Leftist abstinence never lasts long

Not that he’s joining Republicans in supporting Trump. On the contrary: these women are protesting the outcome of the election by abstaining from sex or indeed from any relation to men. As is often the case, women on the left feel threatened by the male-led political regime and see sex as the best leveler. They assumed a “sex strike” after his overthrow Roe v. Wade in 2022 and revived it after Election Day 2024, though clearly the issue caused them some turmoil before and between either of those events.

This time, it bears the name “Movement 4B”. The trend emerged in South Korea sometime in the 2010s as a radical feminist movement responding to perceived gender injustices. The wide wage gap, general gender rigidity, the #MeToo movement, and political incentives against the lowest in the world the fertility rate has probably influenced South Korean women to give up dating, marriage, children and sleeping with men. The United States has its own variations on all of its complaints, but the last part about the fertility rate is of particular importance.

Abortion is a big catalyst for American women. When a political figure or piece of legislation threatens access, pro-abortion women take it as one personal affront. Whether they use the opportunity or not, they want the option of abortion. Taking it is simple, insidious disappointment. Of course, theirs is a misunderstanding. But it translates into the revenge we see in feminist-coded abstinence: they can still lower their contribution to the birth rate while punishing men with the one act from which these women get all their action—sex.

It’s technically a radical feminist idea, although it sounds like ordinary feminism so far. The extreme reactions of a few women became really convincing to many young women. It’s hard to look at the pluming trend and separate it from Harris’ fear. Campaign Stunts Like “Fight for Reproductive Freedom” bus tour convinced impressionable women that they are in a never-ending conflict. They are fully committed and must move with the flow.

But American women are not South Korean women. Who knows how consistent they’ll prove to be, but I’m willing to bet that devotion wears off pretty quickly. First of all, women on the left are poor mental health it indicates that, if anything, they are more susceptible to the vicissitudes that depression and anxiety bring. Add to this the fact that their abstinence is entirely self-interested and rooted in nothing.

There is a reason why almost only the religious take up the abstinence these women propose. It is difficult and there is little incentive otherwise in a successful free market economy. Revealed preferences will temper their fervor over time. For now, we can encourage him.
