No sex. No dating. No marriage. No children. Interest grows in 4B movement to swear off men - Lemmy.World

lysistrata suggests that this won’t work; but then again we’re in strange times and i think that warrants throwing everything at the wall and going with whatever sticks.
The immediate problem I see is that the very people these women are protesting against are the same assholes who think women are property that they can take any time they want. How is this not going to increase the number of rapes already occurring?
I didn’t realize I was part of a protest movement! 😲
The 4B movement is explicitly transphobic. I’m all for punishing conservative men but the sudden popularity of this specific movement is suspicious to me.
Jessie, what the fuck are you talking about

Apparently it came out oft South Korea (see Wikipedia page) and given their gender roles imposed by society that doesn’t surprise me at all. SK is incredibly paternalistic and woman are almost expected to undertake plastic surgery.

It’s like incels, but for women?
No. Incel stands for involuntarily celibate. This is literally the opposite.
It sounds like a weird sort of backdoor religious movement, like they’re taking vows of chastity or something. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not being pushed by Conservatives themselves. Sure, go ahead and ignore Conservative men, they deserve it, but taking a vow of chastity is kind of weird.

Yeah… definitely conservative men and “not political” or “moderate” men should be shunned.

But how do you tell who’s actually a good guy and who’s a secret shithead?

The simple argument as to why this wouldn’t make conservatives happy is that they want as many babies as possible: preaching for big families, destroying contraception, abortion rights, etc. Birthrates were falling but the orphan-crushing machine requires new blood.

In that sense as weird as this 4B movement sound it’s most definitely a big middle finger to that all.

It’s your life, do what you want!
