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.
The proper response to “your body, my choice” is “your nuts, my knee.”
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.
just tell them to remember Lorena
We’re talking kids threatening other kids here. Lorena Bobbitt will mean nothing to them. A knee to the nuts, on the other hand…
well it might give them something to ask about from their parents and spread it around in so doing. but yeah a knee is a good idea in the moment
Calm down, everyone. Remember, both sides are the same. Harris would have been absolutely no different.
For the members of r/whoosh, I believe this is what’s known as sarcasm.
Remember, both sides are the same.
Thumbing a picture of Jeffrey Epstein besides Bill Clinton and Donald Trump
Ok and? We weren’t trying to elect Bill Clinton you fucking mouth breathing cretin.
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.
What does this have to do with ANYTHING. It shows brain damage. You should get your brain checked.
20% of Americans voted for him because he told them it’s ok to be a rapist.
Chat, are we fucked?
At least all these undatable men are outing themselves so publicly.
Start making a list ladies!
Probably going to make 4B more of a thing.
Also: Nick Fuentes has been out as very undatable for a long time.
His in group loves to frequent strip clubs and prostitutes. One of his more high profile stunts was to pay for Brandi Love to attend a GOP convention.
He’s not in it for dating. He sees women like fast cars or fancy gadgets or big houses - just another commodity to demonstrate your status.
I’m thinking he’s someone that had his lunch money taken every day at school, had zero luck with women (or lusted after men but grew up with a warped belief system about sexuality and lives in the closet) and now just wants to make sure no one else is happy, either.
I’ve been very frustrated that these guys bad behavior is being generalized to all guys. I’m viewed with suspicion despite taking active steps to make things better for the women in my life. I’m not perfect, and I have my moments, but I’m not the undatable Republican dude we’re talking about here.
This isn’t the women’s fault, but I wish I could give some of these asshole misogynists a kick in the face for fucking it up for the rest of us. Having said that, I will be ban happy as a motherfucker the next time I run public events (used to teach classes, think dance, yoga, etc.)
Isn’t this kind of shit that you guys have the 2nd amendment for?
women shouldn’t need to kill people in order to live in the US. And their assailants almost certainly also have access to firearms because, the US (either legally or in violation of red flags etc).
people shouldn’t need to kill just to go about their fucking lives.
Shouldn’t? Shouldn’t.
Does, tho.
people shouldn’t need to kill just to go about their fucking lives.
This has been a sad necessity for most of our species’ existence. Recent history is the most “civilized” we’ve ever been.
Ideally we move forward not backwards :(
If such a metric (being “civilized”) could be graphed, I’d imagine it would be an oscillating sin wave on a slight upward trajectory.
how?
Pew Pew boom boom.
I meant how does the 2nd amendment apply to someone calling you names?
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
How sad due to the internet, this is spilled over to the younger generation.
statistically younger generations tend to skew more liberal. Now we know why Musk bought Twitter propaganda.
I will tell you that middle schoolers these days just say the dumbest shit. Like lines they’ve heard others say but have no idea what it means.
And they argue over the dumbest shit too. Anyways this is just me saying this story fits well with my current understanding of young kids in school. I think its only news because it related to trump and the election, and thats worth money nowadays.
Remember, the news stories we are served are chosen by profitability rather than social impact.
As someone who grew up pre-Internet, I will say that the Internet was not required for middle schoolers to say dumb shit. In fact, as I saw the “information superhighway” blooming, my hope was that the dumb shit would be squelched a bit by people being able to look up and fact-check all the really stupid stuff I’d hear.
That didn’t pan out, and in fact, I wonder if Gen Z will be one of the very most reactionary “generation” to come down the pike. Boomers got a lot of shit despite a lot of them pushing leftward very hard when they were young, and now I’m hearing lots of dumb things about Gen X and Gen Y (and people in the Gen X age bracket falling for “but mah expensive bacon” I kind of get - both age groups are perhaps in the place where they are caring for older parents AND younger), but Gen Z?
WTAF. I mean they are very, very young, and they broke right? When donnie was the option? I seriously do think the Youtube/Tiktok effect is being seen here…
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?
LPT: I’m not opening this shit. I’m holding my family close. I’m gonna work my job. I’m gonna exercise and get sleep. I’m gonna stay healthy. I’m gonna vote in 4 years for a better president.
