A barrage of misogynistic comments have permeated social media since Donald Trump became the president-elect last week, according to research from London-based think tank, Institute for Strategic Dialogue. “Your body, my choice” — a phrase popularised by white nationalist Nick Fuentes — became the reigning chant among men on the far right who commented on women’s posts across social media, especially those who expressed sorrow at the election results, the report found.

Gender played a central role in this year’s election as Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign emphasised reproductive rights. Polls before the election had found a widening gender gap between the two candidates. Trump ended up outperforming many of those polls. NBC News exit polling found he drew 45 per cent of all female votes, compared with 53 per cent for Harris — a significant improvement from 2020, when he lost among female voters by 15 percentage points to Joe Biden.
