Women report increased misogyny online post-election

Your body, my choice? Seriously? Some very broken little boys out there.

I queued with two guys in a video game Wednesday morning who spouted that line. I was taken aback. How do you effectively respond to someone who says that? I didn't handle it well, but I have thought about it a lot since it happened. I remember playing with shock humor when I was in high school, but that is beyond the pale.
- I stopped playing online games some years back because this sort of thing was far too common. And I bet it's even worse now.
- Sometimes asking them to explain the joke will be enough to get them feeling embarrassed. If there’s multiple guys throwing this shit around that tactic could easily backfire, though.
- Tell them about Lorena Bobbitt. Modern women can learn a lot from her failure to dispose of the dick properly.
  (The tactic is to shock them right back)

Unfortunately there are many. And no matter what their interests are, whether it's sports, video games, or going to the gym, there are right-wing groups who have set up shop to welcome them to their side. They provide them fraternity, an in-group to be part of, share their common interest, and pump a steady stream of misogyny and bigotry to normalize it.
And it worked.
- That is absolutely horrifying
- This seems very off to me. Like it's manufactured. It might be true. But most of the young men I know hate that guy. And all that he stands for. It's hard to imagine them voting on his side.
Yeah its so rapey, its almost unbelievable.
- Well, he is an incel. A lot of that whiney bunch seem to think they are owed sex or something. Explains a lot of creepy winger behavior.
- My first thought is that it's about denying abortion, but yeah, it'll escalate into rapey real quick.
Nazis like to do a "you think that was a shitty thing to say? That's nothing! Hold my beer!" kind of thing.
It seriously explains a ton of their behavior.
- To elicit a response is to feel powerful. The greater the response, the more power perceived. It's a self worth issue. America is dying from low self esteem. The bravado we project is just some small dick energy, over compensation. We are a nation of people trying to buy an identity from a car dealership. Presently this yearning for purpose has been disastrously harnessed by jackals.
And yet, after this election, this statement isn't incorrect.

The US elects a misogynistic fascist, and misogynists feel emboldened. Who could have seen this coming? I'm as surprised as y'all are—which is to say: not at all.

Yeah, he's either in the closet, or hopefully an incel. I sure hope no woman ever has sex with this asshole. What a dweeb.
- He claims to be an incel but then brags about how being celibate is him making a great choice, which would make him a volcel.
  Toxic piece of shit either way, though.
Life imitating art. And it's unsurprising that these people have the maturity of teenage boys.
Real men fuck men

Absolutely disgusting to hear it being said. I hope I get a chance to "correct" someone for doing this, as someone with daughters. That shit don't fly.

If he's so white, why is his last name Fuentes? Sounds like maybe he's not "inner circle" material. Maybe he's employing some classic misdirection so the True Whites don't notice.

Dipshits like him obviously haven't paid much attention to history, because if history is any lesson, even the True Whites are fodder for lots of (sometimes literal) backstabbing and purges and ideological witch hunts. I'm sure other wingers can and will find reasons to cast him out - the last name, as you point out, and also the fact that he is an incel/possibly closeted - I bet even a lot of unhinged wingers might find that a bit weird for him to say that dating women is gay.

Everyone get offline, surfs no good

Yeah, we all know. We have known for a long time. This isn't news.
