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.
The proper response to “your body, my choice” is “your nuts, my knee.”
just tell them to remember Lorena
We’re talking kids threatening other kids here. Lorena Bobbitt will mean nothing to them. A knee to the nuts, on the other hand…
well it might give them something to ask about from their parents and spread it around in so doing. but yeah a knee is a good idea in the moment
When dealing with an active threat, a response that the assailant can ignore afterwards is a useless response.
I’m teaching my daughter the same lesson I was taught. You never start a fight but you sure do end it.
The correct response is “If I’m going to jail because abortion is murder, I may as well kill my rapist”
Yes, but that’s far less pithy.
Also ignores the power dynamic at play. The boy while complain to his Trump-loving teacher and the teacher will call the principal and the principal will call the police and the police will come and arrest the child and then take her to jail where other cops will rape her.
And if you talk about the epidemic of child abuse in police custody or the long history of sexual violence by cops, you’re hurting the Democrats in the next election.
Expect women to start cutting dicks off.
You can “own” a woman, and you can own a knife. But you cannot own a knife and a woman.
hope they do at this point, fuckers deserve it
Lorena Bobbitt, the renewed American hero for every young woman.
I saw a post from Nick Fuentes about it. Things will get out of hand.
This is who we are. This shit was out in the open for all the degenerates to see and vote for.
Tbh, this is all a fucking distraction from the class war that the oligarchs are winning without competition. And what a distraction it is! The cure to all these ills is higher taxes on the wealthy, but I don’t think any of those reforms are going to be remotely possible now lol
Great, now I’m going to have to start punching school-children.
Calm down, everyone. Remember, both sides are the same. Harris would have been absolutely no different.
In all seriousness, I expect a torrent of Tone Police popping up everywhere, telling everyone to Stop Being So Mean To Deplorables ™.
Remember, both sides are the same.
Thumbing a picture of Jeffrey Epstein besides Bill Clinton and Donald Trump
Ok and? We weren’t trying to elect Bill Clinton you fucking mouth breathing cretin.
We weren’t trying to elect Bill Clinton
Clinton was a major campaigner and bundler for the Harris administration. And he’s just the most blindingly obvious example. David Shor, Harris’s campaign chairperson, is also a well known creep.
What does this have to do with ANYTHING. It shows brain damage. You should get your brain checked.
Thank goodness we didn’t elect Bill Clinton this year. That would have been a disaster.
Still younger than Trump
For the members of r/whoosh, I believe this is what’s known as sarcasm.
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.
Um, but even if that were true, how is donnie going to change the minds of millions of women? I swear, some people seem to think he has a magic wand or something. Like he’s going to somehow set up every incel with a bombshell that’s so very into him…
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.
^ So much this. I wish I could upvote more than once. :)

Lol. It still doesn’t change the reality of the election. Large groups of the electorate voted against your party when you offered no incentive to inspire their vote. Instead of admitting that reality you call them names or insult their intelligence.
Yes, it’s the victims of harassment who are really at fault here.
Fuck off.
Rapist apologia? I never thought I’d see the day.
Did the aids from your username get into your writing nerves?

Expect this to escalate to really bad levels. Not just by women getting raped, but those awful men getting “what they deserve”, which will lead to further escalations. All because of they wanted what those stupid Coca-Cola and gas stove ads depicted.
Get off of social media. I may even destroy this account. Fuck the Internet.
More harassment and attacks => more spending on health and mental care => economic stimulus
The system works! /s
The only flaw is that you are assuming they would increase spending
Thats socialism
No, regular people would be spending more money on health care.
Unrelated, but there was another article that showed up when i scrolled down about the Dems holding the PA House that was really interesting:
"Burns, a conservative anti-abortion Democrat, has drawn the ire of the Pennsylvania GOP for some time now, as his seat was viewed as a vulnerable blue dot in a sea of red. But he was able to maintain his seat thanks to an influx of cash ($3.4 million from the Pennsylvania House Democratic Campaign Committee) and a potent advertising blitz to keep Democrats in control of the state House.
One ad the Burns campaign ran capitalized on his conservative views, stoking anti-immigration based fear and casting Bradley as against Trump’s draconian immigration plans. “President Trump supports secure borders and putting America first. But Amy Bradley doesn’t,” the ad stated menacingly. It was a successful tactic for Burns in his otherwise deep red district."
That’s a sign to me that people aren’t as huge a fan of MAGA as one would believe and the voting base is more fluid. Not saying Dems should shift to anti-immigration / anti-abortion, but locally they should be more strategic about how they play these things. We don’t have to agree with everything a down-ticket Democrat does… if they need to adjust their positions based on local sentiment we should be open to that as long as nationally we know where we stand.
That’s what MAGA did with abortion…nationally oppose it, but claim to “give the choice to the states” to placate local fears. Localized and targeted messaging. If they don’t want student loan forgiveness, don’t run a single ad about student loan forgiveness in that state/county. If they mainly about immigration, make every ad about what the immigration bill would’ve done, that Trump/MAGA blocked it, that “BLOOD IS ON THEIR HANDS” as MAGA would put it.
Don’t give up our overall ideals but start to better recognize that everyone has different priorities and we need to build a popular movement that connects with everyone.
Every and any avenue should be explored.
Very much this. Democrats largely saw big wins for state-wide elections in my state (North Carolina). Yet, Trump took the electors, implying that there were people who voted for Democrats locally but not for Kamala. I know people on this site like to say that MAGA is what America wanted, but I think the support is tentative at best. If a good choice from Democrats emerges, they can definitely sweep.
Maga is not sending their best. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.
You and MAGA have very different definitions of best, crime, and rape.
They’re absolutely sending their best.
The problem is what they’re best at is being Maga assholes.
I think op’'s comment was a dig at Trump’s anti-immigration stance. He often said the same thing except substitute the word immigrants.
Whats even more worrying… that doesnt come just from somewhere. This kind of thoughts existed before.
I am really worried. This is taking an ugly turn quite fast. I’m so sorry…
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.
