Unfortunately yes. This past Wednesday a friend was at a coffee shop and a dude in his 40s walked up to her out of the blue and told her “your body, my choice” and she’s like “I have a gun in my purse” (that might have actually been true, I didn’t think to ask).
It happened to a friend of mine this week, in person. I do feel like it was to antagonize, but it was a real thing a stranger said to another stranger.
They are too cowardly abd scared to do it in person. There was just an issue this last week where middle and high school students got anonymous text messages saying “Your body, my choice”.
Nick Fuentes, the white nationalist podcaster known for his long history of antisemitic and misogynistic remarks, wrote on X/Twitter as Trump’s victory emerged: “Your body, my choice. Forever.”
The phrase has gained fast popularity on TikTok, where numerous women have been told their bodies no longer belong to them following the presidential election result.
Yeah, this obscure quote from an obscure person seems more like a good tool being used by the left to try and paint all of the right as sharing a similar perspective.
It’s not that you share a similar perspective. It’s that you’re on the same side as this asshole (and the Russians, and the KKK, etc) and aren’t questioning why.
We know that not all of you are like this. But the problem is that some of you are, and you seem to be okay with it.
You’ll note that you didn’t denounce this person, and only clutched your pearls and blamed the left.
“My body, my choice” was the original slogan, in the context of preventing childbirth.
Then there came vaccine mandates. People who preferred not to get vaccinated also used the slogan “my body, my choice”. When the mandates continued, it moved to “my body, your choice”.
Now we’ve reached 360, with “your body, my choice”. It’s very rare though.
Unfortunately yes. I doubt most of those saying it really think about the ramifications of such a despicable phrase. But some know damn well it’s an incentive to rape and yet keep saying it. Those people need to be watched closely. Anyway, it’s a sign of how deranged our nation has become.
Nazis do this “you think that was a shitty thing to say? Hold my beer, I’ll show you a shitty thing to say!” thing.
Like a “who can tell the most fucked up joke” contest, but minus the fun. And minus the joking. And sometimes they turn into plans, which is real bad.
They want to be a super cool badass villain who’s meanness is just awesomeness that you can’t handle because you’re not a big enough dick (or “awesome enough”). It’s nothing more small dick energy on crack. The harder they do it, the more those with eyes to see just see a snivelling, whiny little boy. The bigger they puff, the smaller they look.
It can still get people killed, just not in a “because they’re so cool” kind of way.
Is “your body, my choice” something people are actually saying in all seriousness?

What kind of world do we live in
Online? Yes.
In person to friends while chest bumping and hooting? Yes.
In person to a woman they don’t know in all seriousness, and not just to antagonize? I sure hope not.

Gutless asshats.
Sadly…
I have never seen anybody use that phrase in seriousness. Some weirdo said it in a place none of us ever go? That’s pretty thin.
You haven’t seen something that’s only been trending for 5 days? Shocker.
Might want to Google Fuentes. He’s a depressingly influential right wing figure.
Also Twitter continues to be one of the latest social media companies in the world.
And yet I have never read any of his stuff. Not a thing. So whatever.
Lol, this is the internet equivalent of a toddler thinking if they can’t see you, they are hidden.
“i closed my eyes so the problem doesn’t exist teehee”
What?
Do you spend a lot of time around highschool boys and edge lords? That’s how you’d come across it.
Yeah but these edgelords and high school boys eventually become adults, and perpetuate the same behavior, continuing the circle of hate and bigotry.

You’ll note that you didn’t denounce him either.
“this asshole”
Oh look, your statement was false.
Pretty sure a school yard insult doesn’t constitute a denouncement. Or perhaps you actually mean virtue signal.
Bad troll, go back under the bridge.
Blocked, bad faith argument, pedant

I once heard a liberal say that he likes to eat babies. So liberals are monsters.
Does the baby eater have 400,000 followers?
Lmao these guys minmaxing not getting laid

The stupid ones are. Why make an effort to woo a woman when you can be a fucking rapist.

That’s really the issue right? These people don’t think.
Who? Where? Link us up?
You are reaching far for your outrage. Did you run out of it at home?

This whole cycle has been nothing but dudes who are not secure in themselves showing it off wildly. Come to think of it, the last decade.
Fuck dudes are really screwed up right now. And I’m saying that as one of them. Guys, it’s okay to just be chill
Nick funtes came up with it to make fun of people who were saying my body my choice. Its essentially trolling.
At the center of the joke is men celebrating that they get to decide what’s allowed with a woman’s body, just like it had been in the past.
Some dumb kids are using the line out of context and it makes it sounds like they want to rape people, so the news made a story of it.
This is not trolling it is a rape threat. You’re a fucking idiot apologist.
Nick Fuentes is a gigantic troll.
Back when the COVID vaccine was new it was reasonably common to hear my body my choice in this context
No.
