Summary

Following Trump’s election victory, social media saw a surge in misogynistic rhetoric, with phrases like “Your body, my choice” — promoted by figures like white supremacist Nick Fuentes — trending widely.

The Institute for Strategic Dialogue reported a 4,600% spike in misogynistic language on social media and noted that harassment has spilled into schools.

Trump’s win, amplified by Elon Musk’s support, has emboldened “manosphere” influencers, aligning Trump with anti-feminist figures.

This rise in misogyny comes amid other social shifts, such as the election of two Black female senators, a first in U.S. history.

    The fact that they are complete morons doesn’t mean they want to be treated this way. It is a case for the leopards, but saying this is not helpful to the potential victims from both camps.

    Please, keep your empathy for women in general, they’re going to need it now more than ever.

      If they didn’t want to be treated this way by people who loudly stated that they were going to treat them that way then they shouldn’t have elected people who loudly and unabashedly told them that they were going to codify treating them that way.

      I’ve got empathy in spades for women of color, they were allies, white women though, very little sympathy and should be called out for betraying other women and the rest of us.
