Attacks on women rise sharply on social media after Trump’s reelection
Following Donald Trump's reelection, sexist and abusive attacks on women have surged on social media. An analysis by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue found a 4,600% increase in mentions of phrases like "your body, my choice" on X. Notably, a post by white nationalist Nick Fuentes received over 90 million views. Many women reported increased harassment on platforms like TikTok, where similar phrases were used in derogatory comments. The rise in online abuse reflects a growing trend among far-right groups, with calls for the repeal of women's voting rights also increasing. TikTok stated it would remove content that violates its guidelines, while X's response to harassment remains unclear.
