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.
i really love seeing this narrative again. i watched it last time he was elected, now i’m watching it again. it’s the left’s own brand of mysogyny, and it’s not making women any safer.
An alarming number of women voted for Trump.
That is a kind of misogyny, but stating that fact isn’t.
and i will see it repeated endlessly online over the next several years, paired with a lot of “serves them right” style comments.
it doesn’t help women or anyone else.
this is not the way forward.
If you have a good plan to deprogram Republicans, I’d love to hear it.
