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.
Woah, so let’s just assume what she said is true. So in your mom’s world the only way for a women to get to that level is to sleep her way to the top. That is pretty fucked up.
What is even more fucked up is living in that world she blames the women for it!? I can’t even.
Even a precursory look at her record would show that is not even remotely true, but I digress. After all, we have a first lady (of the night) right now that actually did sleep her way to the top.
So I guess she has some reason to believe it happens. I just don’t understand the hate. It is okay for this women to do it but not her, even if that is not what she did.
Perhaps the root of it is your mother is just racist. I think this really hits home for me as well. Growing up I believed my mother loved everyone being a self-proclaimed Jesus freak. Now that she is older she suddenly hates gays and loves Trump. It is hard to reconcile.
My dad went on a rant how Puerto Ricans are all lazy and just grift off the system to live off benefits. His only grandkids are born to a Puerto Rican, who passed the bar becoming a lawyer. (Prior to having kids with my only sibling)
Throw in that “no black people can raise kids”, and it was enough for me to cut contact.
Won’t let Puerto Rico become a state to advocate for their economic rights. Complains they don’t do enough for themselves. We did the exact same thing to the Native Americans. It reeks of a slow burn genocide to be honest.
I believe Puerto Rico chose to not become a state most of the last 20 years. 2012 was the last real vote I remember. 55% or such wanted to become a state. But it was a small part of the population. 5% voted for independence. They are the world’s oldest colony if I remember (Guam same time). End of the Spanish Civil War in 1898.
We joined WW2 because a territory like Puerto Rico was attacked. I’m not sure why people liked Hawaii so much more other than propaganda tied to it having a good military base location. Also, not saying people shouldn’t have liked Hawaiins, just that clearly our view of the two territories is drastically different. I could almost guarantee the support percentage drops even more if it came to defending the people in Guam. Most people don’t even remember they are a territory, more remember part of Semoa than Guam around me
Yes she also uses the “she turned black” line as is if that shields Trump from his overt racism from that debacle. As if just accepting everything he says is fine means it’s fine…
In real life she never acted like that. The more I think about it the more weirded out I get. I guess I didn’t see it through my own numbness being it’s just more common here.
