Ken Calvert won reelection in the Inland Empire a day after Republican Rep. David Valadao won another tight contest in his district around Bakersfield. The \u003cem>Associated Press\u003c/em> called the races as California election officials continue to count tens of thousands of ballots across the state’s competitive districts. Late Wednesday, a victory by Arizona Rep. Juan Ciscomani clinched the Republican House majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats had viewed California — and those competitive districts — as a key piece of their plan to retake the House majority. Although the party has gained ground within the state delegation, Democratic hopes for wider gains were dashed, leaving Republicans to control both chambers of Congress as President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">In the 41st District, which includes the Riverside County cities of Corona, Menifee and Palm Springs, Calvert defeated Democrat Will Rollins in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12009362/riverside-rematch-will-help-decide-which-party-controls-the-house\">rematch of the 2022 election\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a hard-fought victory that shows voters want someone who will put results over partisan politics,” Calvert said in a statement. “Together, we’ll continue working to secure our border, bring down prices for working families and ensure law enforcement has all the tools they need to keep our communities safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican gains across the Inland Empire may have boosted the 16-term incumbent. Trump visited the Coachella Valley in the closing weeks of the campaign and currently holds a narrow lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in Riverside County, which President Joe Biden won by 8 percentage points in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Central Valley, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12007594/democrats-are-hoping-to-flip-this-central-valley-house-seat-it-wont-be-easy\">Valadao defeated Rudy Salas\u003c/a> in a rematch from 2022 when Valadao narrowly bested the former Assemblymember. Valadao, a dairy farmer first elected to the House in 2012, appeared to expand his support from 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest returns from the 22nd District show Valadao leading Salas 53% to 47%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valadao will return to Washington as one of the two remaining House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I will continue reaching across the aisle to find solutions to increase the Valley’s water supply, make energy more affordable, ensure our law enforcement are well-funded to keep communities safe, create good-paying jobs, and improve our healthcare system,” he said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Further north in the 13th District, near Merced, Rep. John Duarte leads former Assemblymember Adam Gray 51% to 49%, in another rematch from last cycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Democrats’ biggest coup of the cycle undoubtedly came in Southern California, where \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12010811/balance-of-power-democrats-are-hoping-an-aerospace-executive-can-beat-a-republican-navy-combat-pilot\">George Whitesides\u003c/a> knocked off incumbent Republican Rep. Mike Garcia on Tuesday in the 27th District, north of Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia was first elected in 2020 in a suburban district that has trended left. Democrats were exasperated when Garcia won reelection in 2022 despite the removal of the conservative enclave of Simi Valley during the redistricting process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12014032 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/20161109_203307_qed-1020x765.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whitesides, the former CEO of Virgin Galactic, gave more than $1 million to his campaign and ran on a moderate platform supporting tax cuts and more funding for police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the honor of a lifetime to be elected to serve our district in Congress and deliver for Santa Clarita, the Antelope Valley, and the San Fernando Valley,” Whitesides said in a statement. “In Congress, you can count on me to fight to create more good local jobs, lower everyday costs, build safe communities, protect Social Security and Medicare.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elsewhere in Southern California, incumbent Republican \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12008573/asian-american-voters-are-key-in-this-orange-county-congressional-race\">Michelle Steel\u003c/a> is narrowly leading Democrat Derek Tran in the 45th District — although recently counted ballots from Orange and Los Angeles counties have significantly narrowed Steel’s advantage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another Orange County election, Democrat Dave Min defeated Republican Scott Baugh in the 47th District.

