As a first generation feminist Democrat, I went... "4B? Huh???? Never heard of it (neither has anyone else I know.)
Soooo -- the reason we haven't heard of it is that it's a Korean movement. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...rump-women
Conservative men have reported that they have trouble finding women to date and marry https://www.aei.org/articles/are-conserv...get-dates/ in part because women (overall) tend to be somewhat more liberal than men (let's face it, the life of a 50's housewife is why so many of my mother's generation turned to drugs and drink)
This is somewhat true globally... think of the life of women in hardcore Muslim countries -- many want OUT of the burka and into the kind of lifestyle that most American women have (in other words, for the culture of their country they are liberals.) City women and educated women tend to prefer centrist or liberal men... and you might want to note that more women than men are now getting college degrees.
Angry women here in the US have talked about embracing the 4B movement -- not forever, but until they get back on an equal footing. The ancient Greeks had a play about something similar -- Lysistrata. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysistrata)
Anyway, it's not a big part of the liberal culture. I don't see it as a lasting or permanent move though it may give liberal and centrist men an even bigger advantage in the dating environment.
