my fellow white people we need to stop posting about the 4B movement, I have been reliably informed (and then verified via a 3 second google) that it is a transphobic radfem fringe group, and also that americans with no connection to korean culture don't have a good grasp on how gender and misogyny work in korea and therefore do not have a good understanding of the movement or the conditions that produced it

[hope-whispers]

Qué satisfaction!!

[hope-whispers]

For any women looking at the radical feminist 4B or 6B4T movements and wondering how to commit, here are the tenants:

4B stands for:

1. no sex with biological men (비섹스; bisekseu)

2. no giving birth (비출산; bichulsan)

3. no dating men (비연애; biyeonae)

4. no marriage with men (비혼; bihon)

To add the tenants of 6B4T, you must also commit to:

5. no purchase of sexist products (비소비; bisobi)

6. fully supporting other single women who are practicing and committed to the movement (비돕비; bidopbi)

And fully reject:

1. strict beauty standards (탈코르셋; talkoreuset)

2. hyper-sexual depictions of women (탈오타쿠; tarotaku)

3. religion (탈종교; taljonggyo)

4. idol culture (탈아이돌; taraidol)

My wish and my hope is that many more American libfems will genuinely join us radfems in committing to the 6B4T or 4B movements.

However, please don’t just toss these terms out indiscriminately. These movements stand for very specific protest behaviors and commitments.

(And perhaps this movement is not for you, that’s okay! It’s a big commitment and perhaps you’re not ready. Radicalization is a process and not everyone is at the same place. So, no judgement!)

But please, please my libfem sisters, don’t pretend to be 4B or 6B4T without a true intention and desire to commit. It won’t help the movement, and you’ll just harm genuine efforts both locally and globally.

kamala would’ve been such a breath of fresh air as a president too, inherently so bc she’s not an old white male but also because she’s young and competent and personable and it would’ve been nice to be represented by someone like that

men are a threat to democracy and planetary survival. MEN ARE A THREAT TO HUMAN RIGHTS AND PLANETARY SURVIVAL. we will go nowhere if we do not first deal with this. they are literally the primary drivers of extinction and it's futile to argue otherwise.

I haven’t really seen any of the more recent U.S. election news hitting tumblr yet so here’s some updates (now edited with sources added):

There’s evidence of Trump cheating and interfering with the election.

Possible Russian interference.

Mail-in ballots are not being counted or “recognized” in multiple (notably swing) states.

30+ bomb threats were called in and shut down polling stations on Election Day.

20+ million votes are still unaccounted for, and that’s just to have the same voter turnout as 2020.

There was record voter turnout and new/first-time voter registration this year. We definitely should be well over the turnout in 2020.

U.S. citizens are using this site to demand, not only a recount, but a complete investigation into election fraud and interference for the reasons stated above:

Here is what I submitted as an example:

An investigation for election interference and fraud is required. We desperately need a recount or even a revote. The American people deserve the right to a free and fair election. There has been evidence unveiled of Trump cheating and committing election fraud which is illegal. There is some evidence of possible Russian interference. At least 30+ bomb threats were called in to polling places. Multiple, notably swing states, have ballots unaccounted for and voting machines not registering votes. Ballots and ballot boxes were tampered with and burned. Over 20 million votes that we know of are unaccounted for. With record turnout and new voter registration this year, there should be no possibility that there are less votes than even in the 2020 election.

Sources (working on finding more links but if anyone wants to add info, it’s appreciated):

FBI addressing Russian interference and bomb threats:

Emails released by Rachael Bellis (private account, can’t share original tweet) confirming Trump committing election fraud:

Pennsylvania's Centre County officials say they are working with their ballot scanner vendor to figure out why the county's mail-in ballot data is "not being recognized when uploaded to the elections software:”

Wisconsin recount:

[ID:

A screenshot with a link and information for contacting the White House directly regarding election fraud. The instructions include choosing to leave a comment to President Joe Biden directly and to select election security as the reason.

The screenshot then instructs people to include any or all of the following information in a paragraph as a comment to the president:

32 fake bomb threats were called into Democratic leaning poll places, rendering polling places closed for at least an hour.

A lot of people reporting their ballots were not counted for various reasons.

This all occurred in swing states.

This is too coincidental that these things happen and swing in his favor after months of hinting at foul play.

Directly state that an investigation for tampering, interference, fraud is required, not just a recount.

If it makes any of you feel better, Donald Trump will have an uphill battle to change the constitution. He will need:

-2/3 of Senators (60)

-2/3 of the House of Representatives (290)

-3/4 of the states (38)

In 2026, 33 senate seats will be up for grabs, and we’ll be able to vote for people who are against Trump and his ideals.

Breathe and remain hopeful because it’s not over. We can still fight and make Trump’s last four years hell.

Plan for the next 4+ years:

NO romantic relationships with men

Delete/deactivate your dating apps

Arm yourself

Learn how to fight

Keep yourself healthy, educated, and self-sufficient

Make lots of female friends and stand with them

Join womens groups/activities

Speak up for yourself and protest injustice

Help your fellow woman

Prioritize women's art (books, art, ect)

Do absolutely NOTHING to impress men

Actively speak over/report/block men in online discussions

Live your life FOR YOU

If you've heard about a woman you know having an abortion, no, you didn't. Keep it to yourself.

Prioritize YOURSELF and OTHER WOMEN (not men)

Don't lose hope, ladies. We will prevail! 🫂

I am SO fucking proud of Missouri!!! I cannot believe I get to be apart of this historic moment; according to Missourians for Constitutional Freedom, Missouri was the first state to enact a total abortion ban when Roe v. Wade was overturned, and now is the FIRST STATE TO OVERTURN A TOTAL ABORTION BAN! I signed the petition to get this amendment on the ballot and then I helped vote it into law! MISSOURI WOMEN HAVE SPOKEN AND WE WANT REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM!
