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

[–] Joeffect@lemmy.world 27 points 6 days ago (1 children)

And I hope you reported it

[–] zaph@sh.itjust.works 18 points 6 days ago

Is anyone surprised?

Fits in nicely with the recent article about conservative men having trouble dating. Maybe don't antagonize women?

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.

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.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Her father is black Jamaican. What did your mom mean by 'not black'? Was your mom being a racist because Kamala's mother is Indian?

"You can't be two minorities! That's not fair!" - Wine moms, probably

[–] Joeffect@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago

If you're mixed race, it's not unheard-of to be outcast from both groups... As fucked up as that is...

[–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

I've seen that sentiment and that she slept her way to the top. It's all just projection, racism and misogyny. Every trump vote was a vote for hate.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That was the craziest part. Supposedly there was a leaked report from 23andme showing she was genetically not black.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Supposedly there was a leaked report from 23andme showing she was genetically not black.

Whenever some stupid shit comes out of trump's mouth his minions go put out propaganda to make him be "right". They have bot armies to amplify their posts to spread themand make people believe it (plus his followers already want to believe it so their job is easy). Musk has made this very easy to do on Xitter.

So this is just another example. When he said she wasn't black and got made fun of, they rushed to put out propaganda on social media that there was a 23andme test showing she wasn't Black and "see? he was right!" and amplified it to spread it even more. They do that with everything, like after the debate they put out pictures of grills with meat cooking on them that they said were cats and everyone just believes it.

America elected an Incel-in-Chief, so that's not really surprising.

why do people spend so much time being awful

I didn't think there was a most pathetic way to out yourself as a rapist

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Y'all can thank 53% of white women for that btw.

[–] Fuzzy_Red_Panda@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago

I've never been so proud to be part of the 47% of anything.

[–] AllHailTheSheep@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For a lot of trump supporters, this is why they voted for him. He gave them a licence to be racist and sexist and bigoted, etc.

Al the things trump is, they are. And him being in office legitemises them. It makes them feel "heard" instead of "opressesed."

Granted (of course) hate speech and any form of misogyny or predjudice (all of the above) should be illegal. It should be "oppressed." But from their perspective, they aren't allowed to be what they are, and trump makes them feel like they can.

Its a devastating realisation that i came to whilst watching those trump rally videos where the comedians go and interview the attendees with the aim being ro let them mock themselves by being caught out in a web of contradiction.

When the interviewers say biden did x y z terrible things and the trump simps say "yeah because biden is terrible and an awful person and should be in jail" but then they pull the rug and say, "sorry, i read the wrong but, that was trump who did those things"

When faced with the fact that trump is the one who did all the awful things they suddely switch over like they are bipolar and say, oh well trump is perfect so i dont care that he did those things. Or trump had a reason that made it ok. Or oh, i did t know he did that, but im still gonna vote for him.

Said a different way:

"In Trump's America, rapists get to choose their baby's mama"

If that's horrific to you too, sorry. See you at the support meeting later where we will be taking money to help people and companies relo to CO or NY where rights are temporarily enshrined regionally where even reinstating "Chevron" should preserve them for a while.

If people who've terminated a pregnancy in NYC go to FL, or even get on a long domestic flight, are they at risk of arrest when they enter or pass through the confederate states?

Hat pins about to come back into fashion.
