Women have been harassed by men for the entire history of the planet, with the internet only making it easier for men and therefore worse for women. In all too many instances, online harassment and stalking have spilled over into the real world, with sexual assault and other physical attacks on women and others increasing exponentially in the last few years in concurrence with the rise of Donald Trump's MAGA base, as evidenced by the "Me Too" movement.
Even as women have been supported in coming forward with their stories of sexual assault, the MAGA base has become more emboldened in expressing their hate for not just women and women of color, but all non-white minorities, particularly Jewish Americans and Black men.
And now that they've been further emboldened over the last few days, there's been a rise both online and off of incidents where young white men are harassing women by saying "Your body, my choice" in a mockery of the pro-choice movement and women's rights in general.
At the forefront of this particularly misogynistic MAGA mess is former Mar-a-Lago dinner guest and neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes, who looks and acts like he's permanently in the 6th grade.
Women and women-identifying TikTok 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.’”
