After Trump’s election, women are swearing off sex with men. This has been a long time coming | Cécile Simmons

When misogyny reigns supreme, a sex strike can be a feminist act, says Cécile Simmons, an investigative researcher at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue

It only took a few hours after news of Donald Trump’s re-election for a sad spectacle to unfold online and beyond. The far-right slogan “Your body, my choice”, tweeted by white nationalist pundit and organiser Nick Fuentes, spread online and off, sparking waves of abuse against women. “You no longer have rights” was one of many similar messages addressed to women by extreme misogynist Andrew Tate, who is facing trial for rape and human trafficking charges in Romania. (He denies these charges.) Meanwhile, calls for the creation of “rape squads” emerged in far-right groups.

This onslaught of violently misogynistic speech made even clearer what had already been plain to see: that too many men do not view women as people with equal dignity and rights but as inferior creatures to be coerced. And this in turn has sparked another reaction. Since Trump’s election, 4B, a South Korean-founded separatist movement of women who swear off relationships with men, has been trending on social media.


This viral moment highlights a feeling that has been brewing for much longer: women’s discontent with heterosexual relationships and their anger at men’s increasingly unchecked misogyny. In recent years, male supremacist ideology has become mainstream, promoted by manosphere entrepreneurs who are thriving in the attention economy by feeding young men’s resentment towards women.

Some women also just use the apps for validation (or to boost their social media following) and have no intention of meeting guys. Due to the amount of male simps that are there, almost every women is inundated with likes and matches.

Yeah, online dating is probably screwing over average guys the most. Most women think they can attract above their league so it's something like 20% of guys that get the vast majority of likes from women. It's like it's reinforcing the laws of nature where the alpha males attract the most attention from women.

This might also be a factor behind the anger in the "manosphere".
