Following Donald Trump’s projected election victory, a surge in misogynistic threats targeting women on social media has emerged, echoing a message popularized by neo-Nazi streamer Nick Fuentes: “Your body. My choice. Forever.” This slogan, a twisted inversion of the pro-choice movement’s “my body, my choice,” signals a growing sense of entitlement among far-right men who feel empowered to attack women’s bodily autonomy. Women are reporting an increase in violent and hateful messages, with some expressing fear that this online harassment foreshadows a future where their rights will be further restricted under Trump’s presidency. These disturbing trends, coupled with the ongoing erosion of women’s healthcare access and increased criminalization of reproductive choices, paint a bleak picture of a potential rollback of women’s rights in the years to come.

In the wake of the 2024 election, a sexist twist on the pro-choice slogan “my body, my choice” has emerged on TikTok, fueled by far-right provocateur Nick Fuentes.

This offensive catchphrase, popularized by Fuentes, is gaining traction amongst his followers, who are using it to express their views on women’s bodies and rights. The use of this phrase highlights the disturbing trend of online harassment and the amplification of hateful rhetoric on social media platforms.

Following Donald Trump’s US presidential election victory, women are experiencing a surge of online misogyny, with men using the slogan “your body, my choice” to express their opposition to reproductive rights. This slogan, originally used by feminists to advocate for bodily autonomy, is now being twisted to assert control over women’s bodies. The recent overturning of Roe v Wade, a landmark decision guaranteeing the right to abortion, has emboldened anti-abortion activists, leading to a climate of fear and uncertainty for women. Despite the lack of a federal ban on abortion, state-level laws are already severely restricting access to reproductive healthcare, putting women’s health and well-being at risk.

The 2024 election saw Donald Trump defeat Vice President Kamala Harris, prompting widespread disappointment and anger among her supporters, particularly women. Many on social media expressed a belief that the results reflect a deep-seated misogyny in the United States, citing Trump’s repeated victories against female candidates despite his controversial past. The sentiment echoes the frustration felt following Hillary Clinton’s loss in 2016, but with a heightened sense of disillusionment due to Trump’s ongoing legal troubles and his role in the January 6th insurrection. Harris’ campaign, focused on reproductive rights and democracy, failed to sway enough voters, particularly men, suggesting a growing influence of right-wing rhetoric and misogynistic attitudes, particularly among young men, in American society.

Trump’s ‘grab them’ comment was more than a passing scandal; it became a stark reflection of societal attitudes towards women, power, and privilege in America. It’s astonishing to think that eight years have passed since that infamous audio surfaced, yet it feels more relevant than ever, especially now that it’s making waves among young voters on TikTok. The conversations surrounding that tape show just how much has changed—or perhaps how much has failed to change—in our political landscape and culture.
Encountering the clip on TikTok, young people are grappling with the stark reality of what Trump said. For many, this is their first exposure to a moment in history that exposed the casual misogyny of someone who once held the highest office in the land.… Continue reading
Prominent right-wing influencers Mike Cernovich and Charlie Kirk have expressed concern over the early voting turnout among women which could negatively impact Donald Trump’s chances of victory. A Politico analysis showed a 10% gender gap in early voting, with women constituting 55% of early voters. Cernovich praised Trump’s strategy of targeting male audiences through podcast appearances but criticised the campaign’s engagement with women voters.

The Trump campaign strategised to appeal to male voters by increasing levels of misogyny and vilifying women. Signs of their misogynistic ethos included inappropriate “jokes”, devaluations of women and rape threats towards celebrities who expressed anti-Trump sentiments. This misogynistic narrative is part of a broader strategy to normalise sexist behaviour and appeal to infrequent male voters in the hope they will give Trump their votes.

As I read the headline about Trump declaring himself the ‘father of IVF’ at a town hall with an all-female audience, I couldn’t help but shake my head in disbelief. The audacity and arrogance of this man know no bounds. Claiming to be the pioneer of in vitro fertilization is not only false but also deeply disrespectful to the actual scientists and researchers who have worked tirelessly in the field for decades. It’s another delusional statement from a man who seems to live in a reality of his own creation.
It’s alarming how his supporters continue to overlook his narcissistic tendencies and blatant lies.… Continue reading
As I read the news about Donald Trump accusing Kamala Harris of setting him up to fall out of his chair at an event, I couldn’t help but shake my head in disbelief. The sheer audacity of pointing fingers and playing the blame game shows just how low some politicians are willing to go. Instead of taking responsibility for his own actions, Trump’s immediate reaction was to accuse Harris of foul play. This behavior is not only childish but also indicative of a larger issue at hand.
It is alarming to see a former President of the United States resort to such petty and baseless accusations.… Continue reading
