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.

        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.
