In the days after Donald Trump was elected president, the 4B feminist movement is capturing young women’s interest on social media.

In the hours following former President Donald Trump’s election victory, Google searches related to 4B — a fringe South Korean feminist movement that made a name for itself in the mid to late 2010s — surged in the United States.

    I don’t expect this to go anywhere, but wouldn’t limiting the dating pool create a more competitive market for men?

    If that is a good thing, that I don’t know

      We are in the middle of a loneliness epidemic. For both women and men. Denying themselves companionship and love will only make people more miserable.

          It’s not just the US. It’s mostly everywhere. It’s a byproduct of the internet existing and so many people being addicted to it. It’s a byproduct of people overworking themselves, working shit hours / nights so they cannot interact in a healthy way - without being literal zombies. It’s a problem with the mental health crisis too - with the loneliness epidemic fueling it, and the mental health crisis fueling the loneliness epidemic. More people are scared of dating and getting hurt. More people are scared of commitment. People go nuts locked up alone in tiny boxes they call a home, don’t know how to get out and don’t want to risk inviting someone in. People got comfortable with how things are going for them, even if it’s going completely shit. Then there are the dating app companies, whose entire gimmick is to get you hooked onto a monthly subscription. Which, aside from someone who is looking to hook up only, is about as counter to what they should be as possible.

          Re-read what I said. I’m not forcing anyone to stay in my company. Hell, I even qualify that there are some people who don’t mind being alone.

          I’m really curious how you interpreted this as Maalus wanting to force women into his company

        Sorry, your concern is transparent and as poorly constructed as the morals your father tried to pass to you. The math is simple: if you think mass deportations, hurting poor/disabled people and reducing education are good things, women generally don’t seem interested.

        Go ahead and skip to, “maybe they shouldn’t have a choice”, you’re already making them not want to fuck with attempts at reduction in birth control.

        Ultimately it seems quite clear, as a dude, most women would rather die than be forced to raise a rapist’s child.

          The fuck are you talking about Jesse? I see no relevance in your rant at all.

            Missing the forest for the trees. I can only hope you’re playing at being this obtuse.

            Women will protect themselves from people who not only don’t share their views on essential liberties, but particularly from people codifying a reduction of liberties for them. If they decide not fucking men is how to bring them a feeling of safety, that’s how it’s going to go.

            Keep whining about it.
