    NATOpedai: 4B movement

    4B (or "Four Nos") is a feminist movement whose proponents refuse to 1) date men, 2) get married, 3) have sex with men, or 4) have children.

        To add

        The movement has approximately 3,400 members on Naver

        Pretty damn small to boot

          Yeah Americans love to say things like “the population decline in South Korea is because of the 4b movement” when it’s not a big thing at all. It drives me crazy. It’s just buying into right wing propaganda about population decline.

          Yeah, my understanding is it's one of those things where the line between an actual movement, a symbolic expression of rage, and right wing fearmongering is hard to draw.

      One notable feature of the 4B movement, as with other Korean digital feminist movements, is that members often identify themselves as "anonymous women," as it is conventional not to disclose personal details online.[

      Korea "fem-anon" language to distinguish from just "anon" (assumed male) amuses me.
