Trump election victory divides women: protest or desire to have children?
Donald Trump's recent election victory triggered a surprising wave of outrage and reorientation in the USA. While some liberal-minded women completely reject relationships with men in protest, conservative women are calling on social media to have more children. After Trump's triumph in the presidential election, the United States is witnessing an increase in supporters of the South Korean 4B movement. This movement rejects sex, marriage and children in protest against gender inequality and uses hashtags such as #4BMovement to amplify their criticism.
Women vent their anger on social media. "American women, it looks like it's time to be influenced by Korea's 4B movement," one user posted. Many point to the repeal of Roe v. Wade, which restricted abortion rights, as the catalyst for their decision. One supporter warned on TikTok that now is "time to close your wombs to men," while other users stressed that men who disrespect women don't deserve access to their bodies either.
Cheers to Trump's victory: Conservative euphoria
But not all women in America keep their distance from men. Conservative women celebrate Trump's victory as a gateway to a promising economic landscape that makes more children possible. Tara Elsas, an Illinois mother, dances in a viral TikTok video and jokes that she will ask her husband to have another child thanks to the economic stability that now awaits them. Elsas sees Trump's anti-inflation plans as key to her family planning and describes the election victory as a "big relief." Her words resonate with many others who dream of cheaper overtime taxes and lower gas prices.
Elsas also hopes that Trump's policies will strengthen America's cultural and social values. The prospect of keeping boys out of her daughter's locker room and preventing men from playing in women's sports is significant to her. Her posts are getting plenty of support on social media, especially from other conservative women who are making similar plans for the future. The idea of raising more children in a more stable economic and social environment is very popular. “That was literally the first thing I texted my husband yesterday morning,” said another euphoric commenter.
