4b movement

== Overview ==
The 4B Movement (4b 운동) is a [[radical feminist]] lifestyle choice originating in South Korea as a means to reject traditional [[gender roles]] and the extreme systemic patriarchy that makes up South Korean society.<ref>Handley, E. (2024) ''Women in the US are joining a ‘sex strike’, but in Korea, 4B is a radical way of living'', ''ABC News''. Available at: <nowiki>https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-13/south-korean-origins-4b-movement-us-trump-election/104586252</nowiki> (Accessed: 15 January 2025).</ref> The movement advocates for rejecting the “Four Nos” which include heterosexual dating, marriage, sex, and childbirth. The movement encourages women to completely reject the traditional roles women are expected to follow and focus on their own independence, career, and personal growth. 6B4T is a variation of the 4B movement which expands on the four original tenets.
== Background ==
The 4B Movement takes its roots in online communities such as Megalia and WOMAD during a period of intense gender tensions in South Korea, a country that is plagued with systemic gender inequality. The 4b movement developed primarily in online spaces as a direct response misogyny in Korean society.

=== Korean misogyny ===

=== Feminist reboot ===
In February of 2015, feminism in South Korea went through a revival after the hashtag #IAmAFeminist trended on Twitter. This hashtag sparked conversation surrounding feminist issues and encouraged online organizing. In August of the same year, the MERS Gallery on the website DC Inside was used by Korean male users to spread false rumors that two Korean women infected with Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome chose not to quarantine and instead continued shopping in Hong Kong. These rumors sparked intense misogynistic hatred towards these women and to Korean women in general. Female users of DC Inside decided to respond to the hatred inside of the MERS Gallery by mirroring their misogyny. <ref>서정민 , 최서영 . 2020, “Introduction”, vol.49, no.4, pp. 371 - 398. Available from: doi:10.21588/dns.2020.49.4.001</ref>

[[Megalia]] is a now-defunct website that started in August of 2015 as a response to the misogyny many women face by Korean men, particularly on websites dominated by men such as DC Inside. “Megallians”, as users of the website were often called, turned to a strategy of “[[mirroring]]”, where they would mimic and invert the misogynistic language and behavior typically aimed at women and direct it towards men instead. This tactic was seen as divisive and offensive by many, which led to a lot of public backlash. The website shut down in 2017.
[[WOMAD]] is a more radical split from Megalia created in 2016 after differing opinions arose regarding the inclusion of gay men, transgender identified men, and others who were not explicitly women. While Megalia included groups other than women in their activism, WOMAD took a more radical approach and created an explicitly women-only space. They also strongly discouraged watering down the feminist movement to include other movements in their activism.
== Core Principles ==
The basis of the movement lies in rejecting the Four Nos:
# No Dating (비연애)
# No Marriage (비혼)
# No Sex (비성관계)
# No Childbirth (비출산)

== Backlash ==
After gaining international attention due to [[Donald Trump]]'s presidential victory in November 2024, the 4B movement has received criticism from trans rights activists, who label the movement as "transphobic" and "homophobic". Ju Hui Judy Han, an assistant professor of Gender Studies at UCLA told the LGBT magazine [[Them]] that she would hate for a [[TERF]] movement to grow in South Korea. Han also compared the movement to [[political lesbianism]], stating “We call it 4B now, but it's political lesbianism,”. Political lesbianism as a political movement and ideology encouraged women regardless of their true sexual identity to become lesbians and reject relationships with men. The 4B movement was developed in South Korea and does not encourage lesbianism as a way to decenter men from women's lives. While there is no evidence that the 4B movement itself is "transphobic" or "homophobic", many trans rights activists attempt to paint it that way since [[gender critical]] radical feminists are among 4B's most prominent followers. By calling the entire movement transphobic and homophobic, it dissuades people from openly following the movement and from doing any actual research on it.

=== Wikipedia ===
The Korean American male user seafooddiet is the most prominent editor to the Wikipedia page for the 4B Movement. As of January 26th, 2025 he has made 94 edits and has added 5,955 bytes of text to the article. Seafooddiet is primarily responsible for writing the entirety of the section which argues that the 4B Movement is transphobic. <ref>“4B Movement - Page History - XTools.” ''Wmcloud.org'', 2019, xtools.wmcloud.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/4B_movement. Accessed 26 Jan. 2025.</ref> His contribution to the article only extends to the biased criticism section.

4b movement

Liberatewomennow: Expanded Article

== Overview ==
The 4B Movement (4b 운동) is a [[radical feminist]] lifestyle choice originating in South Korea as a means to reject traditional [[gender roles]] and the extreme systemic patriarchy that makes up South Korean society.<ref>Handley, E.

== Background ==
The 4B Movement takes its roots in online communities such as Megalia and WOMAD during a period of intense gender tensions in South Korea, a country that is plagued with systemic gender inequality. The 4b movement developed primarily in online spaces as a direct response misogyny in Korean society.

