In this compelling episode of Call Her Daring with host Kelley Daring, we delve into the 4B movement—a radical feminist movement originating in South Korea that is reshaping how women view relationships and societal expectations. The 4B movement rejects traditional gender roles by renouncing dating men, marriage, sex with men, and having children. Instead, it focuses on personal growth, self-care, and building supportive platonic relationships.

Discover how this movement, which has gained traction through social media platforms like TikTok, challenges conventional norms and promotes a cultural shift towards finding empowerment outside of romantic relationships. We explore how the 4B movement represents a broader response to patriarchal society and its influence on women globally. Join us as we analyze the movement’s impact on gender dynamics and its role in empowering women to redefine their lives on their own terms.

Host Kelley Daring interviews Orna Donath, who conducted a study on women who regret becoming mothers and wrote a book about it (Regretting Motherhood). Orna was inspired by her previous study on Jewish Israeli women and men who don't want to be parents and the idea of women being promised that they will regret not becoming mothers troubled her and led her to explore the topic of regret and motherhood. She interviewed women who regretted becoming mothers and found that there was no previous academic study on the topic.
