## Resource

This week on Timesuck, we dive into the 4B Movement - a radical feminist movement that originated in South Korea and centers on four simple rules: no sex with men, no dating men, no marriage, and no children. Why are some Korean women reacting to by taking such extreme measures? We’ll explore how this movement formed, why it's resonated, and how this controversial movement leapt from Korean internet forums all the way to the U.S.
