It’s Sad That Participating In A Movement As Simple As 4B, A Movement That Merely Requires An Inaction

It’s sad that participating in a movement as simple as 4B, a movement that merely requires an inaction that will keep women safe, is considered difficult, unusual or extreme.

4B is the bare minimum and women doing anything less than 4B shouldn’t be considered feminists.

If you’re not doing 4B, you should be ashamed, not only are you hurting yourself by dating or marrying men, you’re hurting everyone else around you too.

If your boyfriend or husband becomes violent, it won’t only be you that has to deal with the violence, your family, potential children and potential pets may face it too.

Even in a best case scenario situation in which your boyfriend or husband never becomes violent and is kind to you, you’re being a horrible example to any girls looking up to you, you wouldn’t get blackout drunk in front of a child, would you? No, you wouldn’t. So don’t normalize dating oppressors or act as if heterosexual relationships are typically healthy either, most heterosexual relationships are toxic, and like I said previously, even if what we’re talking about here is a best case scenario and your man is decent, there is still an inherent power imbalance between men and women, meaning no heterosexual relationship can be considered healthy.

Now, repeat after me:

4B is an amazing, merciful movement, it’s the opposite of what men and anti-feminist women paint it out to be. 4B will undoubtedly save lives if enough women do it. Every baby not born is one less baby that will be an oppressor or victim. Every baby not born is one less baby that will contribute to climate change, meaning that neither babies or adults will have to suffer in the future due to a lack of resources.
