The South Korean radical feminist 4B movement, in which women swear off marriage, childbirth, dating men, and sex with men, has sparked intense conversations among Americans on social media. Here is what you need to know about 4B.

Q: How did the 4B movement start?

A: It was developed in South Korea by a group of women who watched Bridget Jones’ Diary and realized men are more trouble than they’re worth. 

Q: Why is it gaining popularity after the election?

A: Just a coincidence.

Q: Who are its members?

A: Thousands of women who haven’t seen you in that sleeveless hoodie yet

Q: Isn’t the Korean 4B movement virulently transphobic and homophobic?

A: Typical male question.

Q: Who benefits the most from this movement?

A: The 2028 Vance presidential campaign.

Q: Isn’t this the plot of Lysistrata?

A: Wow, someone has a classics degree

Q: Why are Americans joining the 4B movement?

A: To improve TikTok engagement for women everywhere.

Q: What can men do to help?

A: Whatever they’re doing now is already helping increase membership just fine.
