Summary
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.
If the pastor farts, his congregation shits.
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
One of my friends had some rough experiences in some communities after it. I’d have to dig up the screenshots but it was atrocious. She’s not even American but she flat out said it made her want to take a break from online for a while.
I’ve never seen anything like it considering the game we play together tends to have a more progressive and welcoming community that lashes out against open misconduct like that.
And I hope you reported it
Yeah whole team did
Y’all can thank 53% of white women for that btw.
As a 50 year old white woman, I am just afraid that a man will beat me in high school track. That’s the real misogyny.
The only political ad I experienced this year was one saying the Democratic Senate candidate would let boys play in girl’s sports. It was horribly transphobic, even ending in a joke about genitalia, but I can’t help but think it had an effect on the outcome amongst all the women who aren’t smart enough to pair their phone to their car and think NPR uses big words.
Where did you hear about Lemmy, thats wild aha 😅.
white women really need to get their shit together. downright embarrassing
I’ve never been so proud to be part of the 47% of anything.
Said a different way:
“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?
Speaking as a Canadian where women have full bodily autonomy perhaps American women would like to vacation in Canada?
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.
And they probably can get away with it, because if they claim radical lefties are lying, he’ll pardon them
Expect a lot of criminals to get pardoned
A whole generation of the kid who stands behind the other kid and says, “YEAH!!!” after the fact and then shrinks away and cowers.
Is anyone surprised?
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 very much look forward to the increase in mortality rates among men. Married and otherwise.
Lots of Goodbye Earl energy flying around and I love it.
anybody ever notice how republicans talk about all the hope and positivity at trump rallies?
Curious right?
The answer is simple, it’s the only place they feel those two emotions, they literally do not experience it anywhere else, it’s a cult.
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”?
These people are so filled with fucking hate.
Like, seriously, no small wonder nobody actually wants to fuck you.
Yet conservative women always are so confused why their partners are such shitheads who don’t treat them respectfully.
why do people spend so much time being awful
I didn’t think there was a most pathetic way to out yourself as a rapist
