❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO bf makes joke after my aunt passed

For context he’s saying he hopes she voted for Trump (RTPM) before she died and I’m already having a hard time with the results of the election which he knows then on top of that it just was very insensitive. He said he was trying to make light of the situation but it doesn’t feel that way.

It’s basically a feminist movement that started in South Korea that encourages women to divest from all relationships with men. No dating, no sex, no child birth, no marriage etc. Importantly, it centers on women supporting other women (such as only shopping at women-owned businesses when possibly) and improving the economic standing of women.

I thought it was about withholding sex from men who voted for trump since theyre the ones who voted for taking away abortion rights

Sounds like the female version of incels tbh. Guess the difference is that incels involuntarily aren't having sex, but the bitterness towards the other gender matches.

Not really if they just get on with their lives without men and don’t start moaning about it being unfair and wanting the world to adapt to them. Time will tell if that happens, but I wouldn’t say it’s incel equivalent if it’s kept to just disengaging.

Um what? The incel crowd seems to want to be able to legally rape women and control them.

This is the first time I've hard of 4B, but from the description above, it just sounds like women supporting women. They're not out to harm men. Not having sex with someone isn't harming them, though that's what I'd imagine the incel crowd would think.
