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.

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

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] 1 points 1 hour ago

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

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.

"You can't be two minorities! That's not fair!" - Wine moms, probably

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

She's a traitor too.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

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] 2 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours 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] 4 points 6 hours 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] 2 points 6 hours 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.

I hear ya. Cheers and best wishes!
