Why are US women backing the '4B' movement to swear off men after Trump's election victory?

Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election has sparked interest among Americans in South Korea's "4B" fringe feminist movement, which urges women not to date, marry, sleep with, or have children with men.

Across Instagram, TikTok and X, American women have been sharing 4B's tenets — "bihon" (no marriage with men), "biyeonae" (no dating), "bichulsan" (no giving birth) and "bisekseu" (no sex with men) — and calling for the movement to take off in the US. Many of the videos about 4B posted on TikTok have gone viral, gaining millions of views.
