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.
America elected an Incel-in-Chief, so that’s not really surprising.
The alternative was apparently not inspiring enough to vote for (/s). You know, someone who isn’t that.
(I voted gladly for Harris)
Yes, because Americans are idiots who think that they have to vote for someone they like rather than STOP A FASCIST DICTATOR.
Jesus Christ.
Enjoy never having your vote count again.
People at my spouse’s workplace were high-fiving each other on Wednesday. This country is just a goddamn middle school.
I’ve wanted to cry since Wednesday morning but it’s just not coming out. I’m just too numb. If I was around people like that though, I might have been able to find somewhere to go cry.
FS, I’m so sorry, I’m not trying to be an absolute dick here though it will sound like it.
I saw this coming miles away, hence sending my family to Europe.
I desperately hoped I was wrong (and Kamala taking over made me dare to dream), but I knew the worst bits of my country too well.
I really fucking wish I had a better plan right now, this is like the end scene of Empire, but with so much less hope. :(
Am I crazy, or did we feel less helpless the first time around?
No, you don’t sound like a dick at all. We’re emigrating before the end of January.
you should go cry it out squid. grab your friends and partake in your favorite drug you really do need an emotional release.
What friends?
