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.
Who said women aren’t being oppressed? Who said that men are being oppressed? Who said I was a man?
Sorry if you’ve been hurt, but that is no excuse for sexism. To be clear: lumping all men into a group is sexism. Grouping all people by some factor that is beyond their control is prejudice. It’s really as simple as that. Again, I’m sorry if you’ve been hurt, but that’s no excuse for that response.
To repeat: the reality is that not all men back the ugliness that Trump and his supporters promote. To claim otherwise is to rob yourself of allies. It is self defeating.
