A barrage of misogynistic comments have permeated social media since Donald Trump became the president-elect last week, according to research from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a London-based think tank.
Your body, my choice a phrase popularized by white nationalist Nick Fuentes became the reigning chant among men on the far right who commented on womens posts across social media, especially those who expressed sorrow at the election results, the report found.
The phrase a retaliatory play on my body, my choice, which for decades has been a rallying cry for advocates of reproductive rights surged shortly after Fuentes posted on X on Election Day: Your body, my choice. Forever.
The phrase was mentioned thousands of times per day on various social platforms in the week after the election, peaking at more than 12,000 mentions Friday, according to the report, which was published Friday. The Institute for Strategic Dialogue found a 4,600% increase in mentions of the terms your body, my choice and get back in the kitchen on X in a 24-hour period late last week, the report said.

(66,552 posts)bring the 4B movement to those who believe this swill. Fuentes is a POS. He's disgusting. Women learn self defense and walk in groups.
Women (or men) should arrange for Fuentes to have a new nickname, "Dickless Nick" would be perfect.

(66,552 posts)protection, do what you have to do. These fucking misogynistic white men who are so threatened by women going after women. Hmm.... just wait, women will cut you off. It's certainly not an honorable trait. And Nick Fuentes is no man.

(13 posts)Fastest way to shut a religious, anti-abortion, individuals mouth, is to make them pay for all the children they want others to have and raise. Have a special box on our tax form, that if checked, the taxpayer must pay into a fund an amount, say $6500 a year to help support all the kids that women must carry to term.
Whenever an issue affects someone else. Its too easy to make demands upon others, when the cost(s) doesnt directly hit them. Make them all pay for their moralistic virtues.