But I’m not going to turn my guts into knots over shit I cannot change. I’m not going to let the noise bury me.
Voting won’t save us. Not trying to throw a wrench in your plans to stay healthy and happy. But true mutual aid is what is most necessary now. Voting is what got us into this mess. Incrementalist politics will not save the climate, will not save us from fascism.
It’s the hard truth that the ownership class has brought to our lives. It’s the logical outcome of capitalism. This is sort of the endgame. We fight now. Relying on voting alone only enables more of the same. We’ve been trying to vote as long as the system has been around. And it’s led us here.
Voting is most likely still part of they way forward. Most of your comment is true, but as long as we have a democracy we have to vote.
Not voting is what got us into this. Harris turnout was lower than Biden’s. Trump turnout was about the same as last time. Don’t ever tell people not to vote. It’s too easy to for us not to take advantage of it.
This is sort of the endgame. We fight now.
What’s your plan to overthrow the government, in practical terms? How many casualties are acceptable? Do you even have a plan? Or are you just trying to vent?
It’s not about overthrowing the government. Local action to protect vulnerable peoples, mutual aid. The US Govt can’t be “overthrown.” But local enacting of harmful policies can be stopped.
That’s kinda the problem with the US. People can’t just all travel to the centrally located capital. Look at how the republicans have continually tried to “send it back to the states” where they can wash their hands of, say, outlawing abortion. Focus on your area, find mutual aid groups to support those being harmed by these laws. That is how you can effectively fight creeping fascism. They can put down one centrally located demonstration no problem. But they would have a much harder time fighting every town. (Psst This is also good advice in your own town. Spread out, and be more effective. Move around, don’t stay all together. Not when you’re acting, and not when you’re fleeing)

Depends, are you a cop?
No; definitely wary of those who advocate for armed insurgency against governments without a plan, exit strategy, and explicitly outlined intent for governance if successful.
Sorry but that’s bullshit and is harmful.
Voting is quintessential to getting us out of this mess and trying to downplay the power of voting is only beneficial to those currently in power.
There are many actions to take beyond voting, but there is one very specific reason trump is president right now: his people voted.
Fascism is taking over and people are saying that they are planning to do nothing and let evil triumph. If you intend to sit on your ass for the next 4 years, you’re in the way of progress.
Its the will of the people my friend. Americ a isnt the good boy you think it to be.
Next election is in two years. Don’t forget midterms. Make sure you’re informed about local elections too. They can make more of a difference to you, and they also get people into positions they can move upward from.
Great reminder. Always tracking state and local.
I just can’t allow myself to fall into paralysis over “who” our country actually is. THIS. This is who our country actually is.
Be sure not to forget to vote in two years for House and senate.
And every single local and state level election.
That is assuming he doesn’t declare himself king, and there is still a vote.
There is NOTHING he can break the we cannot fix! NOTHING!
The barrage of he is a dictator, know it, expect it news is beating the rest into complacency.
I know that preserving my health can be seen as complacency.
I faced down federal troops that were sent to our city after George Floyd — and I felt like a patriot for doing it.
When another George Floyd happens, I will hear about it. And I will be there in the fires.
Get off of social media. I may even destroy this account. Fuck the Internet.
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.
Gilead is nigh.
I see this as a net positive at the end of the day. Yeah it’s fucked up, but the fascists have already been given enough rope to hang themselves.
There’s no anonymity on the internet anymore, you pull this shit and it kinda ruins your life.
Sometimes the trash really does take itself out.
the fascists have already been given enough rope to hang themselves.
It’s a long road from 1933 to 1945
Yeah, but in the internet age these things move faster ya know.
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.
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.
^
Yeah, it’s always a joke until it isn’t. In which case, they are serious as a heart attack about such things…
Remember that 53% of white women voted for this.
They voted for them and all women to be considered property.
We thought we could bargain with and persuade “conservatives”. They voted for this, they are okay with women dying in hospitals because the doctors can’t legally intervene. The supposed “Pro Life” party. I wasn’t okay with abortion early in my male, hetero, American, white, life but now I see. They are only pro-fetus. Once a child is born, Republicans don’t care if they starve, if they have access to clean water, if they can afford food, if they have shelter, if they are raped, etc… Multiply that by about 100x if they don’t have white skin.
