Aussie influencer reveals harrowing abuse she has received from male trolls after the shock US election win of Donald Trump
Social media star Karina Irby shocked her fans on Friday by revealing the harrowing abuse she had received from male trolls in the aftermath of the US election.
The body-positive influencer, 34, shared screenshots to Instagram showing some of the disgusting messages she received following Republican Donald Trump’s victory over Democrat nominee Kamala Harris.
One shocking message from a troll read, ‘The men are back in charge now, w**re. Your body OUR RULES. Now be a polite woman and go make me a sandwich.’
Another message said, ‘Men will save the world while stupid women like you destroy it with your abortions and menstrual cycle. F**K YOU.’
Meanwhile, a third message attacked child-free women, saying, ‘You say you don’t want kids? Well, don’t fall pregnant because Australia is about to learn the right way from us.’
Karina did not hold back in the comments section and took a firm stand against these sexist and outdated views.
‘For people wondering how the US Election impacts other women not in America. Here’s a little taste of my DMs,’ Karina began.
‘The projection and pure anger in some people makes my blood boil. What does a woman’s reproductive choices and organs have to do with you?’

Karina expressed her belief that Donald Trump’s landslide victory has empowered hate-filled individuals to openly share their views.
‘The sexist mindset and foul language used by some of these people shows only a peek into the world of being a woman and coping this type of abuse,’ she added.
‘IT’S SCARY BEING A WOMAN. And it’s 2024!? Not all Trump supporters are abusive, sexist pigs. But all abusive, sexist pigs are Trump supporters.’
