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.

    Sorry but that’s bullshit and is harmful.

    Voting is quintessential to getting us out of this mess and trying to downplay the power of voting is only beneficial to those currently in power.

    There are many actions to take beyond voting, but there is one very specific reason trump is president right now: his people voted.

      Fascism is taking over and people are saying that they are planning to do nothing and let evil triumph. If you intend to sit on your ass for the next 4 years, you’re in the way of progress.
