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.

I never said it was my place. I gave up on romance years ago so this movement doesn't even affect me. Although I do agree with them in principle. The purpose of my comment was only to correct the person I responded to who was misrepresenting the scope of the protest. They said the movement was specifically targeted at misogynists and it is not. It impacts all men (or at least those seeking a romantic relationship with a woman) regardless of their attitude towards women. There's nothing to interpret about it. Men get nothing until they get their rights back. It's not even really about misogyny.

To be clear, I mean "you" as in the general you, not you specifically. Didn't mean for it to come off as an attack.
