After Trump's Victory, the 4B Movement Is Spreading Across TikTok
The 4B movement, from South Korea, calls for women to not date, marry, sleep with, or have children with men. Women are calling for the movement to take off in the US after Donald Trump won the election.

https://www.wired.com/story/trump-election-4b-movement-tiktok-x-reddit/

55% of men and 45% of women voted for Trump.

Trump has received <51% of the vote so far (still counting)

65% said that they supported legal abortion rights.

There's a significant chunk that supported by abortion rights and voted for Donald Trump anyway.

I can see this happening. The more men try to control women, the less we will want to do with them. Electing Trump isn't going to get those incels laid.

‘Your body, my choice’: Women report rise in online misogyny following Trump victory

‘The masks are fully off now,’ one person claimed

Incels since forever have underestimated the wrath of Women.
Do they honestly think hurting Women will lead to Women submitting? Women fought with Claws and Teeth all their existence to be where they are.
And that was when Men were far more intimidating.

A simple fact in life is that we Men need Women far more than Women need us.
I mean, let us be real here...Men pay for Women to literally send them photos of their feet and stuff.
BDSM is a incredible popular fetish for Men, they like to be dominated.

Hell has no Fury like a Woman...and this new generation incels will find out how True these words are.
