My friend is a teacher. He has heard kids say your body my choice.

I really hope schools are taking a zero tolerance policy with this. Kids need to learn that shit is absolutely not ok.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 days ago

I would hope that schools sit down with kids that say this and discuss what the statement means, how it is interpreted, and ask the kid to put himself in the other person’s shoes. Not a big fan of punishing kids harshly for things they may well have copied from their parents.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Hate to say this but schools are heavily influenced by the shitty parents of said kids.

There was an older comic, lemme pull it up:

Sorry for the 9gag quality, but I'm sure it gets the point across.

They’re all getting fed this trash by Nick Fuentes, 4chan trolls, Elon musk, Andrew Tate, Matt Walsh, Jordan Peterson, YouTube algorithms which push right wing content, and the list goes on.

What sort of degenerate would say that in anything but satire? I mean, I’ve both heard and read it recently, but what do we call them?

Congrats small business owner, the tariffs you voted for are more likely to shut you down then hold you up.

Good to see even in that hellscape people are responding appropriately (top comments).

It's pages and pages of OP getting blasted.

Can you link the thread? Reddit search is still terrible.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I'm pretty sure this is it. It looks like mods straight-up razed the thread. There are comments remaining, but only after you scroll past the sea of deleted content.

I found one commenter that made a really interesting observation:

I think you and your sister have different definitions of what love means. You think love means you put up with bad behavior from your loved ones and she thinks love means you don’t behave badly towards your loved ones.

Holy shit... "How do I get through to her that she's overreacting?" No, if you think she's overreacting then you 100% deserve what you got.

I struggle to see what could be construed as a joke here

Edit: I think I get it. They think the joke is 'imagine if I was so awful!' . The problem is though, they voted for that exact action to occur in the world.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 days ago

"heated arguent"
"as a joke"

🤔

Wow, I'd disown that cunt sister and her rapist husband too. What shitrags.

Conservatives. That’s what they call themselves.

All the misogynistic, racist, homophobic pieces of shit in the world call themselves conservatives. Therefore that is what conservative now means.

Wait a minute… so are there scumbags who actually go around saying “your body, my choice”? Ew. Gross.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 6 days ago

Yes, it's all over the news, sadly.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

It's gross indeed, I've just never seen anyone say it online or in person, yet.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago (2 children)

The election emboldened some very shitty people to go mask off.

This is not correct. Do not do this.

"Your body, my choice" does not rise to the level of an imminent threat of violence or lawless behavior. It's certainly not "fighting words" as defined by SCOTUS. Without an immediate threat of violence, you do not have a legal right to use physical force. Even in states with 'make my day' laws, this is absolutely not something you can respond to with violence.

I am not an attorney, I am not your attorney, and I would strongly suggest that you consult with a competent criminal defense attorney before you take this course of action.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Wait are you saying that crimes have consequences? I thought that wasn't actually true anymore from what I have seen going on lately.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 days ago

They do for us, silly.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 days ago (2 children)

The law needs to catch up. MAGAs have been doing this for a while. Where they say absolute heinous stuff, under the gaze of "freedom of speech and expression" until it becomes accepted enough for some other asshole to be emboldened enough to try and get away with it or even get passed as law! A tactic loved by fascists around the globe. It works similarly to a false prophecy.

MAGAs can't rape women? They'll make it clear that women will have their rights revoked into the future so they better "get used to it" starting now. MAGAs can't kill women? They'll just take life critical healthcare away. With this combination it's not only EVEN MORE LIKELY than usual someone will get away with rape, but that it'll result in the woman's death!

"Your body, my choice" should be seen as a death threat and should be dealt with accordingly. Any kids saying this should be made vividly aware of just how fucking monstrous those words are, and should face detention or even the threat of expulsion if they refuse to stop it. This is not a light matter. We're talking about rasing rapist here!

But Americans sure don't seem to agree, they still see school shootings as a "whatever, put in more police officers" to shoot at the kids with guns kind of issue, so what do I know? I guess raping and shooting up kids is what America desires and I'm the weird foreigner brining in my weird values.

As a guy, I'd acquit if I went on a jury for a case like this. It only take one to hang, and they don't have the resource to keep trying forever.

People are confusing moral and legal rights.

Women absolutely have the moral right to nut-knee someone who says that to them. I wouldn't stop them or testify against them.

People generally don't have the legal right to do that. If someone tries that and gets sued, it will be up to them to prove that there was an imminent credible threat. If the guy is still alive, they'll be able to claim that YBMC is just a joke and it would be up to the victim to prove that it wasn't.

That went from protecting religious values to abusing people real fucking quick right? It was never about that.

i would start carrying tasers, ladies

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 days ago

I'd start carrying a gun.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago

There is nothing wrong with responsible gun ownership. A handgun was specifically created to be easily carried.

I’m fond of the Walther PDP, but you do you.

Always research state and local laws first. This includes what could happen to you should you use it in your house vs not in your house and so on.

You know, I wrote it kind as a flippant comment, not expecting anyone to pay attention (because, really, who pays attention to me?) and suddenly it's all over the place.

Anyway, I already responded to a lot of people who commented on the original post. I eventually had to mute it due to too much traffic. So if you want to see more, go look at what people were telling me over there. I don't disagree with most of it, and I think having a good discussion on the subject of this is probably a good thing.
