Summary

Following the recent presidential election, online misogynistic and abusive attacks targeting women have surged, with phrases like “Your body, my choice” and “Repeal the 19th” (constitutional amendment that allowed women to vote) going viral.

Far-right influencer and white nationalist Nick Fuentes contributed to this trend with a social media post celebrating Trump’s victory, which amassed over 90 million views.

Reports indicate the harassment has extended to classrooms and campuses.

Experts warn parents to discuss these harmful online trends with children as social media increasingly shapes young people’s perspectives.

    I’m expecting rape cases to escalate too. Man, so many insecure, sexually frustrated small-dick men out there flexing about this shit.

    I’m sure we can count on the social platforms being all over this with the moderating. /s

    I wonder how long we have to wait for some super toxic assbackwards “protect conservative free speech” bill to be pushed through to try and keep any future (the current ones outside of the fediverse I think are already not moderating this kind of thing) from being able to ban shitheads like Fuentes.

    Of course they have. The majority of voters have said this kind of behavior is fine.
