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 think that is the way we could get them. Just take their points and extrapolate to accelerate their narrative to a point they can’t control it any more.

The 2nd Ammendment remains a thing in MAGAstan America, and women retain the right to arm themselves for self-defense. Stand your ground is for women too.

Which is why I have zero qualms about teaching my daughter to stand up for herself in any and every way necessary to end a threat

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

Calm down, everyone. Remember, both sides are the same. Harris would have been absolutely no different.

In all seriousness, I expect a torrent of Tone Police popping up everywhere, telling everyone to Stop Being So Mean To Deplorables ™.

For the members of r/whoosh, I believe this is what’s known as sarcasm.

We weren’t trying to elect Bill Clinton

Clinton was a major campaigner and bundler for the Harris administration. And he’s just the most blindingly obvious example. David Shor, Harris’s campaign chairperson, is also a well known creep.

Thank goodness we didn’t elect Bill Clinton this year. That would have been a disaster.

The proper response to “your body, my choice” is “your nuts, my knee.”

We’re talking kids threatening other kids here. Lorena Bobbitt will mean nothing to them. A knee to the nuts, on the other hand…

The correct response is “If I’m going to jail because abortion is murder, I may as well kill my rapist”

Yes, but that’s far less pithy.

Also ignores the power dynamic at play. The boy while complain to his Trump-loving teacher and the teacher will call the principal and the principal will call the police and the police will come and arrest the child and then take her to jail where other cops will rape her.

And if you talk about the epidemic of child abuse in police custody or the long history of sexual violence by cops, you’re hurting the Democrats in the next election.
