Summary

Following Trump’s election victory, social media saw a surge in misogynistic rhetoric, with phrases like “Your body, my choice” — promoted by figures like white supremacist Nick Fuentes — 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.

Trump’s win, amplified by Elon Musk’s support, has emboldened “manosphere” 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.

    it’s a joke. the same thing happened the first time he won. roe v wade hadn’t been overturned yet, so the jokes were different, but it was basically a flood of “cry about it liberals/cope seethe” etc. this reaction is exactly the intended response. it will die out in a few more days.
