The “4B' movement is trending on social media after Donald Trump won the presidential election. Originating in South Korea, the feminist campaign includes no giving birth, dating or having sex with men. NBC News’ Emilie Ikeda details why this trend is gaining steam.
The election of Donald Trump as the next U.S. president has triggered a surge of social media posts and internet search interest in South Korea’s fringe feminist “4B” movement, which calls on women to refrain from dating, having sex with men, having kids and marrying men. Across TikTok, dozens of American women disappointed by Tuesday’s election results have posted videos stating their intention to participate in their own version of the 4B trend.
South Korea is in the midst of what some scholars have dubbed a “gender war,” in which concerns about inequality have stirred a deep gender divide that has become a core part of the country’s national politics. In 2022, President Yoon Suk Yeol, blamed feminism for the country’s low birth rate, saying he would increase penalties for false accusations of sexual crimes, and denied the existence of “structural discrimination based on gender.
