Is "your body, my choice" something people are actually saying in all seriousness?

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago

Sadly...

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.

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

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago

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.

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.

That's really the issue right? These people don't think.

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.

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.

Back when the COVID vaccine was new it was reasonably common to hear my body my choice in this context
