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.

    As a 50 year old white woman, I am just afraid that a man will beat me in high school track. That’s the real misogyny.

      The only political ad I experienced this year was one saying the Democratic Senate candidate would let boys play in girl’s sports. It was horribly transphobic, even ending in a joke about genitalia, but I can’t help but think it had an effect on the outcome amongst all the women who aren’t smart enough to pair their phone to their car and think NPR uses big words.