Some of the protests \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11166247/trumps-election-greeted-by-berkeley-oakland-protests\">turned violent\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, in 2024, the days after Trump’s decisive victory over \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/kamala-harris\">Vice President Kamala Harris\u003c/a> have been very different. A couple dozen people \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12013226/dozens-gather-in-sf-for-vigil-after-trump-win\">gathered for a vigil\u003c/a> at Harvey Milk Plaza on Wednesday night. There was a small demonstration at UC Berkeley, and about 100 people marched through the streets of San José.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mostly, the response has felt muted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the main outcome for many people who might have been out protesting is the feeling of being dispirited, the feeling of being humbled, the feeling of being out of touch with a lot of America,” said Jon Krosnick, a political psychologist at Stanford University. “Those aren’t the kinds of emotions that are inspiring a protest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many people KQED spoke with said election results left them feeling defeated. Some are unsure what real impact another march will have. And a significant number of the young people who were coming of age during Trump’s first term say they’re disillusioned with the Democratic Party. While there haven’t been mass protests in the streets, all of these contingents say they are looking toward Trump’s second term and preparing to fight it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Max Flynt, who is a member of the General Union of Palestine Students at San Francisco State, said there wasn’t a possible election outcome that made Trump’s victory worth protesting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t ignore the biggest anti-war movement in over half a century internationally, but also across campuses all across the United States, and expect young people to be excited,” he told KQED. “You can’t move to the right on immigration, brag about building Donald Trump’s border wall, prosecuting transnational gangs, demonizing immigrants and expect Democrats and young people to vote for the Democratic Party.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pro-Palestinian protesters have been a force on Bay Area college campuses since Israel began its war in Gaza after a Hamas-led attack killed 1,200 people in October 2023. Activists have criticized the Biden administration’s financial support for Israel throughout the war, which has now killed more than \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12011429/these-gen-z-voters-are-choosing-kamala-harris-but-gaza-is-still-a-sticking-point\">42,000 Palestinians\u003c/a>, according to Gaza health officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahead of the presidential election, SF State’s General Union of Palestine Students, along with local pro-Palestine campus organizations, encouraged members not to vote for either Trump or Harris, running a “No more votes for genocide” campaign on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will continue to declare our full support for Palestinian liberation and will not be fooled by a two-party system that continues to be complicit and in full support of the genocide in Gaza,” the organization posted on \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/DBybbr9pPpu/\">Instagram\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young people between the ages of 18 and 29 did vote at a significantly lower rate — 42% compared to 52% — than in 2020, according to Tufts University’s \u003ca href=\"https://circle.tufts.edu/latest-research/overall-youth-turnout-down-2020-strong-battleground-states\">Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even among those who were fans of Harris, Krosnick said the election’s circumstances are different now than they were in 2016. Then, it felt implausible that someone who used inflammatory language like Trump would be elected. There was outrage that he lost the popular vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time, he won the electoral college more handily and is leading in the popular vote by more than a two-point margin.

They expect Trump, who has urged Israel to “finish the job” in Gaza, will be less critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think with Trump in office, this could galvanize people,” Yan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They see the second Trump term as an opportunity for Democrats to rally around the pro-Palestine movement and move toward the progressive wing of the party.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_12013226,news_12012421,forum_2010101907754\"]“We’re hoping that we see something similar to the attitude around [Black Lives Matter],” Flynt said. “When Donald Trump became president — [creating] the 1776 project, calling BLM terrorists, calling antifa terrorists — all of a sudden, we see \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13881731/a-front-row-seat-at-the-woke-theatre\">Nancy Pelosi wearing a Kente cloth\u003c/a>, on her knee, putting her fist up for the Black Lives Matter movement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tweedie expects people to focus less on protest and more on advocacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think what you’re going to see and what I’m already seeing a lot more of is rather than negative campaigns, positive campaigns,” she said. “The ACLU is investing time into, ‘How can we protect rights that we’re scared we’re going to lose?’ rather than ‘How can we protest against Trump?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students she’s spoken with want to focus on issue-driven organizing efforts. Tweedie believes state-level mutual aid campaigns and legal fights where abortion restrictions, anti-transgender laws and crackdowns on immigration are the most severe will likely lead Democrats’ resistance to whatever the incoming administration chooses to target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yan agrees that just because there hasn’t been mass protest on the streets doesn’t mean people aren’t focused on how to face the next four years.

We have to get organized,” he told KQED. “How do we be more tactful about how to fight back and when?

