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.

    Back when Hilary was running, I was involved in a political discussion with the two older guys I was on the job with. One man said to the other, why do you think she can’t be a good president? The other man yelled “She’s a goddamn woman!”

    These people exist in numbers.

      It’s not just men that believe this either. Internalised misogyny is still a thing, unfortunately.

      Yep. It is all too common. What is really weird is how many women I heard give really stupid reasons not to vote for Hillary - and then voted third party or actually for diaper donnie.
