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 watched a Jamie Oliver series some years ago (when Obama was president) and Jamie was out overnight with some cowboys and cooking over a fire. They were chatting about governments or something and one of the guys said something like ‘You Brits get a woman, and we get a n*****.’ Cue Jamie’s shocked face. Later on in his tent he was visibly upset. Think he regretted going on that trip.

      Am brown.

      The south was intolerable, it’s weird to see such naked racism in America.

      But it’s a fundamental part of their culture, it’s why Obama was clearly a Muslim, because Christian means white to them.

      I was born in New York, but the south was the only place where I wasn’t an American to anyone there.

      The problem is: most people never have to face the reality of the south, so it’s easy to pretend it’s just an exaggeration.
