    Surprised to see none of the comments mentioning the 4B movement

        it’s a feminist movement, in backlash to misogyny and pro-natalism in South Korea (it’s becoming more widespread, though). The 4Bs are the “four no’s”:

        • no dating men
        • no sex with men
        • no marriage with men
        • no childbearing

        It gets a lot of pushback and is called selfish etc. but women are very angry & upset that the government only sees them for their reproductive use, and it’s reasonable to not want to date someone who doesn’t view you as human.
