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.

    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.

    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.

    I play counter strike with my partner. She usually gets plenty of hate, but the days after the election have been way worse.

    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 them 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?

      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.

    Fits in nicely with the recent article about conservative men having trouble dating. Maybe don’t antagonize women?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Absolutely shocked and flabbergasted.
