4B for Me

When the system refuses to protect you, what happens if women simply stop participating? The women of South Korea are doing just that and protesting with abstinence in the rapidly spreading movement known as 4B. Kathy Wilson and Rai Lithiluxa unpack the 4B movement, bridging global feminism and personal survival. Their voices help make sense of the chaos and illuminate the power of collective resistance. They unpack: * The 4B movement and its cultural rise * Abstinence as protest * Exploring AI’s push for women’s sexual abstinence as protest * The emotional, physical, and financial cost of childbirth and medical neglect and reproductive trauma in anti-choice states This isn’t a trend. It’s a refusal. No dating. No sex. No marriage. No childbirth. Women are stepping away from the roles and risks placed on them without care. Kathy and Rai are for it! * Do you notice women abstaining from sex in your communities? * Do you think women need a united movement? 🔗 LINKS & LITTLE EXTRAS: * NPR 4B Article- Boycott men?
