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.

      When dealing with an active threat, a response that the assailant can ignore afterwards is a useless response.

      I’m teaching my daughter the same lesson I was taught. You never start a fight but you sure do end it.
