Is “your body, my choice” something people are actually saying in all seriousness?
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
Some weirdo said it in a place none of us ever go?
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?
“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.
Back when the COVID vaccine was new it was reasonably common to hear my body my choice in this context
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.
No.
Unfortunately 46% of women voted Trump. So I guess they like this?
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.
Religious Fundamentalist women have a tougher mental barrier to get through than most. For the Christian fundies I grew up with, women 1] are literally created FOR men (1 Corinthians 11:9), 2] have been deemed by God as incapable of governing themselves, so they must be ruled by their husbands (Genesis 3:16), and 3] must vow to Obey their husbands as they would God Himself.
Like Jovial’s story about the miscarriage. The bible decrees that if women have trouble with a pregnancy, it’s because they’re not trusting and faithful enough (1 Timothy 2:15), so if she is a fundie, she likely thinks her lifesaving abortion was a result her failure to believe enough. Her God literally says that if she had died back then, then she brought it on herself. It’s all inculcated woman-hating victim-blaming Family Values rot.
My mom is so stupid she’s a fucking hazard.
If there’s a club for that, I’m in it too.
I literally don’t understand how my mom gets through day-to-day life. It’s just a matter of time before her bank accounts are drained by a scammer because no matter how many times I try to explain it to her, she believes everything she sees online as long as it reinforces something she already believes. If it challenges her beliefs she ignores it.
She got an email that said she owed money to an internet service provider she doesn’t use, and hasn’t ever used. Obvious scam, right? She knows she doesn’t use them, but the email seemed “Truthy” so she was really worried that she owed them money. There’s no way to convince her that it’s a scam because even facts like “that’s not your ISP, you don’t and have never used that ISP” can’t penetrate.
She trusts memes more than family members who have degrees in something and are willing to patiently explain it to her. She spends a lot of money buying snake oil, or overpaying for things she can get essentially for free (i.e. buying bottled water because she’s afraid of fluorine in municipal water). This has made me realize what a huge amount of the world’s economy isn’t people buying things they need, or even things they want because it makes their lives better, it’s people buying things they don’t need because they’re afraid of something that isn’t real.
Anyhow, yeah, Trump won the idiot vote, and he’s going to make changes to the US that will increase the number of idiots. Things are going great.
I’m sorry you also have a mom like that. But, props to us for surviving being raised by incompetent people!
And I really agree on Trump winning the stupid vote. This wasn’t so much an election of genders as it was an election of anti-intellectualism vs the educated. Only uneducated, willfully stupid people vote for a literal rapist.
People tend to prioritize the comfort of those closest to them over anyone else, themselves most of all. Expressing different political views could cause problems in their families or communities so they’ll keep quiet and just go about their lives thinking it’s not going to affect them. Better to risk the lives of strangers, or even nieces, than risk losing their marriage. It’s why “First they came for…” is so powerful - we can see ourselves in it.
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.
Well I think dem women not showing up to defend their bodily autonomy via the first woman president is as much or more damning than voting for Trump.
That shows how abuse makes you support the abuser. Like a violent relationship.
Everyone is retarded and the capital class owns all the large media outlets and the capital class are the major political donors and the capital class likes Republicans because they can make more money when they are in charge. This election was an uphill battle to begin with. Dunking on women is not going to be productive.
I’ll just wish them all a happy ectopic pregnancy.
I know at least 2 women who are Republican. Who say Trump is great. I get told by 1 of them, that I can’t have a view on U.S. politics because I am Canadian. Well, he affects Canada the most, and it is called geopolitics.
Preaching to the choir. The people who need to see this never will.
And even if they did, I don’t think they would understand all the words.
I thought “Your body my choice” was sarcastic satire. Is it really a thing they’re actually saying?
Believe it’s from the neo nazi nick fuentes
Whose address just got doxxed:

Of course. From now on I’ll only link screenshots of tweets. I’m already downloading videos from there. Thanks for the hint.
no one is saying this, are they?
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.

The phrase “your body, my choice” appears to have made its way offline, specifically into schools. Young girls and parents have used social media to share instances of offline harassment. They include the phrase being directed at them within schools or chanted by young boys in classes.
On Facebook, the phrase “your body, my choice” is currently trending, with 52,000 posts in the last 24 hours. One parent stated: “Today my daughter was told three separate times on campus ‘your body, MY choice.’ The third group of boys told her to ‘sleep with one eye open tonight.’”
Sounds like incels in larval form. Sad.

I’ve got no doubt a handful of trolls have been saying it, but nobody who holds any real power.
Just a group of people lying to themselves about why nobody likes or supports them.
Why are you insisting so hard on this not being really a thing? As if ignoring this kind of stuff EVER lead to any kind of improvement oO
Except this isn’t how it would go because he would talk over her after the first 3 words.
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.
Now do the version of this comic that calls out all the women that voted to take that choice away from themselves and others.
This is my favourite response to this “your body my choice” thing: https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff/113445007601304089
What does that phrase even mean
It’s a reverse of “my body, my choice” (as in "I do whatever I want with my body, including abortions etc.) that is meant to demonstrate the position of right-wingers who want to take that away.
I don’t think any of right-wingers themselves used that kind of phrasing. But I can be wrong.
Friendly reminder women in certain muslim countries cant live on their own, they need a “guardian” (MALE OWNER) 😂…

Nick Fuentes, for one. He seems pretty proud of it judging by his Twitter.

But responding with ridicule is weak, too. That shit needs direct force. If someone tries to apply that to you, you apply it right back, with a gun.
So far the only people I have seen are open neonazis, so I don’t take their words very seriously.
