Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

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.

Well it probably doesn't help that over half of white women want to be treated this way

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 64 points 1 month ago (3 children)

They didn't vote for this. They voted for other women to be treated this way. Whores. Sluts.

Not them. Because they are Christian and blessed™.

Their husbands/boyfriends/pastors will never treat them that way.

Until they do and then they'll be Pikachu face.

"The leopards would never eat my face!" smh

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I think some percentage of them voted for "but the price of mah eggs and bacon" bullshit, too and put their head in the sand on any of the many blinking lights around donnie and friends...

Unfortunately, they will just internalize it and convince themselves that it was something they did to prompt it.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

And voted for it

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (3 children)

The fact that they are complete morons doesn't mean they want to be treated this way. It is a case for the leopards, but saying this is not helpful to the potential victims from both camps.

Please, keep your empathy for women in general, they're going to need it now more than ever.

No empathy for anyone who voted for this and gets burned. The hard truth is they want the subjugation to happen. Otherwise they would have voted for anyone else.

Lemmy is such an echo chamber that the terminally online here can't fathom the idea of someone voting against their own interests. But go out and talk to some people, you'll find them.

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I believe there are such people. But I don't believe the female republican voter group is homogeneous.

The world is a colourful and diverse place. There are not only people wanting to be subjugated, but also those who are braindead, absolutely uninformed, scared shitless by propaganda, too naive to believe in the existence of evil... it takes all kinds to make a world.

I don't think stupid people deserve bad things to happen to them, even though they often bring it on themselves as well as on others.

Sweet dreams are made of these...

I hear them all the time. My wife talked to a lesbian who was MAGA. It just makes no sense - this women thinks she'll live in a "safe" state (meaning, blue) but wants cheaper groceries.

That's not how any of this works.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Sigh yeah we’ve got those dumbasses

Can we just have a mass extinction event before January 20?

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

If they didn't want to be treated this way by people who loudly stated that they were going to treat them that way then they shouldn't have elected people who loudly and unabashedly told them that they were going to codify treating them that way.

I've got empathy in spades for women of color, they were allies, white women though, very little sympathy and should be called out for betraying other women and the rest of us.

"If you want roses, one must mind the thorns."

They voted for a racist, rapist with felony convictions and a pending prison sentence.

They may have not wanted to be treated like property but they are going to be. And if they don't like that, they can leave....except the very people they voted for are removing the ability for women to leave their husbands.

And even if they leave, even if they get to a safe place, I fucking guarantee you that they will still vote for Republicans.

If you want to give those women empathy, by all means. These women are about to experience fascism in a way they have never seen before. But don't think for a second they wouldn't vote for it again because of their values™.

But I didn't know it will be applied to ME, just to the people I hate!
