The term “Stay Dry” now has an all-new meaning thanks to a young woman who goes by the name of Clare Clearly on TikTok. In a recent video, Clare declared her decision to withhold intimacy from men who supported Donald Trump’s election, framing it as a protest against policies impacting women’s rights, particularly abortion access. Her post, which has since gone viral, states that she has an IQ of 130 and will now “stay dry” — refraining from sleeping with Trump-supporting men as a form of personal and political statement.

Clare’s stance has sparked renewed interest in the “4B” or “Four Nos” movement, which originally emerged in South Korea during the mid-to-late 2010s on platforms like Twitter and the website Womad. The movement’s four core principles are reflected in its name where women vow not to date, get married, have sex, or have children with men. Rooted in radical feminist ideals, 4B encourages women to re-evaluate traditional relationships as a response to gender inequality and patriarchy.

4B has started to pick up steam in the U.S. following Donald Trump’s re-election. On social media, many of these women are now aligning themselves with the principles of 4B, with some even shaving their heads in solidarity.

Men and women alike have voiced their opinions on the trend. One tweet read, “Should men also create a 4B movement and only date beautiful conservative women?” sparking further discussion about relationships as political statements. Another commenter observed, “Not to be that guy, but the 4B movement won’t work in America because white women would have to LEGITIMATELY swear off their oppressors. At no point in history have they stood by their sisters of color long enough for change to happen. I’m not saying that to be cruel.”

As the debate intensifies, the trend has highlighted deeper questions about solidarity, relationships, and political alignment. While some women see the “Stay Dry” movement as a message of bodily autonomy and resistance, others remain skeptical of its impact. Detractors, including some men, have even encouraged it, saying “good riddance” or questioning its long-term effectiveness.

Whether “Stay Dry” and the resurgence of the 4B ideals in America will gain lasting traction or fade as a social media trend, they’re prompting people to consider just how far political beliefs extend into the most personal areas of life, adding a new layer to the ongoing conversation about gender, autonomy, and rights.
