Summary
In response to Donald Trump's election win, American women are increasingly embracing South Korea's 4B Movement, which encourages abstinence from dating, sex, marriage, and childbirth with men. This trend, fueled by fears over reproductive rights and misogyny, has gained momentum on social media, particularly TikTok and X. Experts suggest that this movement is a collective response to perceived threats against women's rights, highlighting the desire for agency and solidarity among women. The 4B Movement is linked to a larger feminist wave in South Korea, addressing systemic gender-based issues and aiming for empowerment amidst ongoing challenges.
