Everything I've heard about patriarchy in SK makes it sound like absolute hell. What's that maybe exists maybe not movement where women are essentially doing 70s feminist secession from men? I've heard a bit about it and some of the interviews with women about the shit they go through are harrowing.

NATOpedai: 4B movement

4B (or "Four Nos") is a feminist movement whose proponents refuse to 1) date men, 2) get married, 3) have sex with men, or 4) have children.

The 4B movement got outed as being TERF.

To add

The movement has approximately 3,400 members on Naver

Pretty damn small to boot

Yeah Americans love to say things like “the population decline in South Korea is because of the 4b movement” when it’s not a big thing at all. It drives me crazy. It’s just buying into right wing propaganda about population decline.

Yeah, my understanding is it's one of those things where the line between an actual movement, a symbolic expression of rage, and right wing fearmongering is hard to draw.
