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.

    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.

      Makes no difference to the women being targeted, and is still the direct result of a Trump win. Give the real magas 30 more seconds to realize they’ve just witnessed the birth of Let’s Go Brandon 2.0 and they’ll dwarf the number of state actors anyhow.

      I’m definitely still somewhat in denial, starting from about 2015. Most of this can’t be real, right? My fellow Americans can’t really want this, can they? I understand Trump likes attention and running a sweet scam, but he can’t actually want to be president, right?
