Summary
Donald Trump’s re-election has fueled a surge in misogynistic, homophobic, and racist rhetoric among young men, reportedly emboldened by the president-elect’s history of inflammatory remarks about women.
In schools, boys have been caught using phrases like “your body, my choice” against female peers, prompting districts like Minnesota’s Hopkins Public Schools to issue warnings to parents about harassment.
The impact extends beyond schools, with activists on Texas State University’s campus displaying signs asserting that “women are property.”
This hostile climate has left many women feeling unsafe as a new far-right administration takes power.
Sounds a lot like “we wish all the men just disappeared”, “I would rather be with a bear”, and “they are useless anyway and we dont need them for anything”. I just can’t figure out why men didn’t vote for more of that?
Equalization often feels like oppression to the dominant group that’s been favored and catered to in society’s history. Like Christians being upset over secular public institutions, or some white Americans thinking they were the victims when Jim Crow laws were overturned.
From a fellow dude…let it go.
I’m a man, and I voted against the fascists.
Because I’m not a fragile moron who thinks Daddy Trump will make women be nice to me.
Yeah, the “I do not want to vote for the lesser evil” crowd was literally saying the misogyny out loud for all to see.
Isn’t this kind of shit that you guys have the 2nd amendment for?
women shouldn’t need to kill people in order to live in the US. And their assailants almost certainly also have access to firearms because, the US (either legally or in violation of red flags etc).
people shouldn’t need to kill just to go about their fucking lives.
people shouldn’t need to kill just to go about their fucking lives.
This has been a sad necessity for most of our species’ existence. Recent history is the most “civilized” we’ve ever been.
Eventually I will be divorced but I can’t exactly cash out my half of the equity in the home without making her homeless. If she’s still my property anyone I’ll take $80k, no warranty, sales final. Comes with free baggage and would make a great drill instructor. Low mileage, but unreliable and untrustworthy. Pretty to look at though.

While I understand the implications, the headline is still pretty misleading. The article mentions no threat of rape. Of course, “your body, my choice” could be taken that way, but I read it as them lording their control over women’s bodies, not as a direct that of rape. Overall though, this is still bad. Like third act of a film with no happy ending in sight bad.
Doing something to someone’s body, neglecting their will is the definition of rape. Well as long as it’s sexual, which in this case it is. But if we want to take implications a bit further, since abortion is illegal now in some states, it could also be seen as a death threat depending on where you are.
