‘Your body, my choice’: what misogynistic Trump supporters feel about sexual power | Moira Donegan

Summary

The Trump campaign’s misogyny, including its support for forced sex and forced pregnancy, was a significant factor in his victory.

His campaign openly promoted a “hierarchical gender order,” attracting voters who endorse his history of degrading women, his role in overturning Roe v. Wade, and his rhetoric of male dominance.

Far-right figures like Nick Fuentes popularized the slogan “Your body, my choice,” which reflects a taunting reversal of pro-choice language, symbolizing both anti-abortion sentiments and threats of sexual violence.

The phrase has spread online and in schools, highlighting the MAGA movement’s shift from puritanical to aggressive, sexually domineering politics aimed at subjugating women.