=== Korean misogyny ===

=== Feminist reboot ===
In February of 2015, feminism in South Korea went through a revival after the hashtag #IAmAFeminist trended on Twitter. This hashtag sparked conversation surrounding feminist issues and encouraged online organizing. In August of the same year, The [[MERS gallery]] on the website DC Inside became a place where women would criticize male internet users by mirroring their misogynistic language. The MERS gallery was previously used by male users to spread false rumors that two Korean women infected with the Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome chose not to quarantine and instead continued shopping in Hong Kong. These rumors sparked intense misogynistic hatred against these women and to Korean women in general. <ref>서정민 , 최서영 . 2020, “Introduction”, vol.49, no.4, pp. 371 - 398.

[[Megalia]] is a now-defunct website that started in August of 2015 as a response to the misogyny many women face by Korean men, particularly on websites dominated by men such as DC Inside. “Megallians”, as users of the website were often called, turned to a strategy of “[[mirroring]]”, where they would mimic and invert the misogynistic language and behavior typically aimed at women and direct it towards men instead. This tactic was seen as divisive and offensive by many, which led to a lot of public backlash. The website shut down in 2017.
[[WOMAD]] is a more radical split from Megalia created in 2016 after differing opinions arose regarding the inclusion of gay men, transgender identified men, and others who were not explicitly women. While Megalia included groups other than women in their activism, WOMAD took a more radical approach and created an explicitly women-only space. They also strongly discouraged watering down the feminist movement to include other movements in their activism.
== Core Principles ==
The basis of the movement lies in rejecting the Four Nos:
# No Dating (비연애)
# No Marriage (비혼)
# No Sex (비성관계)
# No Childbirth (비출산)

== Backlash ==
After gaining international attention due to [[Donald Trump]]'s presidential victory in November 2024, the 4B movement has received criticism from trans rights activists, who label the movement as "transphobic" and "homophobic". Ju Hui Judy Han, an assistant professor of Gender Studies at UCLA told the LGBT magazine [[Them]] that she would hate for a [[TERF]] movement to grow in South Korea. Han also compared the movement to [[political lesbianism]], stating “We call it 4B now, but it's political lesbianism,”. Political lesbianism as a political movement and ideology encouraged women regardless of their true sexual identity to become lesbians and reject relationships with men. The 4B movement was developed in South Korea and does not encourage lesbianism as a way to decenter men from women's lives. While there is no evidence that the 4B movement itself is "transphobic" or "homophobic", many trans rights activists attempt to paint it that way since [[gender critical]] radical feminists are among 4B's most prominent followers. By calling the entire movement transphobic and homophobic, it dissuades people from openly following the movement and from doing any actual research on it.

[[File:Screenshot of a Reddit Conversation on Genital Preference.png|thumb|A conversation in the r/Feminism subreddit about whether having a genital preference is transphobic or not.]]
Genital preference is described as the attraction to a specific sex over another regardless of their gender identity. The term genital preference is often said by trans rights activists to describe single sex attraction. Many TRAs use this term against lesbians in particular who do not want to date or have sex with trans-identified males on the basis of their biological sex. Lesbians who refuse to include “trans women” into their dating pool are labeled as transphobic for their so called genital preference. <ref>https://bulletin.appliedtransstudies.org/article/3/1-2/7/#genital-preference-as-the-new-transphobia</ref>

Liberatewomennow: Added a reference and reference page

== Overview ==
The 4B Movement is a radical feminist lifestyle choice originating in South Korea as a means to reject traditional gender roles and the extreme systemic patriarchy that makes up South Korean society.<ref name="What are the South Korean origins of the feminist 4B movement rising in the United States?">[https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/what-are-the-south-korean-origins-of-the-feminist-4b-movement-rising-in-the-united-states/ar-AA1tXW7h?ocid=BingNewsSerp]</ref> The movement advocates for rejecting the “Four Nos” which include heterosexual dating, marriage, sex, and childbirth. The movement encourages women to completely reject the traditional roles women are expected to follow and focus on their own independence, career, and personal growth. 6B4T is a variation of the 4B movement which expands on the four original tenets.
== Background ==
The 4B Movement takes its roots in online communities such as Megalia and WOMAD during a period of intense gender tensions in South Korea, a country that is plagued with systemic gender inequality. It was developed by women online as a silent and non-violent way to protest misogyny. By actively choosing not to partake in relationships with men, women in this movement seek to avoid what they see as an existential threat to their lives.
=== Megalia ===
[[Megalia]] is a now-defunct website that started in August of 2015 as a response to the misogyny many women face by Korean men, particularly on websites dominated by men such as DC Inside. “Megallians”, as users of the website were often called, turned to a strategy of “mirroring”, where they would mimic and invert the misogynistic language and behavior typically aimed at women and direct it towards men instead. This tactic was seen as divisive and offensive by many, which led to a lot of public backlash. The website shut down in 2017.
=== Womad ===
WOMAD is a more radical split from Megalia created in 2016 after differing opinions arose regarding the inclusion of gay men, transgender identified men, and others who were not explicitly women. While Megalia was more inclusive to groups perceived as minorities, WOMAD took a different approach and created an explicitly women-only space. WOMAD took a more unapologetic and radical approach instead opting to focus solely on women’s rights without watering down the feminist movement by including other movements in their activism.
