🤔4B movement against Trump supporters? That makes very little sense.

theguardian.com/us-news/2024/n

Again, the majority of white women voters, voted for Trump🤷🏿‍♂️

37% of voters are white women, who voted 54% for Trump.

34% of voters are white men, who voted 60% for Trump.

So in total, white men contributed only ~2% more Trump votes than white women.

We keep trying to frame this election as something that men voters did to women. In reality, it's something that white voters did to everyone else.

The Guardian · ‘No man will touch me until I have my rights back’: why is the 4B movement going viral after Trump’s win?By Alaina Demopoulos

@mekkaokereke Normalizing that you can reject a partner romantically for their politics is good whether it moves the needle or not. Some people are raised to be deferential or polite in wildly inappropriate situations.

Of course!

* You can reject your partner's advances for *any* reason. Including no reason at all.👍🏿

* You can reject your partners' desire to have kids for *any* reason. Including no reason at all.👍🏿

Similar to the conversations about "You should be able to hide your vote from your partner," this is not at all an argument denying the prevalence of DV or coercion. This is 100% about rejecting the cynical attempt to mitigate the agency of white women in their own decisions and actions.
