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.

    Maybe fix the structure - the whole voting system - rather than just putting more of the same into the never ending circle jerk?

    Democrats had their chance to make reforms and ignored it. Both parties oppose election reform because it threatens their [current] control.

    The people are to blame.
