Summary

Following the recent presidential election, online misogynistic and abusive attacks targeting women have surged, with phrases like "Your body, my choice" and "Repeal the 19th" (constitutional amendment that allowed women to vote) going viral.

Far-right influencer and white nationalist Nick Fuentes contributed to this trend with a social media post celebrating Trump’s victory, which amassed over 90 million views.

Reports indicate the harassment has extended to classrooms and campuses.

Experts warn parents to discuss these harmful online trends with children as social media increasingly shapes young people's perspectives.

I'm expecting rape cases to escalate too. Man, so many insecure, sexually frustrated small-dick men out there flexing about this shit.

Rape, will increase, rape cases…. Will probably go down.

I don’t think the “small dick” part needs to be thrown in. Seems counter productive.
