Summary

Following Donald Trump’s election victory, women are experiencing a surge in misogynistic harassment online, with phrases like “your body, my choice” trending as men taunt women about reproductive rights.

The phrase, co-opted from feminist slogans, reflects heightened hostility, with reports of threats on platforms like TikTok and X/Twitter.

This backlash arises as Trump’s administration, alongside VP-elect JD Vance, raises concerns about potential federal restrictions on abortion.

Even without a federal ban, existing state laws have already limited access to reproductive care, contraception, and increased maternal health risks.

I was thinking recently that, if we have to stay here in the US, I would prefer that we move to Minnesota or Michigan than stay here in Ohio, as it seemed they had their shit together more so than we do, but the latter is certainly in question now. Hell, after last November’s referendum on reproductive rights, I was at least a little encouraged, but any faith I gained in people since then has rapidly eroded.

If you're within probably 1.5 hours of the Minneapolis/st. Paul you're probably among sane folk, maybe within 30 of Duluth as well, but if you're out in the boonies and such you might be finding people who, while polite, might be flying a trump flag and think "city/colored folk" are the problem.

Well I at least don't have anything categorically to worry about with the incoming fascism other than autism, but still Colorado has at least been a good place for me and everybody I know out here, which includes more or less the whole spectrum.

Wisconsin is nice, much better than Michigan or Indiana, highly recommend. My only visit to Minnesota made it seem even better.