"content": "\u003cp>As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to reenter the White House, California housing advocates are bracing for how a second term could impact the state’s notoriously high home prices, rents and rates of homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the campaign trail, Trump promised to fix the country’s growing housing affordability crisis by slashing mortgage rates, reducing regulations and opening federal land for housing construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a stark contrast to his first term when housing policy was largely absent from either major candidate’s presidential platforms. This time around, that’s changed, and Trump has recognized housing affordability is a problem, said Matthew Schwartz, executive director of the policy organization the California Housing Partnership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And the Trump administration has four years to fulfill a promise to make housing more affordable,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, just how that happens is a point of concern among many California lawmakers, prompting Gov. Gavin Newsom earlier last week \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12013535/california-and-the-bay-area-took-on-trump-before-theyre-ready-to-do-it-again\">to call for a special session\u003c/a> of the Legislature to strategize ways to counteract the more harmful aspects of Trump’s proposals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How are we going to strengthen — from a legal perspective, as well as a policy perspective — the policies that are in place in California,” state Sen. Aisha Wahab (D-Fremont) said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, policymakers in California are wrestling with Democrats’ losses this election — not just nationally but also inside California. Two statewide ballot measures that would have directly helped residents better afford housing — by \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/BallotAnalysis/Proposition?number=5&year=2024\">raising money for new affordable housing\u003c/a> and allowing local governments to \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/BallotAnalysis/Proposition?number=33&year=2024\">strengthen tenant protections\u003c/a> — both failed.

"content": "\u003cp>Following President-elect Trump’s victory — which was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/11/08/g-s1-33274/2024-election-how-trump-won-takeaways\">fueled by male voters\u003c/a> and to many looked like a referendum on \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/11/06/nx-s1-5175072/how-the-gender-gap-played-out-in-the-2024-election\">reproductive rights\u003c/a> — some young American women are talking about boycotting men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea comes from the South Korean movement known as 4B, or the 4 No’s (\u003cem>bi\u003c/em> means “not” in Korean). It calls for the refusal of dating men (\u003cem>biyeonae\u003c/em>), sexual relationships with men (\u003cem>bisekseu\u003c/em>), heterosexual marriage (\u003cem>bihon\u003c/em>) and childbirth (\u003cem>bichulsan\u003c/em>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interest in the 4B movement has surged in the days since the election, with \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/JessicaValenti/status/1854312789847720088\">Google searches spiking\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/search/user?q=4bmovement&t=1731019154913\">hashtag taking off\u003c/a> on social media. Scores of young women are exploring and promoting the idea in posts on platforms like \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/shellshockkk/status/1854310178398593523\">TikTok\u003c/a> and X.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s time for American women to participate in our own 4B movement,” one woman \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/chrissturnsgf/status/1854228285439250733\">posted on TikTok\u003c/a>. “If men won’t respect our bodies, they don’t get access to our bodies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ladies, we need to start considering the 4B movement like the women in South Korea and give America a severely sharp birth rate decline,” reads \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/lalisasaura/status/1854042360415412584\">one tweet\u003c/a> with over 470,000 likes. “We can’t let these men have the last laugh … we need to bite back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s time to close off your wombs to males,” reads \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/solitasims/status/1854042435695129072\">another viral post\u003c/a>. “This election proves now more than ever that they hate us & hate us proudly. Do not reward them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several recent tweets from far-right men with large social media followings would seem to illustrate their point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicholas Fuentes, a white nationalist and Holocaust denier — whom Trump was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/11/29/1139742844/republicans-denounce-trump-dinner-white-supremacist-nick-fuentes\">criticized for hosting at a dinner\u003c/a> at his Mar-a-Lago resort in 2022 — \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/NickJFuentes/status/1854015641218355621\">tweeted,\u003c/a> “Your body, my choice. Forever,” as the results turned in Trump’s favor on Election Night. The tweet got 40,000 likes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social media users have since \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/RachelCharleneL/status/1854378042728022417\">noticed a pattern of men commenting\u003c/a> that phrase, or similar, on women’s TikTok posts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another, Jon Miller, who describes himself as a moderate and “fair & balanced political commentator,” \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/MillerStream/status/1854247807735214298\">tweeted on Wednesday\u003c/a>, “women threatening sex strikes like LMAO as if you have a say.” The post has gotten over 50 million views, sparked considerable backlash and was appended with a community note clarifying that sex without consent is rape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ju Hui Judy Han, a gender studies professor at the University of California Los Angeles who also specializes in Korean studies, says the growing interest in 4B at this moment is understandable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Clearly, this is about American women trying to find sources of leverage, sources of empowerment that can, in the short-term, make them feel like they have some agency … in these dire times, with the election and \u003cem>Roe v. Wade\u003c/em> behind us,” Han told NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, she was surprised to see it take off so suddenly this week, in large part because the movement is so specific to South Korean society and what she describes as its “culture of compulsory marriage” and childbirth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where did 4B come from — and could it catch on somewhere else?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>For context, gender inequality is deeply rooted in South Korea\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Han describes 4B as a relatively small movement that began as an offshoot of the growing feminist movement in South Korea, driven by structural misogyny and gender discrimination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>South Korea ranked 99 out of 146 in the World Economic Forum’s 2024 \u003ca href=\"https://www.weforum.org/publications/global-gender-gap-report-2024/digest/\">Global Gender Gap Index\u003c/a>, and for decades has had the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/12/03/1135162927/women-feminism-south-korea-sexism-protest-haeil-yoon\">largest pay gap\u003c/a> among the countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) — it was 31% in 2021, compared to about 16% in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Economist’s glass-ceiling index ranked it the \u003ca href=\"https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/glass-ceiling-index\">worst OECD country\u003c/a> for working women in 2022, in part because of strict maternity leave policies that force many women to choose between career and family.

