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

[–] [email protected] 33 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 5 months ago

Lol, this is the internet equivalent of a toddler thinking if they can't see you, they are hidden.

You haven't seen something that's only been trending for 5 days? Shocker.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

You'll note that you didn't denounce him either.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

"this asshole"

Oh look, your statement was false.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Pretty sure a school yard insult doesn't constitute a denouncement. Or perhaps you actually mean virtue signal.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Bad troll, go back under the bridge.

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

As if the guy trying to struggle session strangers on the internet isnt a troll.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

No, bad troll!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Blocked, bad faith argument, pedant

I once heard a liberal say that he likes to eat babies. So liberals are monsters.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Does the baby eater have 400,000 followers?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Do you spend a lot of time around highschool boys and edge lords? That's how you'd come across it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah but these edgelords and high school boys eventually become adults, and perpetuate the same behavior, continuing the circle of hate and bigotry.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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".

Gutless asshats.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

Lmao these guys minmaxing not getting laid

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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.

Who? Where? Link us up?

You are reaching far for your outrage. Did you run out of it at home?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

"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.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

This is not trolling it is a rape threat. You're a fucking idiot apologist.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Nick Fuentes is a gigantic troll.
