Making America Great Again may not work out so great for some American men in the bedroom.

A number of feminists are going on a sex strike in retaliation for Donald Trump’s presidential victory.

According to videos and social media posts compiled and cited by the Daily Telegraph, liberal women are drawing inspiration from the South Korean “4B” movement, which commits women to four “no” behaviors toward men — dating, sex, marriage and children. (The Korean prefix for negative words is “bi.”)

Interest in the movement has spiked since Mr. Trump’s victory over Democrat Kamala Harris, who not only would have been the first female U.S. president but who also sought to make the election a referendum on abortion.

“For the next four years I am going to abstain from sex with men,” said a woman in one TikTok video cited by the Telegraph.

Abortion was specifically cited by one woman who said “if all these men are voting to take our rights away, they don’t deserve to touch a woman for the next four years. So, hope you thought that through you guys.”

Another woman referring to Florida’s rejection of a proposal to enshrine abortion rights in the state and said “good luck getting laid. Especially in Florida, because me and my girlies are participating in the 4B movement.”

In another TikTok video, the young woman not only vows to refuse sex but encourages others to delete dating apps.

“As a woman, my bodily autonomy matters and this is my way to exercise sovereignty over that,” she says. “I highly encourage any other women who are single and still care about progressing women’s rights and still fighting for our bodily autonomy to do the same. Delete your dating apps.”

She described the 4B movement as a “point of inspiration.”

Another video was captioned: “I think it’s time for American women to participate in our own 4B movement.”
