Women’s Sexual Strike Gains Momentum as Protest Against Trump’s Victory
The resurgence of the 4B movement in America sees liberal women pledging celibacy in response to the recent presidential election outcome.
Following Donald Trump’s presidential election victory, a coalition of liberal women in the U.S. is gaining traction with a bold pledge of a sex strike aimed at opposing the president’s agenda. This movement draws inspiration from the Korean feminist “4B movement,” which promotes a lifestyle of abstaining from sex, dating, marriage, and motherhood with men in protest of perceived oppression. Framed as a response to an election that many Democrats view as a threat to women's rights, these women are channeling their frustration into a collective vow to withhold intimacy from men, especially those who supported Trump.
In the wake of Vice President Kamala Harris’s defeat, interest in this approach has surged across social media platforms, with many women sharing their commitment through viral TikTok videos. One notable clip features a young woman calling for the deletion of dating apps, encouraging individuals to reclaim their bodily autonomy as a proactive way to confront the current political climate. This movement is seen as grounded in a historical context, echoing past protests that have sought to leverage female agency to drive societal change.
Responses to the pledge have been mixed. While supporters view the strike as an empowering assertion of control, critics caution that it may risk alienating potential allies or distract from more pressing issues within the feminist agenda. However, the overwhelming support for the movement underscores the heightened urgency felt by many progressive women in the aftermath of Trump’s victory. As this initiative unfolds, its broader implications for discussions surrounding gender relations and power dynamics are likely to remain a focal point of debate in American society.
