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.

Same here. My Mom refused to vote for Trump but was unhappy about her vote for Harris because

  • Harris slept her way to the top
  • is not black
  • was violently Antichristmas one year, then all festive the next.

I don’t know where to even begin, but fact checking one of her claims said that it was one persons Facebook post who never responded when asked for sources or evidence

Her father is black Jamaican. What did your mom mean by 'not black'? Was your mom being a racist because Kamala's mother is Indian?

"You can't be two minorities! That's not fair!" - Wine moms, probably

If you're mixed race, it's not unheard-of to be outcast from both groups... As fucked up as that is...

[–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

I've seen that sentiment and that she slept her way to the top. It's all just projection, racism and misogyny. Every trump vote was a vote for hate.

That was the craziest part. Supposedly there was a leaked report from 23andme showing she was genetically not black.

Supposedly there was a leaked report from 23andme showing she was genetically not black.

Whenever some stupid shit comes out of trump's mouth his minions go put out propaganda to make him be "right". They have bot armies to amplify their posts to spread themand make people believe it (plus his followers already want to believe it so their job is easy). Musk has made this very easy to do on Xitter.

So this is just another example. When he said she wasn't black and got made fun of, they rushed to put out propaganda on social media that there was a 23andme test showing she wasn't Black and "see? he was right!" and amplified it to spread it even more. They do that with everything, like after the debate they put out pictures of grills with meat cooking on them that they said were cats and everyone just believes it.

Circumstances like this make all too many of us shake our heads at the death of comedy, because “you can’t make that up. No one would believe it’s realistic”. But somehow it gets believed, and it spreads. Certainly part of it is new media with no standards or accountability, but people do need to have some sort of judgement.

If it’s too unrealistic to get laughs as a parody attempt, should I believe it actually happened?

She's a traitor too.
