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.

    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

    Fuck my own mom said Kamala slept her way to the top today. We’re done for awhile.

    I don’t even know yet how to parse the sheer lack of moral focus from the woman that raised me. Like it really fucks me up.

      Same here. My Mom refused to vote for Trump but was unhappy about her vote for Harris because

      • Harris slept her way to the top
      • is not black
      • was violently Antichristmas one year, then all festive the next.

      I don’t know where to even begin, but fact checking one of her claims said that it was one persons Facebook post who never responded when asked for sources or evidence

      That sucks. If you want an adoptive mom, I have lots of kids, what’s one more?

      Also this 53% number is fucking with me. I know so many white women and only one (70 years old) would vote for trump.

        Appreciate it I’ll be good. Things will settle.

        I just hope she can reflect on what I said and why it bothers me.

        I think I’ll pass time by looking into helping others too though. Definitely be a better outlet for me than trying to waste time convincing Trump supporters of anything.

          Not disagreeing and I like that approach. I do want to say, though, that I’ve committed myself to keeping track of some of the egregious stuff that’s going to come and addressing it with the people in my life who voted for Trump and did not properly know / accept what that entailed.

          To bring them back, I think we have to find (effective) ways to show them bad things they did not want to happen, that they helped enable, as they occur. It’s tough because I don’t want to turn every interaction into political badgering (and I won’t), but there’s no chance I can stay quiet as the great shitshow unfolds, either.

            Yeah I think about how to resolve the issue but for now I think a bit of silence and me planning to move to a blue state are going to drive home the point as well.

            It’s not my point to manipulate people into agreeing with my side but like they HAVE to at least contend with reality and get back to some form of adult discourse.

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.
