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 am legit debating about quitting my job because my supervisor (in NJ) said that he didn’t vote because he didn’t like either candidates, he felt his Christian values were not embodied by either of the candidates. I just wanted to be like “removed, how about at least vote against someone who spits at those values”. Up until now I respected him, I thought he was knowledgeable at work and just assumed that he would be knowledgeable about outside world too.
