Apparently there are reports that people of colour at universities have been receiving texts saying they've been chosen to work Alabama's cotton fields and they have an hour to get ready.

There's a growing trend of males telling women, 'Your body, my choice'.

I kinda thought they'd hold off until Felon Don took the throne.

Gosh that’s ugly. I don’t get into politics though so I wouldn’t necessarily blame peoples hatred on the president.

Sounds like important people and opinions.

Yeah I read that only a few minutes ago. These scumbags should be in prison for posting that garbage. But they won't even get arrested and it's going to get worse and never get better, Unless the orange vomit clown dies very soon.

I don't get it, posting things like that is a hate crime, but these hate groups are allowed to exist without being just being tracked down and dragged away to prison. That's the American idea of freedom and free speech, I guess. :roll:

Of course the women who voted for orange vomit Hitler turd clown have no problem with this. They've been brainwashed. If they have brains to begin with.

If only they could feel the poison in my heart right now. If they could taste my heart, it would kill them.

Welp, if guys are making those threats they need aerated.

I believe the courts have already established he was coming right at me as a viable defence.

Where are you seeing these reports? Could you please post links to some examples?

EDIT: I just now found the following news stories, both dated today:

- FBI investigates racist text messages sent to black people across US by Mike Wendling, BBC News.
- ‘Your body, my choice’: Women face new surge of hate speech on X and TikTok following Trump’s election victory: "Posts have even surfaced on social media showing the phrase being chanted by boys at girls in schools," by Jennifer Mattson, Fast Company

It all sounds to me like satire.

Here’s a couple more articles on it. The first one is from Independent.

‘Your body, my choice’: Women report rise in online misogyny following Donald Trump’s victory

And this one from Bloomberg, but it’s behind a paywall for me:

‘Your Body, My Choice’: Harassment Toward Women Surges Online After Election Day

I’ve seen a post on Reddit from a woman who just experienced it from a partner, not that I’ve been on Reddit much. My ex said that to me, too, but that was a few years ago. It certainly wasn’t satire.

Racism and misogyny on online platforms/social media has been an ongoing problem, so the current situation is not that surprising to me.

Alas, they probably aren't just satire.

The anti-Black racist text messages were an anonymous, massive spam campaign, whose source the FBI has not yet tracked down. My guess would be that they came from either (1) Russian (or other foreign) government agents trying to sow division here or (2) domestic extremists who believe in "accelerationism."

The misogynistic stuff -- mainly on social media, with some in-person manifestations too -- appears to be part of a rising trend, alas. See “Your body, my choice:” Hate and harassment towards women spreads online by Isabelle Frances-Wright and Moustafa Ayad, Institute for Strategic Dialogue, 8 November 2024. (This article appears to be the primary source for other recent news stories about the latest wave of misogynistic social media posts plus harassment both online and in-person.)
