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.
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.
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.

"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.
Lmao these guys minmaxing not getting laid
The stupid ones are. Why make an effort to woo a woman when you can be a fucking rapist.

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.

I thought "Your body my choice" was sarcastic satire. Is it really a thing they're actually saying?
Yup

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.
Except this isn't how it would go because he would talk over her after the first 3 words.
