    Surprised to see none of the comments mentioning the 4B movement

      went to read up on it and not suprised. Cousins friend of a friend went to Korea for vacation once and was raped on her trip there. Grew androphobia because of the incident.

      if youre female in South Korea, please try avoiding going to clubs and parties, especially if you dont have a person to watch over you.

        it’s a feminist movement, in backlash to misogyny and pro-natalism in South Korea (it’s becoming more widespread, though). The 4Bs are the “four no’s”:

        • no dating men
        • no sex with men
        • no marriage with men
        • no childbearing

        It gets a lot of pushback and is called selfish etc. but women are very angry & upset that the government only sees them for their reproductive use, and it’s reasonable to not want to date someone who doesn’t view you as human.
