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.’”
Th 4B movement isn’t a political statement. At this point, it’s simply self-defense.
We have reached a great filter for society. If you are a woman and care about your rights you just need to know how a man voted to determine their value. You gotta dump if they voted for Trump.
I legitimately know a woman who’s divorcing her husband, finding out he was a Trump supporter was the final straw. They’ve been in a rough spot for the last year or so, he doesn’t cook/clean at all.
She was going to leave him a year ago but tried to make it work, finding out he was a secret Trumper sealed the deal for her.
Make it self-defencier and get a concealed carry license. Your body my choice is a rape threat.
There is nothing wrong with being a gun owner so long as you do it responsibly. This means going to the range weekly and not just putting it in the safe after buying it.
Handguns are there because you lack the upper body strength to fight off an attacker. 4B stops no rapist.
That’s not what firearms are. They are killing tools. Plain and simple. Not “self-defence” tools. Killing tools. The US military does not provide it’s personel with firearms to “self-defend” themselves from rape.
How does a handgun stop a woman from marrying a rapist or ending up in a relationship with one?
Your understanding of the term “self-defence” isn’t based on reality.
