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.
Yeah, same, I’ve been largely numb and cold, more angry than scared or wanting to cry, but it wouldn’t be immediately apparent when you talk to me in person (not that I let anyone get close enough to do that these days). Part of it is that we’ve been through it before—last time, he was still an unknown quantity, a question mark. However, we have more than an inkling as to what sort of inhuman shit to expect this time around, so we best spend some time getting prepared.
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?
And I don’t have any drugs either.
A few of the guys (Americans) I game with called it “A good result.” All I could respond with was a heavy sigh.
At least they haven’t been spouting the usual mysogynistic BS in my presence, unlike my last group. They were outright partying, and they aren’t even American!
