In the days after the presidential election, Sadie Perez began carrying pepper spray with her around campus. Her mom also ordered her and her sister a self-defense kit that included keychain spikes, a hidden knife key and a personal alarm.
It’s a response to an emboldened fringe of right-wing “manosphere” influencers who have seized on Republican Donald Trump ’s presidential win to justify and amplify misogynistic derision and threats online. Many have appropriated a 1960s abortion rights rallying cry, declaring “Your body, my choice” at women online and on college campuses.
For many women, the words represent a worrying harbinger of what might lie ahead as some men perceive the election results as a rebuke of reproductive rights and women’s rights.
“The fact that I feel like I have to carry around pepper spray like this is sad,” said Perez, a 19-year-old political science student in Wisconsin. “Women want and deserve to feel safe.”
Isabelle Frances-Wright, director of technology and society at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a think tank focusing on polarization and extremism, said she had seen a “very large uptick in a number of types of misogynistic rhetoric immediately after the election,” including some “extremely violent misogyny.”
“I think many progressive women have been shocked by how quickly and aggressively this rhetoric has gained traction,” she said.
The phrase “Your body, my choice” has been largely attributed to a post on the social platform X from Nick Fuentes, a Holocaust-denying white nationalist and far-right internet personality who dined at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida two years ago. In statements responding to criticism of that event, Trump said he had “never met and knew nothing about” Fuentes before he arrived.

Maybe you should turn OFF the social media for a while? Nah, it's easier to act scared and whine about it.
Carrying pepper spray is a good idea—just not for the reasons they think.
“The fact that I feel like I have to carry around pepper spray like this is sad,” said Perez. Excellent. She might need it to fend off illegal aliens that prey on young women students.
... a mental disease.
It doesn’t get much safer than UW Wisconsin, although there are predators everywhere.
Regards,
Sweetie, just wear a Nose Ring and men will leave you alone.
Sadie Perez is mentally deficient.
She claims she's at risk from the very people who have been trying to warn her about the risks she's already been facing due to illegal alien invaders and sociopathic criminals her Democrat masters have been releasing into her neighborhood.
She'd die of boredom at an old age in neighborhood filled with Trump supporters.
She'd die a violent death in Democrat neighborhood.
The dykes at the local pharmacy have been a little more uptight since the election.
(“The fact that I feel like I have to carry around pepper spray like this is sad,” said Perez, a 19-year-old political science student in Wisconsin.)
It IS sad. Because you’re wacko with this imaginary stupidity fed to you by MSNBC and CNN.
“ Nick Fuentes, a Holocaust-denying white nationalist and far-right internet personality” is most likely a leftist plant running a false-flag operation.
100% total made up BS!
Readit is all fake.
The "everybody clapped" and "she/he/it turned pale" stories? All fake.
People need to learn how to not be jerked around.
The phrase “your body, my choice” is leveled at women who falsely claim “my body, my choice”; to expose their hypocrisy in denying that the child in the womb is a distinct body.
Got the vapors do you sweet cheeks?
Women are equal to men. Society need not worry. I have seen many videos of women subduing one or more bad guys easily. Granted, these were all made in Hollywood, but they sure seemed realistic.
Demeaning? No. Humbling, yes. The truth may humble us all.
WARNING! Don’t go to the site. There is a picture of Sadie and her sister Amanda. Just say “No.”
““The fact that I feel like I have to carry around pepper spray like this is sad,” said Perez, a 19-year-old political science student in Wisconsin. “Women want and deserve to feel safe.””
Perez and her ilk should, if being honest, protest with signs saying “Our idiocy, our choice”. But then again, being honest just isn’t in their playbook of DEI BS. The only reason women don’t feel safe in this current environment is because they stupidly voted for Democrats who allowed open borders which resulted in hoards of rapists, robbers and assorted other criminals to roam freely throughout the USA. The stupid, it burns... and there’s no cure for it.
