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.

    Some other post had a comment (to paraphrase) for women the best choice to at least somewhat stay safer is: don’t have sex with men, don’t date men, don’t have babies with men, don’t get married. It was called the B4 movement.

    As a man who sees how bad it is going to be for women in the USA for 4 years or longer, I can’t disagree with the person. Though sexual assaults will go up as shitty rapists think they can’t get away with what their president got away with.

      And they probably can get away with it, because if they claim radical lefties are lying, he’ll pardon them

      Expect a lot of criminals to get pardoned

        I expect a lot of criminals won’t even be charged with the crimes they openly commit. They are the part of the in group to which laws will not apply.
