Buffy the Psych Prof

So apparently all over American high schools boys could be heard saying “Your body, my choice” today. The only people that can stop this is other men. Step the fuck up. Now’s the time to prove that it really is not all men

@DrPsyBuffy
Low hanging fruit whose parents thought it was funny huh?

@DrPsyBuffy My friend independently said this was happening at the school she teaches, that it's a Nick Fuentes thing. I would like to destroy the internet please.

@DrPsyBuffy That is the most enraging thing I've ever heard.

@DrPsyBuffy

I have to say that I am a sub teacher in a small city far from any metro area. I have seen one kid with a Trump shirt on and have heard no political talk or this at all.

Just my two cents.

@MylesRyden @DrPsyBuffy

Oh look here's one person who has not observed any sexism lately. Well then I guess we can all stop talking about sexism. Myles Ryden's little world is fine, so who are we to complain about the sexism?
Next up: Myles replies to a person who talks about cancer with "I don't have cancer and I didn't run into any person with cancer today. Just my two cents."

@Mab_813 @MylesRyden @DrPsyBuffy
Myles added a data point, and I appreciate it.
It is good to know where it's happening and where it's not. We need to be clear-eyed.

@Mab_813

Believe me, I see plenty of racism and sexism at the schools I work in, I just did not experience this particular thing at this particular time.

So you can go stuff yourself.

@Mab_813 be aware that you are the point where bullying starts.

@MylesRyden @DrPsyBuffy

@MylesRyden @DrPsyBuffy Two cents aren’t worth much anymore, especially when they come from a man trying to derail a woman’s thread by questioning her observations because he, a man, personally hasn’t witnessed the problem she described. Believe women, step back and listen, and don’t always assume your experience (even if it’s a null experience) needs to be heard.

@DrPsyBuffy @Nerdfest the proper response of a guy overhearing another guy saying that is a hearty fuck you and a punch in the teeth.

@mrcranky @DrPsyBuffy @Nerdfest Definitely a hearty "fuck you". Not so sure about a punch in the teeth though.

Personally, I'd favour a kick in the balls instead.

@statsguy

I said elsewhere about similar, steel toe-cap boots are for the win there.

@mrcranky @DrPsyBuffy @Nerdfest

@DrPsyBuffy in HS the girls could, and should, kick the shit out of them. Pack up, 3 on 1 and make him look like the weak ass bitch he is.

@DrPsyBuffy

I'd be inclined to retort, "said the priest to the boy".

@DrPsyBuffy
And they STILL don't get laid. What could possibly be the problem?

@DrPsyBuffy If you take it far enough there won't be many women, all dead, and the rich won't share.

@DrPsyBuffy The cynic in me also says Biden-Harris didn't do much about reproductive health because they thought scared women would get them into the White House. I'm so fed up being used.

@TheDailyBurble @DrPsyBuffy

That is WHY Obama never codified Roe like he promised, and why they all sat around listlessly pretending to wring their hands while they handed over the SCOTUS with a damned bow on top.

@violetmadder @DrPsyBuffy Glad it's not just me that suspects this then. Yes, they could have fixed it, but votes, they thought they'd get votes.

@DrPsyBuffy Boys (yes, boys, these are not men) need to learn that there are consequences to their actions. I just learned about the South Korean "4B" also always loved "Lysistrata." But, men, when did we stop teaching to and requiring respect from our boys?

@Jfillian @DrPsyBuffy Every single person who voted for Trump was 18 or older, so all those who are male are in fact men. A vote for Trump was permission to children with any form of privilege (including white/wealthy girls, etc.) to behave like bullies and think that was cool and how to get ahead.

@PedestrianError @DrPsyBuffy chronologically I agree. Thus the parsity of the English language. Perhaps I am remembering my favorite line from The Apartment. Be a Mensch Mr Baxter

@DrPsyBuffy That’s possibly the most evil thing I’ve heard someone say in real life. Movie villains say stuff like that.
You are 100% correct. That shit needs to be called out and corrected immediately every time.

@acm_redfox @DrPsyBuffy Just stick "your body my choice news" into your favorite search engine.

@courtcan @DrPsyBuffy lots online, nothing about high schools.

@courtcan @DrPsyBuffy ah! saw the article, but didn't read far enough to see the offline reports.

@DrPsyBuffy I have a feeling that this is a type of stuff that will motivate a lot of fence sitters faster than almost anything

@DrPsyBuffy We now know what was about. That should have been apparent in 2016.

@DrPsyBuffy I recommend that the girls say (loudly), "You wouldn't have a clue what to do with it!"

@DrPsyBuffy Not to sound argumentive, but... How?

Like, genuinely... The only thing I can think of as a non-parent that doesn't involve kidnapping and Jigsaw shit is to make memes.

I mean edgy problematic 4chan in 2007 memes. The least awful example coming to mind is an FDSFGS with Vance, but his mouth is a prolapsing anus spraying diarrhea. Things to say "Conservative ideological is cringe", in teenager language. I'm guessing that's not what you'd consider... The right move?

@DrPsyBuffy

Let's not forget that rape or the threat of rape are weapons of war to eliminate women's competition for access to higher education, which guarantees good careers with power and money.

@DrPsyBuffy The last time Trump got into office, his people were out saying terrible things like this. And naturally, we hated them for it.

At the time, I didn't realize this was a regime dedicated to sowing division in order to tear down civil society.

Notice how people are talking about responding to this foul language with violence? I think that's the idea. We tear each other apart.

How about, "You have to rape a woman to get a woman? Try charm." Just spitballing here.

@DrPsyBuffy I think the boys heated it from the priest... but didn't understand it.

@DrPsyBuffy

Tomorrow’s headline:
Why won’t women date men anymore?
Investigating this mysterious phenomena, we’ll find out if it’s true…

/s

@DrPsyBuffy How easily that statement leads to sexual assault. Rape is a male choice.
