4B or "Four Nos" is a radical feminist movement that emerged in South Korea during the mid-to-late 2010s on Twitter and on the website Womad. The name refers to its defining four tenets which all start with the Korean-language term bi (Korean: 비; Hanja: 非 ) , roughly meaning "no". Its proponents do not date, get married, have sex, or have children with men.

In the United States, interest in 4B increased after the re-election of Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race. Social media videos primarily reflected the idea that men had voted against women's rights by voting for Trump, and that women should not engage with men, heterosexual sex, or pregnancy if they will not be respected as equals or have full legal access to birth control and abortion.

In South Korea, a portion of its members, particularly those associated with the openly misandric Womad, were described as transphobic and homophobic.

I will avoid them as much as humanly possible. It's tricky with family though. My in-laws are Trumpists and I love them (mostly), so I will associate with them, but I will not tolerate any Trump talk in my house. Best I can do at the moment.
