Boycott men? South Korea's 4B movement gains traction in the U.S.

South Korea has had this for a while (women opting out in a harmful/adversarial macro) and China did this with their one child policy and cultural beliefs.

> More than 60 percent of young men are single, nearly twice the rate of unattached young women, signaling a larger breakdown in the social, romantic and sexual life of the American male.

> Men in their 20s are more likely than women in their 20s to be romantically uninvolved, sexually dormant, friendless and lonely. They stand at the vanguard of an epidemic of declining marriage, sexuality and relationships that afflicts all of young America.

> “Women don’t need to be in long-term relationships. They don’t need to be married. They’d rather go to brunch with friends than have a horrible date,” said Greg Matos, a couple and family psychologist in Los Angeles, who recently penned a viral article titled “What’s Behind the Rise of Lonely, Single Men.”

> Heterosexual women are getting more choosy. Women “don’t want to marry down,” to form a long-term relationship to a man with less education and earnings than herself, said Ronald Levant, professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Akron and author of several books on masculinity.

> “Today in America, women expect more from men,” Levant said, “and unfortunately, so many men don’t have more to give.”

> The strategy reflected a reality that has since been unveiled by the results—a gendered battle intensified by young people, who are fighting for a sense of individual purchase on a world they have barely begun to properly live in. Those Pennsylvania exit polls. The ones in North Carolina, where young female voters went for Harris by thirty-three points and young male voters went for Trump by twenty-three. The fact that the entire nation, more or less, is shifting rightward at least a little, but that men aged eighteen to twenty-nine have moved almost thirty points rightward since 2020. If the 2016 election illuminated the shocking state of white women’s loyalties, the 2024 election has instantly done the same for young men.

I believe this age group correctly represents the kind of people taking this supposed movement seriously. Have they considered their own female friends may also be Trump supporters? The difference is just 2% between men and women.

However there's a pretty stark difference between how their narratives begin:

1. "My isolation is unjust, from bad people attempting to hurt me."

2. "My isolation is justified way to make bad people feel hurt."

Combine those two confrontational stories with a male/female split, and you get four quadrants.

When men do it it's cowardly and needy, a result of being so unworthy that no reasonable person would want to be around them.

We the people will continue to exist. This society shall endure!
