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.
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.
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.
Rapist apologia? I never thought I’d see the day.
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.

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.
Also, I’m afraid this is not just a “spike”, per se, but more like a prelude to much worse, including not just threats.
Your kids will be fine as long as they join the Trump youth
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.
Wow, the guy who bragged about how he sexually assaults anyone he finds attractive, talked about how he had the same “on the younger side” tastes as his best friend Jeff, talked about how he liked hosting beauty pageants because it gave him an excuse to walk in on girls while they were changing, etc emboldened other people to act the same way? Utter shock. This could never have been anticipated
Gilead is nigh.
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…
This is who we are. This shit was out in the open for all the degenerates to see and vote for.
What do you know. Turns out progress (in corporate hands) brings us back to the 18th century.
Good luck to all the women in gilead. May the lord open or whatever the fuck you say out there.
Under his eye?
Sure wish more women had voted against the enabler in chief
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.
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

We need the Hell’s Grannies to come back
Well what will happen is that those women will be put in prison and the poor innocent gangrapers will be set free because you can’t ruin someone’s life just because he raped something.
Well, as per the 2nd amendment, buy a gun, make sure they don’t live . If you’re going to jail anyway…
Dead men tell no tales as they say…
And if the rapist is dead… they can’t testify against you.
POC/ women / LGBTQ+ folk need to be arming taking classes and getting their carry permits regardless of the ability to carry with our a permit (if your state allows)
yeah you elect them president instead
I wanted the punk aesthetic to come to come back, but not like this.

I remember when imgur was such a great site that allowed deep linking. Now it’s total enshittified garbage!
In schools, boys have been caught using phrases like “your body, my choice” against female peers
Lol… this isn’t real.
No one is walking around, honestly saying that. It’s satire.
^
Yeah, it’s always a joke until it isn’t. In which case, they are serious as a heart attack about such things…
“it’s just a joke… Unless?”
Except for the part where it actually is.

Take a pick. Stop acting like a disingenuous dipshit.
I’ve lived with someone who came out as an unapologetic white Christian supremacist shortly before moving out. He definitely held these beliefs and cited “the old ways things were”.
Recall, some dispute marital rape as well.
Anybody who’s surprised should take a deep look in the mirror. You bitches elected a literal rapist into the white house. This is the “great” leader republicans rally behind!
Rapist, terrorist, moron. The trifecta. We’re literally living in the worst timeline :/.
This is all those bastards at CERN’s fault! Somehow the LHC pulled us into a shittier universe where Hitler 2.0 rises to power and there is a series of books called “The Barenstain Bears” instead of “The Bearenstein Bears.”
Before you criticise, you should have seen the alternative timelines! If we had switched on sooner, we might have been able to avoid this one, but we didn’t.
All I will say is imagine a Trump with a triple digit IQ and competent advisors. It was horrifying. Multiple techs took compassionate leave after seeing some of the projections. Poor mark still can’t make himself enter the building!
Harambe would still be alive. We never should have built that collider.
