4B Soft Power

South Korea suffers from misogyny, bad treatment of women. Publicly festering many years now, the complex situation got highly recognized with the creepy murder (17 May 2016) of a young woman in Gangnam (강남역 화장실 살인사건 추모 운동) and later via the 4B movement 4비운동 asserting female abilities   4B:

비연애  Biyeonae = No dating men                   ❤️

비섹스  Bisekseu = No hetero sex

비혼  Bihon = No hetero marriage

비출산  Bichulsan = No childbirth

US Women have now reportedly begun wielding 4B measures to limit bullying & chauvinism, similar to ancient Lysistrata of Greece. Fight!   Good Luck!                 

 [acc. to Jiji Press]: 4B運動は、男性とのデート、性行為、結婚を拒否し、子供も産まないという「四つの誓い」で、数年前に韓国で始まったとされる。Bは韓国語の「非(ビ)」をアルファベット表記した頭文字だ。

Soft power  for change!
