I feel like this is only really a lever that can be tweaked on the subset of American men who didn't vote or voted for Trump and are in a relationship with a woman who is part of this movement. Which I can't believe is very large.

This is not putting the burden on women of this movement but it will inevitably be used in fascist talking points about how the "libruls are brainwashing women to not have sex with you", further propaganda that will go into radicalizing young men.

Not all men backed the ugliness. (To lump them altogether is sexist.) The ones who didn’t should be supported.

As a man, I’m support this movement. Mainly because we don’t need more people on this crowded miserable planet. 7 billions is more than enough, preferably 3-4 billions.

The best way to do this is increase the wealth of 2nd and 3rd world countries.

As a man, I am also going to withhold sex from other men, for the 31st year running.

Guess what? Women voted against women's rights and voted according to how their man said to vote.

4B? Isn't this just Lysistrata?

Looks like a lot of places followed along

This will just be used as a talking point for the right. Although I will say I'm reluctant to believe that anyone is really doing this in any kind of significant number.
