4B (movement)
4B (or "Four No's") is a radical feminist movement originating in South Korea in 2019.[1][2] Its members renounce four activities:
- sex (Korean: 비섹스; Hanja: 非sex; RR: bisekseu),
- child-rearing (Korean: 비출산; Hanja: 非出産; RR: bichulsan),
- dating (Korean: 비연애; Hanja: 非戀愛; RR: biyeonae), and
- marriage with men (Korean: 비혼; Hanja: 非婚; RR: bihon).[1][3]
Jung Se-young and Baeck Ha-na, two proponents, criticize marriage as reinforcing gender roles in South Korea.[3] The movement draws some amount of inspiration from the novel Kim Ji-young, Born 1982, as does South Korea's MeToo and "Escape the Corset" movements.[2] The 4B movement claimed to have 4,000 members in 2019.[4]
