Nick Fuentes, an Actual Nazi and erstwhile dining companion of our president-elect (LOLOLOLOLVOMIT) Donald Trump, posted what may have been his most popular rallying cry yet: “Your Body, My Choice. Forever.” That dude doesn’t even want to fuck women, he says fucking women is gay. He just wants to outlaw us not wanting to fuck him. Or something. I’m not entirely concerned with what he wants. But it’s not just him, actually, though he’s probably making a killing selling his little Nazi hats right now. It’s a fucking mass superspreader event.
From Institute for Strategic Dialogue:
On TikTok, female users are reporting that accounts are commenting “your body, my choice” en masse on their posts. One TikTok creator stated: “I had to delete a video because I was being threatened and several men commenting [sic] saying they couldn’t wait until I get raped or ‘your body my choice.’” Another stated: “I woke up this morning to men commenting ‘your body, my choice.’ In a TikTok forum on Reddit, a user posted: “Last night I reported one of the many comments I’ve seen saying ‘Your body, my choice.’ The comment has been left up and the report has been marked as not a violation. How? HOW THE FUCK is that not a violation?”
There’s more, of course, at the link. And Teen Vogue is watching too. Here’s some of what they quote Andrew Tate — with millions of little boy followers thinking he’s the tits — as saying:
“I saw a woman crossing the road today but I just kept my foot down. Right of way? You no longer have rights,” he wrote in one post. “The men are back in charge,” he said in another. And in a repost of a woman saying she’s “asking for a President who isn’t a rapist,” Tate wrote “REQUEST DENIED.”
It’s not just online threats. Anecdotes from social media like this one are terrifying:
I've now had two different friends with high school aged daughters who've been subjected to shitty teenage boys telling them “your body, my choice.” And to say I'm incandescently angry is an understatement. Guys, you shut that shit down if you hear it. This one is your work.
In the meantime, Black people all over the country are getting personalized texts, with their names on them, telling them to report for their enslavement in camps picking cotton. The texts are going to children as young as middle school — again, with the Black children’s names attached. They know the children’s names.
Incandescent with rage almost covers it … but I am scared. It worked. While Donna Rose gallumphed her nine-year-old body into the bathtub last night, I told her about the “Your body, my choice” meme, and that there were some boys who would think it was funny and great, and if they said it to her, to punch them in the face. She was not scared; she was PISSED OFF. But what the fuck good is that? How is a nine-year-old girl child supposed to be in charge of protecting herself?
I don’t have great ideas, I’m as lost as all of us right now. I see you in the comments talking about getting guns, and I’m not even going to tell you no. But man, look at all the new Trump voters, like these in the Bronx, who think Trump is going to fix crime (at 50-year lows) and immigration (many of them are immigrants but they’re sure he doesn’t mean them) and the economy (just wait until we no longer are pouring money into the cities!). Do they have any idea what that Trump vote meant for our daughters and our kids? Do they know it meant a blank check to try to force girls back into silence, back into the home, through rape and physical threat, like the literal Taliban? That boys are delighted to have a rapist as president because it means they can too? Do they think racial terrorism won’t mean them? IS THAT ALL TOTALLY LEGAL AND TOTALLY COOL?
I’m pissed off, and I’m scared, and I’m demoralized, and I’m not going to pretend I’m not. The fact that that’s what they want isn’t going to magically make me fightier. If you’ve got a daughter, squeeze her, and tell her to come to you or a grownup at the first sign something’s fucked. If you’ve got children of color, do the same. I have nothing else to offer, except MAKE SOME FUCKING NOISE, TELL YOUR FRIENDS THIS IS HAPPENING, SHOW THE WORLD THESE NASTY NAZI PRICKS. And if your friends or family voted for that, show them too. Show them exactly what they’ve unleashed.
Maybe they’ll start to rethink a thing or two, maybe they won’t. But if you’d like, you can join me over here in the corner where they put all the hysterical cunts.
Y'all.... Goddamnitalltohell.

I'm a lurker here, not a poster. But thank you all for sharing my rage and sadness. Thank you for reminding me that I'm not the weirdo.
I'm the dad of a trans son, and he is just a wee bit out of sorts the last couple of days for some reason ( /s obvs). Last night he was on a Zoom call with several of his friends, who all think I am the Awesomest Dad Ever. Sometimes I pop my head in the room to throw some dad jokes at them, but last night I popped my head in to tell them that any of them could come to our house any time. There was a lot of"lol, whatevs, old man" but I reiterated it and my kid -- almost 21 but forever my baby -- chimed in with "He means it."
I will fight to the death to protect this bunch of brilliant, funny, silly goofs, and it is crushing my soul to see how scared they are.
OT: I am shaking, sweating, my heart is pounding and my B/P is spiking dangerously. Secondary to shortages I was told AGAIN for the third day in a row that NONE of the pharmacies covered by our insurance have the necessary medication. paul had already gone to pick it up and I just flipped. A full blown anxiety attack overwhelmed me and I was crying on the phone, falling apart talking to them. NOT at all what they're used to dealing with from me. They assurred me that I wouldn't be left with nothing again.
THEN the pharmacy called back. Apparently paul must've crawled up their ass because suddenly the pharmacist discovered that they DID have the 2mg tablets of what was ordererd and COULD request a new order from the doctor reading that I need to take TWO tablets every 5-6 hours instead of the ONE 4mg no one has.
Why in the FUCK didn't they do that originally?
At any rate, I am now sitting here taking deep breaths and trying to get my hands to stop shaking so hard. I HATE chronic pain and HATE the way I have to "live" like this, but at least maybe I'll actually be able to SLEEP for 3 or 4 hours tonight. I haven't slept in so long and I need it.
