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.

    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.

      Woah, so let’s just assume what she said is true. So in your mom’s world the only way for a women to get to that level is to sleep her way to the top. That is pretty fucked up.

      What is even more fucked up is living in that world she blames the women for it!? I can’t even.

      Even a precursory look at her record would show that is not even remotely true, but I digress. After all, we have a first lady (of the night) right now that actually did sleep her way to the top.

      So I guess she has some reason to believe it happens. I just don’t understand the hate. It is okay for this women to do it but not her, even if that is not what she did.

      Perhaps the root of it is your mother is just racist. I think this really hits home for me as well. Growing up I believed my mother loved everyone being a self-proclaimed Jesus freak. Now that she is older she suddenly hates gays and loves Trump. It is hard to reconcile.

        My dad went on a rant how Puerto Ricans are all lazy and just grift off the system to live off benefits. His only grandkids are born to a Puerto Rican, who passed the bar becoming a lawyer. (Prior to having kids with my only sibling)

        Throw in that “no black people can raise kids”, and it was enough for me to cut contact.

          Won’t let Puerto Rico become a state to advocate for their economic rights. Complains they don’t do enough for themselves. We did the exact same thing to the Native Americans. It reeks of a slow burn genocide to be honest.

        Yes she also uses the “she turned black” line as is if that shields Trump from his overt racism from that debacle. As if just accepting everything he says is fine means it’s fine…

        In real life she never acted like that. The more I think about it the more weirded out I get. I guess I didn’t see it through my own numbness being it’s just more common here.

      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

          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.

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

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

            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.

              Circumstances like this make all too many of us shake our heads at the death of comedy, because “you can’t make that up. No one would believe it’s realistic”. But somehow it gets believed, and it spreads. Certainly part of it is new media with no standards or accountability, but people do need to have some sort of judgement.

              If it’s too unrealistic to get laughs as a parody attempt, should I believe it actually happened?

      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.

        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.
