, especially those who insist on prioritizing feelings women’s rights rather than the liberation of women,” wrote one woman.

The search rate for 4B movements in the United States is also increasing.

“Research interest in the 4B movement, a radical feminist movement that began in South Korea where women are renouncing marriage, sex, and childbirth with men, has exploded today,” posted one user out of X.

In the United States, women believe they were not heard in elections.

“After this election – where women were told to their faces that no one cares – remember, ladies, that we have the power. And you know what kind of power I’m talking about. Surrendering our bodies to men is a choice. We don’t have to do that,” she added.

There is a section of women who criticize women who participate in the 4B movement in the United States.

“Not a single man loses sleep because you don’t want to sleep with him. Not a single one,” said one person using the handle X LibertyValkyrie.

“The best way to understand 4B and similar social media trends is to allow young women to create a romantic story arc themselves, in which only a man who proves himself can reluctantly knock the heroine off her perch “wrote another user. , publishing from the webdevMason handle.

WHY THE MOVEMENT BECAME POPULAR IN SOUTH KOREA

In South Korea, the movement came after the MeToo movement. This also happened after the leak of the corset movement, which involved women dressing androgynously. They cut their hair short and even shaved their heads.

The 4B movement claims to have 4,000 followers, Vox reports.

South Korean society adheres to strict gender norms and enforced beauty standards.

The major inflection point came when two women were accused of spreading the MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus) outbreak through a smear campaign in South Korea.

They were called “selfish” and “fickle.”

This is the moment when women started to come together and say that they wanted to join 4B.

In 2018, protests grew in Seoul and across South Korea after a woman was jailed after photographing a nude male model in her art class after he refused to cover her parts. genitals.

This was done to shame him.

Protests then broke out.

While the movement has had a considerable impact in South Korea, it is now also spreading to the United States.

“We can’t let these men have the last word…we have to fight back,” one woman said on X.

The rise of the 4B movement in the United States is actually a continuation of the bitter battle of the sexes this was seen during the Trump versus Harris campaign. The duration and extent of the impact of this movement on American society will be confirmed in the years to come. What is certain for the moment is that American women have taken Trump’s victory personally and are attacking male voters.
