A World Without Men: Inside South Korea’s 4B Movement

A World Without Men

The women of South Korea’s 4B movement aren’t fighting the patriarchy — they’re leaving it behind entirely.

For Youngmi and many others who subscribe to its basic premises, 4B, or “practicing bihon,” is the only path by which a Korean woman today can live autonomously. In their view, Korean men are essentially beyond redemption, and Korean culture, on the whole, is hopelessly patriarchal — often downright misogynistic. A 2016 survey by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family found the incidence of intimate-partner violence at 41.5 percent, significantly higher than the global average of 30 percent. While 4B’s adherents may hope to change society — through demonstrations and online activism, and by modeling an alternative lifestyle to other women — they are not trying to change the men whom they view as their oppressors. It is too soon to tell whether this movement can survive and thrive over the long haul. But its ideas and actions have already affected the country’s online discourse, its politics, and most of all, individual women’s lives.

“Practicing bihon means you’re eliminating the risks that come from heterosexual marriage or dating,” Yeowon, a 26-year-old office worker, told me on a café terrace in the seaside southern city of Busan. We talked over coffee and pastries, along with Yeowon’s girlfriend and another of their friends, all of them wearing wide black pants and black sweaters and sporting cropped short haircuts. Those risks Yeowon alluded to might seem familiar — trading career for child-rearing and housework, as well as the threat of physical violence — but in Korea, Yeowon said, marriage presents an existential threat.

The Importance of an Alternative Life to Capitalism

An alternative life to capitalism is rooted in simplicity, cooperation, and awareness. Capitalism often measures value through productivity, profit, and constant consumption, which can lead to exhaustion, inequality, and disconnection from nature and from one another.

Refusing Industrial Products and Not Feeding the System

Choosing not to consume industrial products is a conscious decision to step away from a system that profits from exploitation, excess, and dependency. Industrial food and goods are often produced through environmental destruction, low-quality ingredients, and the commodification of basic human needs.

How to Grow Edible Plants Fast and Make Natural Juices

Growing edible plants at home is easier and faster than many people think. With the right choices and simple care, it is possible to harvest fresh food in a short time. Fast-growing plants like lettuce, spinach, arugula, basil, mint, cilantro, and green onions are ideal for beginners. These plants grow well in pots, need sunlight, regular watering, and good soil rich in organic matter.

To speed up growth, it is important to water the plants consistently, avoid overwatering, and place them in a sunny area. Using compost or natural fertilizer helps the plants grow stronger and healthier. Cutting the leaves correctly instead of pulling the whole plant also allows continuous harvesting.

Natural juices made from edible plants are a healthy and refreshing option. Leaves like mint, basil, kale, and spinach can be blended with fruits such as lemon, apple, pineapple, or orange. To make a natural juice, wash the plants well, blend them with water or coconut water, and strain if necessary. Sweeteners are optional, but honey or dates are better natural choices.

Growing your own plants and turning them into natural juices connects you with nature, saves money, and improves your health in a simple and sustainable way.

The Importance of Consuming Less and Choosing Plant-Based Living

Consuming less is an important step toward a healthier life and a more balanced planet. When people reduce excess consumption, they create space for mindful choices, sustainability, and self-care. Eating more plants is one of these choices, as plants provide essential nutrients, natural energy, and support overall well-being.

Plant-based foods are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help the body heal and stay strong. Growing and preparing your own food encourages a deeper connection with nature and reduces dependence on industrial products. Simple plants like herbs, leaves, and roots can be used not only as food but also as natural remedies.

Homemade oils and natural medicines have been used for centuries. Infused oils made from plants like rosemary, lavender, garlic, or calendula can be used for skin care, relaxation, and minor aches. Teas, tinctures, and salves made at home allow people to care for themselves in a gentle and natural way, while avoiding unnecessary chemicals.

By consuming less and working with plants, we return to simpler practices that respect both the body and the Earth. This lifestyle promotes awareness, autonomy, and a healthier future for everyone.

🌸 The Importance of Edible Flowers

Edible flowers are more than decoration. They are living foods rich in nutrients, color, and natural compounds that support health and creativity in cooking. Flowers such as calendula, sunflower, nasturtium, rose, hibiscus, chamomile, and lavender can be safely consumed when grown organically.

These flowers contain antioxidants, vitamins, and gentle medicinal properties. Some help digestion, others calm the nervous system, support the skin, or boost the immune system. Including edible flowers in meals connects food with beauty, turning eating into a sensory and emotional experience.
