Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

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.
Apparently they did, being emboldened by the election results:

My daughter is in high school and has reported an increase in precisely this kind of thing at her school.
"Wanna hear a joke? Women's rights...hurdeehur..."
Another anecdote to add (may as well leave it with your daughter's). Since Wednesday I've been catcalled 4 times, just out getting groceries, doing errands. I'm a woman in my late 40s in Canada who hasn't been catcalled in that specifically threatening nasty way since my early 30s. And it's ALL been from rabid-looking white guys. They've obviously been given a very clear go-ahead with Trump's win.
