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.

    Im sure some of this is real. But i wonder how much of this is actually foreign state actors. We have a bunch of countries working overtime trying to destabilize the U.S. right now.

      Makes no difference to the women being targeted, and is still the direct result of a Trump win. Give the real magas 30 more seconds to realize they’ve just witnessed the birth of Let’s Go Brandon 2.0 and they’ll dwarf the number of state actors anyhow.

        Points from Foundations for Geopolitics (basically the current russian playbook)

        In the Americas, United States, and Canada:

        Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists" to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present-day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".[9]
        The Eurasian Project could be expanded to Central and South America.[9]

      At least 90% is my guess. MANY foreign countries are trying very hard to ensure we tear ourselves apart from the inside

      I’m definitely still somewhat in denial, starting from about 2015. Most of this can’t be real, right? My fellow Americans can’t really want this, can they? I understand Trump likes attention and running a sweet scam, but he can’t actually want to be president, right?

        I dont think he wanted to be president again. I thought he wanted to avoid a prison sentence honestly.

      This and the “lefties” increasingly calling for another insurrection. Definitely a lot of foreign state actor influencing the emotion right now.

        I haven’t heard any left leaning people in real life calling for violence.
