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.’”

advocate for people's rights

You really can't be both at the same time.

After this election I've had to cut a bunch of people out of my life, even relatives. A lot of them saying such wonderful things as "trump's just saying things, he doesn't actually mean anything he's saying." And then they'd get defensive when I'd ask them why they votes for him then if he doesn't mean anything he says.

It's really hard to cut people out of your life but afterwards it's amazing realizing that you don't need to tip toe around things that may be vaguely political (or explicitly) anymore to not start an argument.

People that vote for the violence against the people I love have no place in my life no matter who that person is.

That's the spirit

Family is the relationship, relatives are who you're related to.

Found family is better anyways.
