MAGA’s Violent Threats Spike as Little Girls Threatened With Rape

Donald Trump’s win continues to bring out the very worst in his supporters.

Summary

Donald Trump’s re-election has fueled a surge in misogynistic, homophobic, and racist rhetoric among young men, reportedly emboldened by the president-elect’s history of inflammatory remarks about women.

In schools, boys have been caught using phrases like “your body, my choice” against female peers, prompting districts like Minnesota’s Hopkins Public Schools to issue warnings to parents about harassment.

The impact extends beyond schools, with activists on Texas State University’s campus displaying signs asserting that “women are property.”

This hostile climate has left many women feeling unsafe as a new far-right administration takes power.

      I’ve been very frustrated that these guys bad behavior is being generalized to all guys. I’m viewed with suspicion despite taking active steps to make things better for the women in my life. I’m not perfect, and I have my moments, but I’m not the undatable Republican dude we’re talking about here.

      This isn’t the women’s fault, but I wish I could give some of these asshole misogynists a kick in the face for fucking it up for the rest of us. Having said that, I will be ban happy as a motherfucker the next time I run public events (used to teach classes, think dance, yoga, etc.)

        It’s the point where we have to be anti instead of just not. Being anti racist, anti sexist, etc. Calling out the behavior at every turn instead of when it’s especially egregious or burying our heads in the sand as was the norm for decades before.

          True. Also, it has to be individual actions since we can’t rely on the Democrats and we definitely can’t rely on the Republicans to fix this from the top down. We’re actually going to have to talk to the misogynists in our lives. Why can’t people fucking act right?

          Real men respect women.

      Probably going to make 4B more of a thing.

      Also: Nick Fuentes has been out as very undatable for a long time.

          I’m thinking he’s someone that had his lunch money taken every day at school, had zero luck with women (or lusted after men but grew up with a warped belief system about sexuality and lives in the closet) and now just wants to make sure no one else is happy, either.

            He found fame and money saying this type of stuff. Its to the point where people exclude his attribution in the title because otherwise its not very interesting.