For example, the country’s president last year suggested that \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/27/opinion/south-korea-fertility-rate-feminism.html#:~:text=President%20Yoon%20Suk%2Dyeol%2C%20elected,'ve%20seen%2C%20is%20retaliation.\">feminism is to blame\u003c/a> for blocking “healthy relationships” between men and women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Han thinks it likely that American women exploring 4B could see backlash from their immediate circle just for “exercising their right to do these obvious things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Declaring yourself to be a feminist in an anti-feminist world can have consequences,” Han said. “I think any sort of refusal to participate in the status quo could obviously have some negative consequences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As some social media users have pointed out, 4B is as much about cutting ties with men as it is \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/rusticfem/status/1854251241062433247\">supporting other women\u003c/a>. Sivakumar says the intended target is women’s autonomy rather than necessarily seeking to punish men, calling it an “individual effort on behalf of women.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The support of a collective is what makes the movement so powerful, Han said, adding that she hopes it will lead to more hands-on organizing for social change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One individual refusing to have sex is just one individual refusing to have sex,” Han said. “But when they recognize other women doing the same thing or wanting to share their frustration and their pursuit of agency in doing something collectively, now that’s a start of something else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Could 4B catch on in the US?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Many in the U.S. see Trump’s victory as a referendum on women’s rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former president has been accused of sexual misconduct by \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/10/25/g-s1-29963/stacey-williams-donald-trump-jeffrey-epstein\">dozens of women\u003c/a> dating back decades and was found \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/05/09/1175071486/jury-finds-trump-liable-for-sexual-abuse-in-e-jean-carrolls-civil-case\">liable for sexual abuse\u003c/a> by a jury.

His running mate, Vice President-elect Vance, drew widespread ire for his comments about “\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/29/nx-s1-5055616/jd-vance-childless-cat-lady-history\">childless cat ladies\u003c/a>” over the summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Vice President Harris had made \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/09/10/nx-s1-5099060/harris-campaign-abortion-reproductive-freedom-bus-tour-ivf-trump\">protecting abortion rights\u003c/a> a central feature of her ultimately unsuccessful campaign to become the first female president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump made narrow gains among both women and men compared to 2020, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/election-harris-trump-women-latinos-black-voters-0f3fbda3362f3dcfe41aa6b858f22d12\">Associated Press\u003c/a> — but won men in every single age group. Exit polls show \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/interactive/2024/exit-polls-2024-election/?itid=lk_inline_manual_31\">55% of American men\u003c/a> voted for Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I completely see the appeal right now after the election, I’m just so angry with men as a whole,” said Keara Sullivan, a 25-year-old comedian based in Brooklyn who has been hearing a lot about 4B online in recent days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sullivan feels strongly that women “should stop dating and marrying and having sex with men who actively vote against their human rights.” But she has concerns about aspects of the 4B movement, including worrying that women abstaining from sex could be seen as playing right into ultra-conservatives’ wishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, Sullivan thinks it’s a good thing that people are talking about a U.S. 4B movement. She’s already seeing women who are not usually outspoken about feminism joining the discourse for the first time — and, like Han, hopes it will lead to more direct action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m hoping that this newfound sense of solidarity women are finding on social media can propel us into more direct feminist organizing and disruption that makes specific demands of our government,” Sullivan said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

For example, the country’s president last year suggested that \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/27/opinion/south-korea-fertility-rate-feminism.html#:~:text=President%20Yoon%20Suk%2Dyeol%2C%20elected,'ve%20seen%2C%20is%20retaliation.\">feminism is to blame\u003c/a> for blocking “healthy relationships” between men and women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Han thinks it likely that American women exploring 4B could see backlash from their immediate circle just for “exercising their right to do these obvious things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Declaring yourself to be a feminist in an anti-feminist world can have consequences,” Han said. “I think any sort of refusal to participate in the status quo could obviously have some negative consequences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As some social media users have pointed out, 4B is as much about cutting ties with men as it is \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/rusticfem/status/1854251241062433247\">supporting other women\u003c/a>. Sivakumar says the intended target is women’s autonomy rather than necessarily seeking to punish men, calling it an “individual effort on behalf of women.