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.

    The fact these losers (misogynists) don’t even have shame in what they’re saying and are not afraid of the repercussions, this could have on their personal/work lives, by saying all this fucked up shit, just makes it even awful tbh. There is really no justice.

    A campaign run by trolls wasn’t just gonna stop trolling once they win. Of course they were gonna double down with being awful people.

    It’s a darth vader cosplay fetish. They wanna be a cool bad guy.

    Except just the shitty parts, minus the cool costume, powers, or voice. Then they try to convince themselves it’s working with seven laughing-too-hard emojis.

    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.

        I’m on lemmy.cafe for now… so far so good, but I’m always up to jumping ship if I have to, I usually delete my content once per week so I have nothing to lose anyway (I’m still icky about Lemmy not permanently deleting someone’s content and just hidding it).

    I play counter strike with my partner. She usually gets plenty of hate, but the days after the election have been way worse.

    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.

    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.

      Given that the Onion’s prediction of a shrieking, white-hot sphere of pure rage following Obama’s election came true, you’re absolutely spot on. No matter who won, we’d still have lost.

      My wife and I agreed, after decades of being opposed to it, it’s time to get strapped. Tired of this shit.

          Dude, when I was a kid I moved from the midwest to the south.

          It was like going from a decent, but backwards place, to living under the fucking Taliban.

          I warned everyone to get out of the south while they could, but I know it’s not always possible, I just hope most made it.

          The South will NEVER forgive our unimaginable crime, we elected a BLACK MAN over them, that is an evil they can never get over, and they genuinely believe we did it just because we knew it was the thing they hated most.

            I watched a Jamie Oliver series some years ago (when Obama was president) and Jamie was out overnight with some cowboys and cooking over a fire. They were chatting about governments or something and one of the guys said something like ‘You Brits get a woman, and we get a n*****.’ Cue Jamie’s shocked face. Later on in his tent he was visibly upset. Think he regretted going on that trip.

              Am brown.

              The south was intolerable, it’s weird to see such naked racism in America.

              But it’s a fundamental part of their culture, it’s why Obama was clearly a Muslim, because Christian means white to them.

              I was born in New York, but the south was the only place where I wasn’t an American to anyone there.

              The problem is: most people never have to face the reality of the south, so it’s easy to pretend it’s just an exaggeration.

          I was thinking recently that, if we have to stay here in the US, I would prefer that we move to Minnesota or Michigan than stay here in Ohio, as it seemed they had their shit together more so than we do, but the latter is certainly in question now. Hell, after last November’s referendum on reproductive rights, I was at least a little encouraged, but any faith I gained in people since then has rapidly eroded.

            Well I at least don’t have anything categorically to worry about with the incoming fascism other than autism, but still Colorado has at least been a good place for me and everybody I know out here, which includes more or less the whole spectrum.

            If you’re within probably 1.5 hours of the Minneapolis/st. Paul you’re probably among sane folk, maybe within 30 of Duluth as well, but if you’re out in the boonies and such you might be finding people who, while polite, might be flying a trump flag and think “city/colored folk” are the problem.

    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 the 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?
