In the hours following former President Donald Trump’s election victory, Google searches related to 4B — a fringe South Korean feminist movement that made a name for itself in the mid to late 2010s — surged in the United States.
Not all men backed the ugliness. (To lump them altogether is sexist.) The ones who didn’t should be supported.
I’m sure explaining not all men to them will turn this whole thing around.
I’m sure pulling an Idiocracy will turn this whole thing around.
See how useful that is?
Please look up why “not all men” is a silly point to make.
Because we all know the response to that is too many men? Right? But women voted against women, how do you fix that? How do you sit and blame all the men for your problems when it was also women who wanted these things to happen?
Implying they understand what is going to happen.
Tens of millions of women voted for Trump; so men should go around blaming women, right?

You are precisely the kind of insidious creep we want to avoid.
Who said women aren’t being oppressed? Who said that men are being oppressed? Who said I was a man?
Sorry if you’ve been hurt, but that is no excuse for sexism. To be clear: lumping all men into a group is sexism. Grouping all people by some factor that is beyond their control is prejudice. It’s really as simple as that. Again, I’m sorry if you’ve been hurt, but that’s no excuse for that response.
To repeat: the reality is that not all men back the ugliness that Trump and his supporters promote. To claim otherwise is to rob yourself of allies. It is self defeating.
