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 really get this because anyone participating in this is left enough that they probably wouldn’t want to date a misogynistic, right wing men.

    Maybe I am too man to understand but hoping to get a better perspective.

    Edit: After thinking about this I could see how the movement could help encourage woman out of these toxic relationships and empower them to live without a man.

      Yeah, my niece, who is generally a worldly, progressive person, was talking about this guy whom she’s not ready to call ‘boyfriend’ yet, and part of that description was, “he’s, like, super into Hitler.”

      Doesn’t that seem like kind of a red flag? ??

        My wife accidentally dated a white supremacist before we met. She’s not even white. She found out like six months into their relationship, when she stumbled upon a tumblr post about white power dogwhistles and immediately recognized like four of his most prominent tattoos. He even got one of them after they had started dating.

        She initially dismissed it as a coincidence, until she saw the same tats on a lot of his friends. Some women will try to excuse a lot of red flags if they’re not directed at her specifically.
