Summary

Following Trumpā€™s election victory, social media saw a surge in misogynistic rhetoric, with phrases like ā€œYour body, my choiceā€ ā€” promoted by figures like white supremacist Nick Fuentes ā€” trending widely.

The Institute for Strategic Dialogue reported a 4,600% spike in misogynistic language on social media and noted that harassment has spilled into schools.

Trumpā€™s win, amplified by Elon Muskā€™s support, has emboldened ā€œmanosphereā€ influencers, aligning Trump with anti-feminist figures.

This rise in misogyny comes amid other social shifts, such as the election of two Black female senators, a first in U.S. history.

    If history is any indication - remember how ANGRY the qons were the last time their precious donvict ā€œwonā€? There were explosions of their rage all over the place, and thatā€™s after they supposedly ā€œwonā€. Just what they thought they won, who the hell knows. And even after four years, it seems almost none of them figured out that he did jack squat for them.

    They are poised to get even less laid than they get now. :) Combine that with their slow realization that, no, there is no one that is going to praise them just because their loser is in office, and indeed, the mockery is going to increase, and they are going to be vewy, vewy angry. Aw, sad emoji.

      Yea I remember this same thing. He won and they were even angrier.

      Because itā€™s not like trump being in the White House is suddenly going to make women not be immediately repelled when they show up, mansplain Joe Rogan, and call her a femoid.

      They fell for it again. This time heā€™s really really gonna make it great. Him and jd Vance have some really novel ideas about lowering the age women can get married and making it impossible to get divorced, so finally they can have a child bride or some shit.

      Itā€™s super gross and I hope they end up jerking it to trump fanfic every night crying themselves to sleep.

        He won and they were even angrier.

        Youā€™ll notice the same thing happened when the caught the car with that repealing 50 years of settled law when it came to Roe, too. They were fucking LIVID. I ran into many instances of this IRL. One raging Karen was practically crying she was so hopping mad. I mean, this is someone that would embrace compelled religious (xtian of course, and only THEIR kind of xtianity, naturally) attendance and teaching of their xtianity in public schools.

        I let her rage on for a bit, then calmly asked her - but isnā€™t this what you people WANTED? Total incoherent answer, just about sobbing about how this would galvanize those people that hate the donvict, hate (their) god, and so onā€¦

          I do sometimes wonder if itā€™s a skill issue, but that feels like a really dangerously self serving position to take, that people that disagree with me are just too dumb.

          I like to think that Iā€™m a relatively smart person, I have a very technical job and thereā€™s very few situations where I donā€™t understand whatā€™s going on (although thereā€™s definitely plenty). Sometime though Iā€™ll be out and about in my life and meet people that just donā€™t seem to have any idea how extremely basic, to me at least, things work. How does compounding interest work, how does insurance work, why should I put money into a retirement account. Not fresh adults either, people in their 30s / 40s / 50s who just seem content not understanding relatively basic things.

          The world preys on these people, if someone doesnā€™t understand compound interest then you can really bamboozle them. If you donā€™t see the value of having insurance because you work out and are ā€œhealthyā€ and then suddenly get cancer or some other disease that doesnā€™t give a shit about how much you can bench, you are fucked.

          There is a part of me that thinks that for a lot of people the world is a confusing and unknowable mystery. I mean, itā€™s not really, but the amount of effort to figure those things out is just too high for them to give a shit. And I think about how weird it would be to go through life like that. At the mercy of forces you donā€™t understand, and then some guy comes up and says ā€œeverythingā€™s fucked up but I can make it greatā€ and because you already donā€™t know how shit works you think ā€œawesome, because Iā€™m drowning in medical debt because I didnā€™t think I needed insurance and got screwed overā€

          I think about this person I met once, I was building planning and projection software and their job was to perform projection calculations for inventory ordering. I watched, in horror, as they tabbed away from excel to manually add up some figures. This is excel, what are you doing?! I showed them the sum function thinking that they would be happy. Then they looked at me and said ā€œthatā€™s too complicated, Iā€™ll just do it myselfā€

          Wild, that was too complicated. It taught me an important lesson though about how everyoneā€™s bar for complicated is different. I think for a lot of people ā€œhow does insurance workā€ is too complicated. ā€œWhatā€™s a tariff and how does it workā€ is too complicated. So it just comes down to ā€œdo I trust the person talkingā€

      Thatā€™s why the Heritage Foundation is going to reclassify rape as a property crime against the womanā€™s father or husband.
