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.

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 week ago

She's a traitor too.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago (5 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] 15 points 1 week 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.

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] 8 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week 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] 5 points 1 week ago (1 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.

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

Yeah I think about how to resolve the issue but for now I think a bit of silence and me planning to move to a blue state are going to drive home the point as well.

It's not my point to manipulate people into agreeing with my side but like they HAVE to at least contend with reality and get back to some form of adult discourse.

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

I hear ya. Cheers and best wishes!

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (2 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] 16 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

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

It's been increasing for a while now.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I'm just glad I'm not in the Midwest anymore, sure things are going wonderfully over there.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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.

Pretty sure they were used in self-defense in a more dangerous era. Might be an urban legend though, I never verified.

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?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week 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] 23 points 1 week 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The ingredients are
miso
pros
tol
and
ever
clear
but the proportions and source for the first ingredient are not specified

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, that's mainly what I was wondering about. I'll have to look into it via a search engine after work. Thanks for listing them!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Damn, i didnt realize the documentation wasnt there.

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

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.
