The recent US election has sparked renewed interest in the 4B movement, a South Korean feminist movement in which women refuse marriage, childbirth, dating, and sex with men. This surge in interest, particularly among young liberal women, stems from frustration with a perceived lack of support for women’s rights, exacerbated by the appointment of conservative Supreme Court justices who overturned abortion rights. While the movement may not gain widespread traction in the US, it serves as a catalyst for conversations about gender inequality and encourages women to prioritize their own wellbeing and seek collective action.

Following Donald Trump’s election victory, a wave of American women on social media are embracing the “4B” movement, a South Korean feminist initiative encouraging women to abstain from romantic and sexual relationships with men until gender equality is achieved. This surge in interest, evident across platforms like TikTok, X, and Threads, reflects a growing frustration among women with the perceived lack of progress towards gender equality and a sense of disillusionment with men’s willingness to protect women’s rights. The movement’s resonance is amplified by Trump’s successful appeal to young male voters, further fueling the perception of a political landscape that disregards women’s needs.

Amber Rose’s recent claim that Beyoncé plagiarized her speech is a perplexing instance of self-aggrandizement that speaks volumes about modern celebrity culture and the absurd lengths people will go to assert their relevance. The boldness of asserting that Beyoncé, an iconic figure in the music industry with a substantial following and a legacy of empowerment, would want to mimic Amber Rose is mind-boggling. It’s not just the audacity; it’s also indicative of a deeper, almost desperate need for recognition that seems to drive Amber.
Reflecting on this situation, it feels like a collision of egos, where one party seems to misunderstand the dynamics at play.… Continue reading
As a woman, hearing Trump’s recent comments about women being broke, depressed, and in need of his help to be happy is not only infuriating but also insulting. The audacity of a man who has constantly undermined women’s rights, belittled and demeaned them, and faced numerous allegations of sexual assault, to claim that he is the solution to their problems is beyond hypocritical. It’s like a slap in the face to all the progress that women have fought for over the years.
The idea that Trump believes he can swoop in and fix all of women’s issues with a simple declaration is not only delusional but also incredibly dangerous.… Continue reading
Violence against women has reached what is being described as ‘epidemic levels’ in the UK, according to recent reports.
