Turning One's Back On The Patriarchy

Yup, and the Korean women who started the 4B-Movement really mean business: No men, no dating, no sex, no marriage and no babies. The declining Korean birth rate tells a true story of women who have had enough. However, they don't fight the Patriarchy in the same manner as e.g. the feminists of the 1970's which had an element of ongoing discussion: The women believed in men's ability to listen and learn, but the 4B-women have given up on the male gender altogether.

The movement has been spreading for quite some time, and after the American 2024 election of the ultra male chauvenist, the blatant misogynist, and women abuser, Donald tRump, American women also have become interested in the movement: The incels may lament their situation as men who can't get a date, using the old tricks of "seduction" and living by the outdated rules for how the sexes make an interaction work. Not so long ago women were caught in a web of sex roles that didn't give them much room for designing their own, independent lives. They have had to suppress themselves for a long time to fit into the pre-conceived ideologies that kept them in a fierce stronghold of suppressive ideas about womanhood, and they have become fed up with that system.

Actually, The 4B-movement has spread globally from South Korea to the US, China, and Australia - perhaps even more. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it has gained access to Muslim countries which uphold a grotesquely twisted system of gender control. If not I'm sure it will come.
