Misogynistic Rhetoric Surges Following U.S. Election Results

Trump's victory fuels rise in online and offline threats against women, with extremist language spreading rapidly.

The phrase 'Your body, my choice,' popularized by far-right influencer Nick Fuentes, has gained traction as a misogynistic slogan targeting women online and on campuses.
Reports indicate a sharp increase in violent rhetoric against women on platforms like X and 4chan, including calls to repeal women's voting rights and threats of sexual violence.
Instances of harassment have extended offline, with women reporting verbal abuse on college campuses and middle schools, prompting safety concerns and self-defense measures.
Experts link the rhetoric to broader societal tensions, as some men view Trump's election as validation of traditional gender roles and a backlash against women's rights movements.
While Trump himself has not amplified this rhetoric, his campaign's focus on masculinity and attacks on women in leadership have emboldened extremist subcultures.
