Following Donald Trump’s election victory, women are experiencing a surge in misogynistic harassment online, with phrases like “your body, my choice” trending as men taunt women about reproductive rights.
The phrase, co-opted from feminist slogans, reflects heightened hostility, with reports of threats on platforms like TikTok and X/Twitter.
This backlash arises as Trump’s administration, alongside VP-elect JD Vance, raises concerns about potential federal restrictions on abortion.
Even without a federal ban, existing state laws have already limited access to reproductive care, contraception, and increased maternal health risks.
"In Trump's America, rapists get to choose their baby's mama"
If that's horrific to you too, sorry. See you at the support meeting later where we will be taking money to help people and companies relo to CO or NY where rights are temporarily enshrined regionally where even reinstating "Chevron" should preserve the for a while.
If people who've terminated a pregnancy in NYC go to FL, or even get on a long domestic flight, are they at risk of arrest when they enter or pass through the confederate states?
For a lot of trump supporters, this is why they voted for him. He gave them a licence to be racist and sexist and bigoted, etc.
Al the things trump is, they are. And him being in office legitemises them. It makes them feel "heard" instead of "opressesed."
Granted (of course) hate speech and any form of misogyny or predjudice (all of the above) should be illegal. It should be "oppressed." But from their perspective, they aren't allowed to be what they are, and trump makes them feel like they can.
Its a devastating realisation that i came to whilst watching those trump rally videos where the comedians go and interview the attendees with the aim being ro let them mock themselves by being caught out in a web of contradiction.
When the interviewers say biden did x y z terrible things and the trump simps say "yeah because biden is terrible and an awful person and should be in jail" but then they pull the rug and say, "sorry, i read the wrong but, that was trump who did those things"
When faced with the fact that trump is the one who did all the awful things they suddely switch over like they are bipolar and say, oh well trump is perfect so i dont care that he did those things. Or trump had a reason that made it ok. Or oh, i did t know he did that, but im still gonna vote for him.
I've seen it already too. Was playing overwatch and the enemy tank was talking shit to our tank and he responded with "I'm glad trump won so someone will rape mercy." Was quite jarring tbh
I am so surprised. Who could have possibly foreseen that the party of grab em by the pussy, whether women like it or not, and project 2025 would be hostile and antagonistic towards women.
Honestly, avoiding sex seems like a good strategy. Even as a man, I'd fucking hate impregnating someone just to have them die in my arms in a fucking parking lot. Fuck MAGA! You people are the death of America!
Some other post had a comment (to paraphrase) for women the best choice to at least somewhat stay safer is: don't have sex with men, don't date men, don't have babies with men, don't get married. It was called the B4 movement.
As a man who sees how bad it is going to be for women in the USA for 4 years or longer, I can't disagree with the person. Though sexual assaults will go up as shitty rapists think they can't get away with what their president got away with.
It's a darth vader cosplay fetish. They wanna be a cool bad guy.
Except just the shitty parts, minus the cool costume, powers, or voice. Then they try to convince themselves it's working with seven laughing-too-hard emojis.
The fact these losers (misogynists) don’t even have shame in what they’re saying and are not afraid of the repercussions, this could have on their personal/work lives, by saying all this fucked up shit, just makes it even awful tbh. There is really no justice.
I fear that online misogyny was going to go up in general. Hell, would probably be worse with a Harris victory given how well those fucks would handle a woman president.
Someone explain to me how a federal abortion ban could be in any way different from a federal cannabis ban? What's stopping states from saying "We're not enforcing that federal law"?
I'm so happy I switched to an instance that blocks grad, ml and hex, I can't imagine the shitshow it should be for those that still want to tolerate at least hex.
Im sure some of this is real. But i wonder how much of this is actually foreign state actors. We have a bunch of countries working overtime trying to destabilize the U.S. right now.
