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.

    Sounds a lot like “we wish all the men just disappeared”, “I would rather be with a bear”, and “they are useless anyway and we dont need them for anything”. I just can’t figure out why men didn’t vote for more of that?

      I’m a man, and I voted against the fascists.

      Because I’m not a fragile moron who thinks Daddy Trump will make women be nice to me.

      Equalization often feels like oppression to the dominant group that’s been favored and catered to in society’s history. Like Christians being upset over secular public institutions, or some white Americans thinking they were the victims when Jim Crow laws were overturned.

      From a fellow dude…let it go.

      Um, but even if that were true, how is donnie going to change the minds of millions of women? I swear, some people seem to think he has a magic wand or something. Like he’s going to somehow set up every incel with a bombshell that’s so very into him…

        Lol. It still doesn’t change the reality of the election. Large groups of the electorate voted against your party when you offered no incentive to inspire their vote. Instead of admitting that reality you call them names or insult their intelligence.
