    Am I missing something or is 4B essentially MGTOW for women?

    Just viewed through a more positive lens specifically because it’s women.

      It’s more a reaction to the policies that make relationships and pregnancy dangerous. Why settle down when you could be one of the 1/5 natural miscarriages and potentially go into septic shock or blow a fallopian tube?

        So, we have a group of men looking at the state of the world (and in particular law/society on gender issues) and deciding they are just going to opt out of the whole relationships/marriage/children thing and swear off women. Is there any world in which that would not be described as misogynistic by default? The swearing off itself is seen as misogyny before you go even a step further.

        But this proves my point - that it’s women swearing off men rather than the reverse causes it to be viewed more positively.
