Women (girls) being harrassed boys with "Your body, my choice"

Reports of males holding up picket signs with "Your body, my choice" at two separate Texas Universities.

Locally this is happening in high schools and even middle schools. My neighbor's middle school daughter came home to say boys were harassing girls with this same phrase.

I hope those Trump voters with daughters understand the danger they just put their daughters in.

Trump supporters seem to always think the hate is ok because it's directed towards the "other guy" (or gal). But when it hits home, all of a sudden they care. I have to believe there are Trump dads out there with daughters who would go ballistic if their daughter was taunted like that, but they voted for it.

At some upscale shopping center. If it can happen in a “snooty” area in Naples - where you don’t even dare wear the wrong clothing it can happen anywhere - even if it’s a Republican area.

I grew up in the 50s and 60s. It wasn’t so obviously aggressive and confrontational as this era is becoming but I remember being mostly defensive and uncertain. I have trouble believing we are back here again with the aggression more outspoken and seemingly angry.
