‘Your body, my choice’: Women report rise in online misogyny following Trump victory
‘Your body, my choice’: Women report rise in online misogyny following Trump victory
‘The masks are fully off now,’ one person claimed
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.

I'm so happy I switched to an instance that blocks grad, ml and hex, I can't imagine the shitshow it should be for those that still want to tolerate at least hex.
Out of interest, which instance please?
I'm on lemmy.cafe for now... so far so good, but I'm always up to jumping ship if I have to, I usually delete my content once per week so I have nothing to lose anyway (I'm still icky about Lemmy not permanently deleting someone's content and just hidding it).
Excellent. I'll keep it in mind.
Stay safe 😺
