It is pathetic. I lost my damn legs as a single father in my mid 30s. I was worried I would no longer be able to successfully date at all. I dated just fine and eventually met my wife. Turns out that treating women as fully independent human people worthy of the same respect I wanted goes a long way. If you're an alt right chud who can't get laid, it's not your looks. Take it from a half man; It's who you are and how you see women.

At least your dating profile doesn't falsely say you're 6 feet tall.

Unless it does and you use it as a setup to a joke about losing two feet. In which case, good on you sir.

[-] Bobmighty@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Oddly enough, on official paperwork that asks for height, I have to put what I used to be. That was 6'1. Hasn't been true for a decade, but when I question it, I get a shoulder shrug in response. My dating profile clearly stated how I'm disabled. My ID says I'm 6'1. That's bureaucracy for you.

Of all the women I know who date men I can’t think of a single one I would enjoy spending time with that would prefer dating a misogynist over an amputee single father. And that includes hikers and women who don’t want kids. Hell I’m pretty sure some friends of mine would be impressed by a guy managing to raise a kid without legs or a partner.

I thought "Your body my choice" was sarcastic satire. Is it really a thing they're actually saying?

[-] ReCursing@lemmings.world 26 points 4 days ago

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

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 20 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.

[-] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

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

Unfortunately 46% of women voted Trump. So I guess they like this?

[-] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 57 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

My mom was one of those women who voted for Trump. And you know what? She's a moron. She literally doesn't pay any attention to politics and just votes for whoever my dad votes for. My dad votes for whoever is running republican. Ugh.

The thing is, my mom had a septic miscarriage between me and older sibling. She had a dnc to remove to the rotting fetus because she was going to die. One of the last conversations we had I tried to explain to her that she'd be dead today if the laws in red states were in place back then. She ignored me. Literally just stopped talking and ended the conversation.

My mom is so stupid she's a fucking hazard.

I'm estranged from my family, have been for years. But I'd like to guess a good chunk of the women who voted for trump are like my mom. Braindead. The other chunk actively like trump and are openly nazis. The brain dead ones are too stupid to notice they're wearing nazi uniforms.

But I guess that's an accurate description of people who voted for trump in general. Stupidity doesn't care what gender you are, it still makes you dumb as fuck.

I know a few hardcore Christian women who voted for Trump. Anti-choice is a hell of a drug.

Unfortunately 46% of women voted Trump.

58% of white women specifically, although Trump improved almost across the board from his 2020 performance.

I wouldn't be fooled by percentages, though. A huge part of this shift was Dem turnout degradation. She saw a historic sag in turnout from Biden peak.

It's not that women or Latino men or GenX or whatever preferenced Trump so much as the younger voters gave up on a Dem party that had given up on them.

That shows how abuse makes you support the abuser. Like a violent relationship.

Preaching to the choir. The people who need to see this never will.

Jesus McFucking Christ. We're all cooked, all around the world.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 37 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Yes, people are saying this. Search any major social media site. Or Google the phrase for any number of articles about the rise of this and other similar sentiments online and irl.

[-] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 4 days ago

It's a third post about that I'm seeing today. I guess another trend is coming.

[-] boomzilla@programming.dev 12 points 4 days ago

Fediverse is hardly keeping up. It's already a trend. That's why I'm still on X (and I hate to do that), where all of it is shown in realtime. There are already elementary school boys spouting that stuff to their female classmates. Read a tweet from a teacher who cheered a girl that snapped and knocked a boy out after he said it.

Now do the version of this comic that calls out all the women that voted to take that choice away from themselves and others.

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 22 points 4 days ago

I have heard people say that good times create weak men, and looking at how the alt right have risen and how much "alpha males" are concerned about their masculinity, I would have to say that we have had some great times.

Also, I would never consider myself an alpha male, that is far too unstable, at best I am probably a decent release candidate, good enough to be sent to production, but needing a few patches to get a few bugs worked out.

[-] greedytacothief@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Does stability reflect it's likelihood to crash, or it's frequency of updates in this analogy.

Also is the pickup line "I got a rolling release personally" good?

Except this isn't how it would go because he would talk over her after the first 3 words.

[-] Wardacus16@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

This is my favourite response to this "your body my choice" thing: https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff/113445007601304089

[-] masquenox@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

It's easy to laugh at the right-wingers, but the truth is that this is the way power is measured by the patriarchy - control over other people's bodies.

It doesn't matter if this power is obtained through the use of laws, money or physical violence (it's usually a combination of all three) - it's the power that matters, and the patriarchy doesn't care how it makes you look to the people you have that power over.
