A history of America First streamer Nick Fuentes’ extreme misogyny

Media Matters for America · Reed McMaster & Jack Wheatley · last updated

“Your body, my choice” may be Nick Fuentes’ most infamous line attacking women, but the noted white nationalist streamer and Holocaust denier has a long history of using misogynistic rhetoric on his America First livestreams and during appearances on other online shows. These comments include instances where:

  • Fuentes has advocated for imprisoning women and stripping away their rights, calling them “the number one political enemy in America.”

  • Fuentes has repeatedly discussed, mimed, or advocated for assaulting women on his show, saying he would “beat the shit out of” and “murder” his hypothetical girlfriend.

  • Fuentes has repeatedly discussed sex with underage girls and claimed the age of consent “should be lower” and has stated he wanted a “16-year-old wife.” 

  • Fuentes has attacked women as “emotional” and “annoying,” said they should “know their place,” and said women should be called “my prisoner” instead of “my wife.”

  • Fuentes has claimed women are “idiots” who are “made to have kids” and that “women exist for sex.”

  • Fuentes has complained about women in politics, repeatedly attacked women in right-wing media, and stated that “the man should be the man of the conservative movement.”
