Trump’s win has given angry incels enormous power | Arwa Mahdawi
The masks were never exactly on to begin with – social media was a hotbed of bigotry long before Trump’s victory. But winning has emboldened his followers
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
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.
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...
Until they do and then they’ll be Pikachu face.
Unfortunately, they will just internalize it and convince themselves that it was something they did to prompt it.
"The leopards would never eat my face!" smh
But I didn't know it will be applied to ME, just to the people I hate!
And voted for it
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.
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.

Can we just have a mass extinction event before January 20?
Sigh yeah we’ve got those dumbasses
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...
"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™.
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.
