This new ‘feminist’ TikTok trend is actually tragic

Some angry women on TikTok are shaving their heads to protest the election, and it’s unclear how President-elect Donald Trump will ever recover.
Just kidding. Trump will never hear about these viral stunts, and even if he did, he would probably only laugh at the women pulling them. However, millions of impressionable young women are seeing this content, and not just the most extreme, outrageous videos. An entire TikTok movement is now giving young women terrible life advice in the name of “feminism.”
It’s called the 4B movement, and it originated in South Korea when many young women, facing true gender barriers, intense social coercion toward marriage, and widespread male partner violence, swore off dating men, getting married, having sex, and having children altogether. It picked up steam in some pockets of TikTok before the election, but, as reported by the New York Times, U.S. interest in the 4B movement has truly exploded since Trump’s surprising landslide victory.
“Searches for ‘4B Movement’ in the United States spiked the day after the election, according to Google Trends,” the New York Times reported Friday. “Dozens of videos on the topic have popped up on TikTok in the last 48 hours, with users sharing why they are for or against the movement’s gaining steam in the United States.”
