Summary
Donald Trump’s re-election has fueled a surge in misogynistic, homophobic, and racist rhetoric among young men, reportedly emboldened by the president-elect’s history of inflammatory remarks about women.
In schools, boys have been caught using phrases like “your body, my choice” against female peers, prompting districts like Minnesota’s Hopkins Public Schools to issue warnings to parents about harassment.
The impact extends beyond schools, with activists on Texas State University’s campus displaying signs asserting that “women are property.”
This hostile climate has left many women feeling unsafe as a new far-right administration takes power.
women shouldn’t need to kill people in order to live in the US. And their assailants almost certainly also have access to firearms because, the US (either legally or in violation of red flags etc).
people shouldn’t need to kill just to go about their fucking lives.
Shouldn’t? Shouldn’t.
Does, tho.
This has been a sad necessity for most of our species’ existence. Recent history is the most “civilized” we’ve ever been.
Ideally we move forward not backwards :(
If such a metric (being “civilized”) could be graphed, I’d imagine it would be an oscillating sin wave on a slight upward trajectory.
