It's a reverse of "my body, my choice" (as in "I do whatever I want with my body, including abortions etc.) that is meant to demonstrate the position of right-wingers who want to take that away.

I don't think any of right-wingers themselves used that kind of phrasing. But I can be wrong.

Apparently they did, being emboldened by the election results:

My daughter is in high school and has reported an increase in precisely this kind of thing at her school.

"Wanna hear a joke? Women's rights...hurdeehur..."

Another anecdote to add (may as well leave it with your daughter's). Since Wednesday I've been catcalled 4 times, just out getting groceries, doing errands. I'm a woman in my late 40s in Canada who hasn't been catcalled in that specifically threatening nasty way since my early 30s. And it's ALL been from rabid-looking white guys. They've obviously been given a very clear go-ahead with Trump's win.

Thanks for context!

What do you possibly mean by the second paragraph? It's literally ONLY conservatives that would ever use such a vile phrase. Or did you mean that they don't come out and explain their newest slogans like you have here? Because yeah, I don't think they have started explaining that they want to rape women yet, it's still just in the "joke" phase of the right wing playbook.

I was not aware any of them used such a phrase in any context, and have seen this as the left showing what the right's intention could be.

If any of this comes from the right even as a joke, I sharpen my guillotine.
