Some excerpts from the New York Times opinion article.
No dating men, no sex with men, no heterosexual marriage and no childbirth. These are the four principles of South Korea’s 4B movement, a radical feminist movement that gained popularity in 2019, in response to sexism, hidden camera pornography and intimate partner violence.
Trump’s win was devastating for many women. Their rage is understandable, but a 4B-style reaction is not constructive or sustainable. Women shouldn’t reduce their ability to demand policy changes and equal dignity to the ways in which we should or should not have sex or bear children. The 4B philosophy is shortsighted, primarily because it demonizes men, including those who champion equality and reproductive freedom, while constraining the women who participate in it.
Women also must take this opportunity to bring men along with us. Changing gender roles is a main reason many young men say they feel economically and socially left behind.
Instead of boycotting men, feminists should acknowledge the legitimate ways men have lost ground in education, employment and health.

This sounds like a load of pick-me nonsense. Her and other woman who think like her can have these failed men.
The problem with opinion pieces is they’re not news stories so they don’t get fact-checked in the same way. (Am a journalist, have been in a legacy print news room in the U.S.)
There aren’t “legitimate” ways men have lost ground in education, employment and health. That’s a “you problem” with them. They’re lazy and entitled and society keeps telling them that. Why is that our fault or our job to fix?
She can keep this bullshit to herself next time.
