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.

Lmao all we need to do is deny men any meaningful relationships, that'll deradicalize them for sure

I would love to hear other opinions. If you think that ostracizing the specific demographic that you needed for this election is a good idea, please let me know. Personally, I think it's incredibly stupid. If the only women that a guy is able to get the time of day from are conservatives, I think that's gonna make guys more open to conservatism.

Because people refuse to read the article, it says

The idea behind the movement is individual resistance against what it defines as a conservative political environment and the corrosion of reproductive rights.

This is explicitly a movement attempting to affect political change, at least according to the article that we're discussing. I understand and support swearing off relationships for the sake of protecting yourself, but that is not the argument that the article is making.

I don't think it's different enough from the norm to effect anything. Do you think men will even notice?

[–] Jax 15 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Yes?? They've clearly been noticing and acting out??

We are very much in the ' village burning down ' part of "A child shunned by its village will burn it down to feel its warmth."

They were acting out before though. The 4B movement is a response to the abuse.

This is what's happening, and if you really want to understand it I recommend the book "Controlling People," by Patricia Evans:

  • Man abuses woman because he feels loved when he violates her boundaries (instead of showing love by respecting boundaries in a healthy relationship)
  • She asserts boundaries (a limit on her own self) as part of the human condition
  • He then amplifies abuse to punish her for breaking from his control and for having boundaries, because it made him feel too separate and not enmeshed, which causes attachment wounds

They are mad they can't literally abuse us into submission like Andrew Tate claims. They are mad we aren't stupid and easy to manipulate, like they'd been lead to believe. They are jealous of beauty and happiness because they are so miserable because men lack community that is kind to women. And that's all of ya'lls fault. Instead you made manipulative PUA groups.

They will keep amplifying their abuse, like literally all abusers (see: Why Does He Do That?) until we are dead or they are in jail. It doesn't even matter if we behave "well," all that matters to them is that we feed their ego of control and entitlement over us.

No. You don't have to do that so neither will I.

Why don't you warm up that guy yourself? A hole is a hole, right? Why don't you suck off these on the fence guys to win them over? I'm sure there are plenty of bi and gay ones you can convince.

Ah yes, because women can't be abusive.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is now. If people like you continue to neglect the conditions that lead to young men being brainwashed by red pill, manosphere bullshit - things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better.

I don't really care to read anything that paints men as abusive controllers. I'm interested in making things better, not making things worse.

What are you doing for this? Show me some screenshots from socials of your work there. I'll accept even 1 comment in the last 2 weeks of you reaching out to a fellow guy debunking redpill content.

[–] Jax 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Remember, when Trump's Youth doesn't seem to be getting any weaker with each passing year - you did your part.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Wait so you can't post any proof, not even a comment you made on social, of you speaking to a fellow man about redpill or manosphere content, to specifically stop them from being rightwing?

You can scroll through my entire comment history and can find me educating men about feminism constantly for free. Talk about unpaid women's labor. It's not me who didn't do the work.

Yet again blaming women for the abuse of men. Literal victim blaming. Nice. Have you thought about how your actions drive women away?

[–] Jax 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I'm sorry, I should have responded to this:

'WhErE's YoUr PrOoF'

God, I don't care how morally pious you think you are. There's a very clear path that led us here, you helped pave it. I don't use social media outside of Lemmy, with the occasional query for Reddit when I need help with a hobby.

Imagine being so terminally online that you, within very few keystrokes of one another, go "PrOvE iT" while suggesting that I should sift through your trash opinions - completely ignoring that you can do the same with mine.

The world is going to get worse. Wake the fuck up and realize why or perish, I don't care which.

Edit: no that wasn't fair, I'll let you RAFO.

Edit 2: Oooooh, you're a sealion! Great, I've got you tagged now.

Wow, what a mess of projection that was. 'You' 'you' 'you,' lol

[–] Jax 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

'Projection'

I see you've chosen to perish. Good luck.

Eat shit, freak

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Yes, because being part of the majority voting for Trump is clearly the same as being shunned. Women should just give up their bodies to these disgusting creatures for the good of the country ./s

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Right? Wtf, handmaids tale shit

[–] Jax -1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The crux of the issue presents itself.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. You want to help create more MAGATs? Keep ignoring young men and the problems they have.

What are out of power left-leaning women supposed to do to fix the problems with these losers? They voted for the "we have problems and we're being ignored" party after listening to bro podcasts all day and they will now control three branches of government.

Why is it ok for in power politicians to continually ignore the needs of the people voting for them? Why does nobody notice how "men's problems" continue even as the spiteful fucks they vote for have massive amounts of power?

Fixing young men isn't up to childless, left leaning, powerless women.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Obviously for women to be heard they must be silent. And up is down. And this isn't doublespeak.

Have fun dealing with the new Hitler's youth.

Yes, threaten women with violence when they don't do as you say. Nice.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What is your suggested solution concretely? are blaming young women for the problems of young men.

[–] starman2112 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

No, they're blaming the Democratic party and its online advocates for not taking young men seriously as a voting demographic

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, read their comment. They think women should fuck progressive men to stop them from becoming right wing.

[–] starman2112 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

No, that's a very naive and simplistic way of reading this thread. Jax's comment

[...] You want to help create more MAGATs? Keep ignoring young men and the problems they have.

Wasn't supporting the literal suggestion that "women should just give up their bodies to these disgusting creatures for the good of the country," it was regarding Eatspancakes84's dismissive attitude towards the genuine problems that young men face.

Problems that, I will add, the Republican party will not fix. Voters are stupid though, and vote based on vibes. If the vibe of one side is "I don't give a shit about you," and the vibe of the other side is "you matter and your problems are valid," the average voter is more likely to vote for the latter, if at all.

I'll also add that women do in fact face more problems than men. Your rights are being eroded much faster than ours. My discussion of how to convince men to vote for our side should not be interpreted as dismissal of women's issues. All I'm saying (and it is all that I'm saying) is that we need to avoid situations where apathetic or conservative men see our comments and think we don't give a shit about them. Not because I want to protect the feelings of conservative men, but because we needed their votes, and we will need their votes to prevent another Trump win.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

What about your dismissive attitudes towards women and how it drives them away? What about the problems men refuse to fix that women bring up?

You are catering to men who want to enslave us. I recommend the book "Stop Caretaking the Borderline or Narcissist." It will show you that it's pointless to cater to them. They were always going to be hostile.

Someone didn't read my reply.

You can reply if you want, but I'm done

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

I did and I dismissed your claim you werent dismissing women. Now you're dismissing me again. Answer me. Stop dismissing me.

What about your dismissive attitude and how it drives women away? Women are an easier demographic to get to vote left, after all.
