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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

And I hope you reported it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah whole team did

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.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 7 hours 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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 hours 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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

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

She's a traitor too.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

That sucks. If you want an adoptive mom, I have lots of kids, what's one more?

Also this 53% number is fucking with me. I know so many white women and only one (70 years old) would vote for trump.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Every white woman in-law I have voted for him. I hate them all.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Appreciate it I'll be good. Things will settle.

I just hope she can reflect on what I said and why it bothers me.

I think I'll pass time by looking into helping others too though. Definitely be a better outlet for me than trying to waste time convincing Trump supporters of anything.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Not disagreeing and I like that approach. I do want to say, though, that I've committed myself to keeping track of some of the egregious stuff that's going to come and addressing it with the people in my life who voted for Trump and did not properly know / accept what that entailed.

To bring them back, I think we have to find (effective) ways to show them bad things they did not want to happen, that they helped enable, as they occur. It's tough because I don't want to turn every interaction into political badgering (and I won't), but there's no chance I can stay quiet as the great shitshow unfolds, either.

Is anyone surprised?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

As a 50 year old white woman, I am just afraid that a man will beat me in high school track. That's the real misogyny.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago

The only political ad I experienced this year was one saying the Democratic Senate candidate would let boys play in girl's sports. It was horribly transphobic, even ending in a joke about genitalia, but I can't help but think it had an effect on the outcome amongst all the women who aren't smart enough to pair their phone to their car and think NPR uses big words.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

white women really need to get their shit together. downright embarrassing

[–] [email protected] 26 points 8 hours ago

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?

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 hours ago

Sounds like somebody hasn't heard of flirting technique "neggingmaxxing". /s

I completely just made that up

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.

Getting an abortion up to 13 weeks is totally possible using the following method.

Looks like that documentation no longer is hosted. Those videos were inspiring, though.

Damn, i didnt realize the documentation wasnt there.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 54 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

The alternative was apparently not inspiring enough to vote for (/s). You know, someone who isn't that.

(I voted gladly for Harris)

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, because Americans are idiots who think that they have to vote for someone they like rather than STOP A FASCIST DICTATOR.

Jesus Christ.

Enjoy never having your vote count again.

People at my spouse’s workplace were high-fiving each other on Wednesday. This country is just a goddamn middle school.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I've wanted to cry since Wednesday morning but it's just not coming out. I'm just too numb. If I was around people like that though, I might have been able to find somewhere to go cry.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Yeah, same, I’ve been largely numb and cold, more angry than scared or wanting to cry, but it wouldn’t be immediately apparent when you talk to me in person (not that I let anyone get close enough to do that these days). Part of it is that we’ve been through it before—last time, he was still an unknown quantity, a question mark. However, we have more than an inkling as to what sort of inhuman shit to expect this time around, so we best spend some time getting prepared.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

you should go cry it out squid. grab your friends and partake in your favorite drug you really do need an emotional release.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

What friends?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 11 hours ago

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