“Conservatives” are almost as bad as MAGAts, and just as unreachable with reason, logic, and empathy. I don’t have a solution, I’m just pissed off. And I’m far from the most-harmed people will be the result of this greed, racism, apathy, and hate. Sorry…
Inaccurate. 53% of white women who voted voted for this. A lot sat out and let it happen.
Or were pushed away by voter suppression and hopelessness…
Where is oversimplification going to lead us one day?
Oh, it’s 2024, never mind then
as i just said in another comment, it scares me to see this shit AGAIN.
this narrative is not making women any safer!
Yeah, the truth certainly doesn’t make women safer.
You really should talk to other white women about that.
which truth is that, that no one hates women like other women?
look at the current climate, i see a lot of woman-hating from all sides, including supposed allies on the left looking for a scapegoat. the oversimplified victim-blaming of dumping our president-elect at the feet of women (again) demonstrates very little understanding of gendered power dynamics and very little effort to build coalition.
to this i would add the threads blaming racial and ethnic minorities, the poor, and the poorly educated.
do you want less suffering in the world, or are you no better than the right in looking for someone to blame, and someone whose suffering you can enjoy because, “they asked for it, they voted for it, they deserve it?”
The truth is 53 percent of white women including 10 percent increase of young white women voted for the behavior. Behavior mind you were say on full force since 2016 and white women voted for again.
As for me, when I being a minority, when I voted for Harris, knowing full well who Trump and company, was looking to my back, didn’t expect 53 percent of white women of stabbing me and other women in the back. And seeing as white women voted for more suffering so I’m going to enjoy the schadenfreude because I’m sure as hell tired of trying to bail the country out from the stupidity of Americans in general. If that makes me as bad as the right, I’m okay with that, at least I voted to not enable this behavior, unlike 53 percent of white women who literally voted for this behavior.
White women need to get there shit in order so fix your own shit before you get all huffy with everyone else who are tired of trying to save you from yourselves.
Again, you should talk to other white women about that.
College-educated white women backed Harris. All college-educated groups did. Maybe Democrats should work on making college more affordable, and accessible to women with small children. Frankly we should anyway. We should also start helping girls that get pregnant in high school finish with their diploma so college will be an option in their future. Especially since more of them are going to be forced to carry the pregnancy to term.
Maybe Democrats should work on making college more affordable
Why do you think the wingers reacted so much to having loan forgiveness? Anything that educates more people is something they fear. Having people not being saddled with crippling debts after school only sends a message to others that maybe education is a path for them. The wingers don’t want an educated citizenry.
No, the gop has weaponized anti-intelectualism. The reds won’t vote for a candidate that wants to make college affordable.
No? What do you mean? You agree with him.
Indeed. The qons will call anyone with a degree an “elitist” [1], meanwhile, give the likes of Elon and the convicted felon, who are actual elitists, reacharounds. It’s almost as if actual meanings of words mean nothing to them.
[1] This does not apply to their own kind, even if they were born rich AF and went to Ivy League school(s).
I see you don’t like “right wing” any more than I do, because I think they justify their actions by thinking “we must be right, we’re the right wing.” So I call them the Wrong Wing.
Or sometimes the Human-Rights-Destroying Wing.
Reich wing.
That definitely works too
The DoE is already under attack. It’s part of Project 2025, and they’re laying the groundwork for it already. They’re going to work hard to ensure education is difficult to access and/or neutralized as much as possible.
No, democrats need to adjust their messages to people without a college education.
One of the things that makes Trump so popular is that he panders to people without much education.
A better-educated public is a net gain regardless who’s running the government.
Better educated women are less trapped in abusive relationships, although it still happens, because they have better job prospects and better chance to get law on their side.
Unfortunately no one hates women more than other women.
Article filled with examples of men expressing hatred and misogyny towards women
“Ayup, no one hates women more than other women!”
You still can’t deny that women do hate women here.
53 percent of women hate women with that additional 10 percent of young women that voted to hate women.
I mean I’m willing to give women as a whole a quarter as a condolence prize since they played themselves.
Sorry not allowed to acknowledge the fault of any woman, it’s all men’s fault in the end. /s
