no one is saying this, are they?

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Those who hold power have already said it with their abortion bans with no exemptions in case of rape.

Nobody has been using it as a slogan, genius.

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.’”

So, a handful of little shits at a school, use it, and it's official?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 months ago

Is a 52k trending post not sufficient to qualify as a slogan? That's more pull than most marketing campaigns actually achieve.

If anything, little (and not so little, the incidents are being reported on campus) shits using it is worse, because it's a pretty good reflection of where the next generation is headed.

Why is it so important to you to be right about this?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago

Actions speak louder. But at least it's not overt marketing yet.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Supposedly it was coined by some right wing influencer and went viral

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So it started with someone saying it seriously? Ick.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I assume it's ultimately serious (they want to drop the pretense that it's about the value of the life of a fetus) but a use of irony poisoning on some level. Some real zero self awareness assholes regardless.

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
