Following the US presidential election, online hate speech and harassment toward women surged, with some users calling to limit women’s rights.

A new report from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) has found that digital hate and harassment against women rose rapidly after the U.S. presidential election. Sexist phrases like “repeal the 19th [Amendment]” and “get back to the kitchen” surged on platforms like X, TikTok, Facebook, and Reddit following President Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. Many of the most frequent comments involve calls for a decrease in women’s rights, while others have explicitly threatened women with sexual assault and harassment. Mentions of the statement “Your body, my choice”—a direct response to the reproductive justice movement’s slogan, “my body, my choice”—grew by over 4600 percent on X. The phrase also appears to have grown in popularity offline, with parents and students reporting groups of boys chanting it to girls in schools. One parent commented online, “Today my daughter was told three separate times on campus ‘your body, MY choice.’ The third group of boys told her to ‘sleep with one eye open tonight.’”

    Without even clicking the links; they are videos about the insane sexism and fragile masculinity in South Korea.

    Edit: i was right! Specifically they are about how god damned pathetic Korean men are. They can’t even see a self insert male protagonist in a phone game without screaming that they are being cucked. They make our incels look like the picture of healthy masculinity.
