Summary
Donald Trump’s re-election has fueled a surge in misogynistic, homophobic, and racist rhetoric among young men, reportedly emboldened by the president-elect’s history of inflammatory remarks about women.
In schools, boys have been caught using phrases like “your body, my choice” against female peers, prompting districts like Minnesota’s Hopkins Public Schools to issue warnings to parents about harassment.
The impact extends beyond schools, with activists on Texas State University’s campus displaying signs asserting that “women are property.”
This hostile climate has left many women feeling unsafe as a new far-right administration takes power.
The proper response to “your body, my choice” is “your nuts, my knee.”
The correct response is “If I’m going to jail because abortion is murder, I may as well kill my rapist”
Yes, but that’s far less pithy.
Also ignores the power dynamic at play. The boy while complain to his Trump-loving teacher and the teacher will call the principal and the principal will call the police and the police will come and arrest the child and then take her to jail where other cops will rape her.
And if you talk about the epidemic of child abuse in police custody or the long history of sexual violence by cops, you’re hurting the Democrats in the next election.
just tell them to remember Lorena
We’re talking kids threatening other kids here. Lorena Bobbitt will mean nothing to them. A knee to the nuts, on the other hand…
well it might give them something to ask about from their parents and spread it around in so doing. but yeah a knee is a good idea in the moment
When dealing with an active threat, a response that the assailant can ignore afterwards is a useless response.
I’m teaching my daughter the same lesson I was taught. You never start a fight but you sure do end it.
