Female fertility is back in the news, with Vice President Kamala Harris’s failed presidential hopes. In protest to President-elect Donald Trump’s win, faithful Harris followers are swearing off four things: sex, dating, marriage, and children. The idea first cropped up in South Korea in the late 2010s and is now known as 4B, with the B referencing “no” in Korean.

But long before 4B, feminism targeted women’s fertility and the family. Feminists liked the sex and dating part — hoping that women could be as promiscuous as men, without consequences — while targeting the marriage and children part. Motherhood was quickly erased as a goal of fertile women.
