Following Donald Trump’s recent presidential win, some US women have sparked the controversial ‘MATGA’ movement—‘Make Aqua Tofana Great Again’—inspired by a 17th-century poisoner Giulia Tofana, who sold poisons to women wishing to escape abusive marriages. Viral videos on platforms like X and TikTok show women promoting poison rings and discussing fictional revenge scenarios, purportedly in response to fears of restricted reproductive rights under Trump’s presidency. Critics warn against the MATGA movement’s legal and ethical implications, urging caution and common sense. The movement has sparked heated debate, with some labeling it a symbolic protest against perceived gendered oppression.
