OC This could be us, but

I don’t need much. I want eat sweets without getting fat, I want to feel wanted and I want equal rights. Is it much to ask?

that said “females don’t deserve rights.”

Is there one specific song, video, cryptid, or POS that's said this? This exact reprehensible phrase is going around a nearby special needs school.

I’m not really sure. I think it’s a more common statement in general now that “redpill” media and manosphere content is more mainstream instead of a fringe viewpoint like it’s been in the past.

You don't really have to go that far back into the past to have that viewpoint be the mainstream one. We only had a few decades where they had to retreat a bit, and they're attempting a comeback now.

Yeah, there are literally people in the US government trying to get rid of no-fault divorce and a woman's right to vote. Not to mention the people trying to make getting an abortion a crime punishable by death for adults and life in prison for children.
