Why some women ‘boycott’ men, from Ancient Greece to the 4B Movement
Update: 2024-11-19
Description
Some women in the United States are adopting the 4B Movement from South Korea: no marriage, no childbirth, no dating, and no sex. This hour we take stock of that movement globally, and the history of other similar movements, including one depicted in an ancient Greek play, Lysistrata.
