Gendered Sonic Violence, from the Waiting Room to the Locker Room
REBECCA LENTJES
Revisiting this essay, originally written in October 2016, has been a jarring reminder of the United States' rapid descent from a landscape where reproductive health care was legal, but often inaccessible, into one where roughly 30 percent of women ages fifteen through forty-nine live in states where abortion is banned. The aftermath of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization demonstrates how Donald Trumps sonic Patriarchy, emblematic of the far right's utter disdain for women, was ominous (yet glaring) foreshadowing for the changes Trump's admin istration has wrought in the years since. Despite the insistent alarm bells-frequently dismissed as "shrill" overreactions-sounded by reproductive rights scholars and activists such as myself, Trump's election was a catalyst for sweeping attacks on bodily autonomy that have contributed to our current conditions of reproductive oppression.
In August 2016, amid the pandemonium surrounding Donald Trump's first presidential campaign, professional "pick-up artist" Dan Bacon caused a stir with his article "How to Talk to a Woman Who Is Wearing Headphones." Bacon's site, The Modern Man, pledges to "make [a woman] want to have sex with you ASAP." Bacon offers step-by-step
"instructions" for pick-up artists to overcome the obstacle of being rendered inaudible by the music a woman might be listening to:](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yuc454xsuy2vjlnga7ckerw5/bafkreibjb5lk75lwnkzjph6dhhyuootcanlhuvntno4z74utey3zyp6omq)
