I thought “Your body my choice” was sarcastic satire. Is it really a thing they’re actually saying?
Yup
Holy shit, I didn’t really vibe with the comic, as it seemed to me like she was rebutting to what she heard when someone says they’re pro life, not something that anyone would actually say. We’re actually living in a parody of reality.
Is “your body, my choice” something people are actually saying in all seriousness?
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 use ever go? That’s pretty thin.
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?
You haven’t seen something that’s only been trending for 5 days? Shocker.
Do you spend a lot of time around highschool boys and edge lords? That’s how you’d come across it.
Yeah but these edgelords and high school boys eventually become adults, and perpetuate the same behavior, continuing the circle of hate and bigotry.
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.
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.
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.
Lmao these guys minmaxing not getting laid
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.
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
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?
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
Back when the COVID vaccine was new it was reasonably common to hear my body my choice in this context
“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.
No.
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.
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.
Im not a native English speaker and I thought “lost my legs” was an idome of some sort, especially because you wrote it in the same sentence as beeing a single father.
But no. You lost your legs. Litarly.
In regards to the rest of your post, absolutely 100 % on your side. I met my wife 2 years ago and it is the most beautiful relationship I ever had, mainly because we treat each other with the same amount of respect.
no one is saying this, are they?
Content warning: This article contains offensive and obscene language.
Jesus McFucking Christ. We’re all cooked, all around the world.
Yes, people are saying this.
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.

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.
Sad for observers, absolutely terrifying for potential victims.
It’s fascists. They’ve been actively recruiting boys on social media for a while and promoting extreme misogyny. The goal is to create an environment in which women can be forced against our will to be their wives. They’re recruiting them for the Christian version of Iran

Now do the version of this comic that calls out all the women that voted to take that choice away from themselves and others.
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.
Except this isn’t how it would go because he would talk over her after the first 3 words.
Ok. So on the one hand, people want to tell women they’re forced to have babies.
On the other hand people want to tell that first hand to fuck off.
So I have a solution. If they want to force women to have a baby, then that woman gets to choose if a man who voted against abortion gets his testicles forcibly chopped off.
It’s not a win/win, it’s more like a lose/lose. But we haven’t had any nukes dropped since the MAD doctrine went into effect.
So, if a woman wants to have an abortion, they’ll call a man who voted against abortion. If he still says no, the woman has to have the baby, and the mans testles are copped off. Not even like a seditive, and sterile process. They instead take the man to the woman as she’s giving birth, and she’s given a meat cleaver. His balls are presented on a cutting board, and as she’s in as much pain as childbirth brings, that’s when she’s allowed free reign to chop, and stab, and go nuts on his nuts.
Or he could just say “let her have an abortion”, and avoid the whole scene.
It’s not a win/win, but it’s an even trade.
Your mistake here is you’re assuming they want to give women an opportunity for even trade
…stop being right. I hadn’t considered that these are the same people who don’t mind being a hypocrite.
Chopped off? Ew.
Smash them with a fucking sledgehammer instead. Make it fucking painful.
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.
This is my favourite response to this “your body my choice” thing: https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff/113445007601304089
I hate my gender so fucking much. I don’t even agree with that sentiment. But I feel like that attitude it’s just a part of me because of my gender.
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.
Well, I guess if they couldn’t fuck with you in one way, they can fuck with you in another…
