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 fear that online misogyny was going to go up in general. Hell, would probably be worse with a Harris victory given how well those fucks would handle a woman president.

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.

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"?

Speaking as a Canadian where women have full bodily autonomy perhaps American women would like to vacation in Canada?

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.

Im sure some of this is real. But i wonder how much of this is actually foreign state actors. We have a bunch of countries working overtime trying to destabilize the U.S. right now.

I think we should absolutely consider foreign actors as the likely seed for some of these flashy, rage-bait stories. Russia's primary goal since 2015 has been to keep us from trusting one another, and I expect them to ramp up messaging to leftist groups over the next few months. We're uncertain, isolated, and afraid, and that makes us likely targets for cultural wedge disinformation.

At least 90% is my guess. MANY foreign countries are trying very hard to ensure we tear ourselves apart from the inside

A whole generation of the kid who stands behind the other kid and says, "YEAH!!!" after the fact and then shrinks away and cowers.

I wrote a haiku on another similar article and I'm proud of it. I don't have a title yet. I'm not usually poetic. Here goes:

  • Your body, my choice
  • Women are my property
  • Soylent green is peep...

Is anyone surprised?
