A new report from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) has found that digital hate and harassment against women rose rapidly after the U.S. presidential election. Sexist phrases like “repeal the 19th [Amendment]” and “get back to the kitchen” surged on platforms like X, TikTok, Facebook, and Reddit following President Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. Many of the most frequent comments involve calls for a decrease in women’s rights, while others have explicitly threatened women with sexual assault and harassment. Mentions of the statement “Your body, my choice”—a direct response to the reproductive justice movement’s slogan, “my body, my choice”—grew by over 4600 percent on X. The phrase also appears to have grown in popularity offline, with parents and students reporting groups of boys chanting it to girls in schools. One parent commented online, “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.’”
My daughters have to live in this shit hole now. I am both angry and sad that it appears we are moving backwards.
I will fucking end someone if I hear them say this or anything like it to my daughter.
I never understood since women could vote that there isn’t a woman’s political party or movement.
Because the first-past-the-post system makes it very unlikely for more parties to emerge.
There isn’t a workers’ party, either. The US is one of the few industrialized nations that doesn’t have one.
Because our democracy is stale
Th 4B movement isn’t a political statement. At this point, it’s simply self-defense.
We have reached a great filter for society. If you are a woman and care about your rights you just need to know how a man voted to determine their value. You gotta dump if they voted for Trump.
I legitimately know a woman who’s divorcing her husband, finding out he was a Trump supporter was the final straw. They’ve been in a rough spot for the last year or so, he doesn’t cook/clean at all.
She was going to leave him a year ago but tried to make it work, finding out he was a secret Trumper sealed the deal for her.
Make it self-defencier and get a concealed carry license. Your body my choice is a rape threat.
“Your dick, my knife”
Your rectum, my steel toe. Your eye socket, my bat… My choices for their bodies are endless!
That already happened to like 90% of us thanks to the same cultists.
Oh, then these misogynists need to watch their words and actions lest they lose even more. Eunuchs can’t forcibly impregnate anyone.
(For clarification I am very anti infant circumcision, everyone’s body their own choices)
Dude. I think circumcision is barbaric too, but there’s a fucking time.
the time is now old man
I’ve started getting cat called at night while walking my dog. I live in a red area and I dress crappy and I’m middle aged. Today I decided to change my walking schedule and location.
I really, REALLY hope i hear someone say this around me. I’m still trying to decide what choices i will unleash on their body…
“your face, my fist”

They include the phrase being directed at them within schools or chanted by young boys in classes.
Young boys are following the misogynist Pied Piper and all the parents are just letting it happen. FFS
Now let’s all make sure it won’t escalate to the point of current South Korea
Edit: I have no idea how did my autocorrect change of to I’d

Can you give a tl:dr?
This is a continuation of hype trying to stir up more anger. Please don’t buy into this BS. Practically/virtually no one believes the phrase “your body, my choice.” I’d say probably 0.0001 of the population actually believe that that crap.
Although, there are plenty of assholes who will parrot that phrase as satire just to get a rise out of people. Probably 0.01.
You probably won’t ever get a chance to react to someone in person saying, “Your body, my choice.”
Let’s not give this group of haters a louder voice than they deserve, and let’s focus on important things like love and tolerance.

In the words of Kurt Vonnegut: we are what we pretend to be.
There are actual statistics in this article, unlike these which I think you made up.
You sound like those people saying that COVID was no big deal because “more people die in auto accidents”. How many people have to be affected before you deem it newsworthy?
Did you read the article?
I am asking genuinely.
a lack of an answer tells me one of two things.
- they have not read it
- they cannot read
judging on their response (or lack therof), I’m going to guess they can’t read.
Practically/virtually no one believes the phrase “your body, my choice.”
It is “practically/virtually” the ideology of pro-rape right-wingers everywhere. Why the fuck do you think they spent so much effort to crush abortion rights?
How prevalent the use of the exact phrase ‘Your body, my choice’ is irrelevant when the intent behind it is so common in other espoused rhetoric. The fact is that too fucking many people are happy to tear up a woman’s right to self determination and force women into situations that put their lives at risk. I don’t think we can ignore any rhetoric that supports or gives cover to such attacks on a woman’s autonomy.
At this point I would not be surprised if we started seeing feminist groups becoming armed and violent. And as much as I have a disdain for political violence, I don’t think I could condemn them for doing so.

This is crazy… misguided, hypocritical, extreme, and unsafe. Etc.

Just like back alley abortions. Both easily avoided by respecting the bodily and reproductive autonomy of women.