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The support of a collective is what makes the movement so powerful, Han said, adding that she hopes it will lead to more hands-on organizing for social change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One individual refusing to have sex is just one individual refusing to have sex,” Han said. “But when they recognize other women doing the same thing or wanting to share their frustration and their pursuit of agency in doing something collectively, now that’s a start of something else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Could 4B catch on in the US?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Many in the U.S. see Trump’s victory as a referendum on women’s rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former president has been accused of sexual misconduct by \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/10/25/g-s1-29963/stacey-williams-donald-trump-jeffrey-epstein\">dozens of women\u003c/a> dating back decades and was found \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/05/09/1175071486/jury-finds-trump-liable-for-sexual-abuse-in-e-jean-carrolls-civil-case\">liable for sexual abuse\u003c/a> by a jury. Despite saying he opposes a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/04/08/1243363396/trump-abortion\">nationwide abortion ban\u003c/a>, Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-was-able-kill-roe-v-wade-rcna84897\">has bragged\u003c/a> about appointing the Supreme Court justices who led to the reversal of \u003cem>Roe\u003c/em>. His running mate, Vice President-elect Vance, drew widespread ire for his comments about “\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/29/nx-s1-5055616/jd-vance-childless-cat-lady-history\">childless cat ladies\u003c/a>” over the summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Vice President Harris had made \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/09/10/nx-s1-5099060/harris-campaign-abortion-reproductive-freedom-bus-tour-ivf-trump\">protecting abortion rights\u003c/a> a central feature of her ultimately unsuccessful campaign to become the first female president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump made narrow gains among both women and men compared to 2020, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/election-harris-trump-women-latinos-black-voters-0f3fbda3362f3dcfe41aa6b858f22d12\">Associated Press\u003c/a> — but won men in every single age group. Exit polls show \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/interactive/2024/exit-polls-2024-election/?itid=lk_inline_manual_31\">55% of American men\u003c/a> voted for Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I completely see the appeal right now after the election, I’m just so angry with men as a whole,” said Keara Sullivan, a 25-year-old comedian based in Brooklyn who has been hearing a lot about 4B online in recent days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sullivan feels strongly that women “should stop dating and marrying and having sex with men who actively vote against their human rights.” But she has concerns about aspects of the 4B movement, including worrying that women abstaining from sex could be seen as playing right into ultra-conservatives’ wishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, Sullivan thinks it’s a good thing that people are talking about a U.S. 4B movement. She’s already seeing women who are not usually outspoken about feminism joining the discourse for the first time — and, like Han, hopes it will lead to more direct action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Telehealth company Wisp saw an immediate spike in abortion pill orders between Election Day and the following day, with a 600% increase. In states like Florida and Texas, where the medication cannot be legally shipped, the company saw a nearly 1000% percent increase in orders of so-called “morning after” pills, also known as emergency contraception.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company fills about tens of thousands of orders monthly for reproductive products including birth control pills and abortion pills, CEO Monica Cepak told the Associated Press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now women typically take a two-step regimen of mifepristone and misoprostol to complete a medication abortion. Cepak said the company will keep a “close eye” on mifepristone under a Trump administration and is prepared to shift to a misoprostol-only regimen should restriction to mifepristone be implemented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Trump could be a wild card on the issue, said Mary Ziegler, a law professor at the University of California, Davis who is an expert on reproductive health issues. In the final months of the campaign, he backed away from a more rigid stance on abortion — even saying he would not sign a national abortion ban if it came across his desk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although he has enjoyed firm backing from anti-abortion groups, he is willing to break with allies when he wants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think we have a clear sense from him about what he would do,” Ziegler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writer Lindsay Whitehurst contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Since 2008, The Moth podcast has featured many of our favorite stories told live on Moth stages around the country. For information on all of our programs and live events, visit themoth.org.",
