New Hampshire state Representative Robert Fisher resigned on Wednesday, weeks after he was exposed by The Daily Beast as the founder of a “women-hating” Reddit community known as the Red Pill. Under the username pk_atheist, Fisher had authored comments suggesting that women serve “little purpose in day to day life” outside of their physical looks because of their “sub-par intelligence” and “lackluster and boring” personalities. Commenting as pk_atheist, Fisher also claimed that he had installed video cameras in his bedroom to prevent women from accusing him of rape.

Asked to comment on The Daily Beast investigation, Fisher denied even knowing what the Red Pill was. Within hours, Reddit usernames and communities connected to him were either deleted or made private. In a public hearing last week, Fisher would eventually admit that he and pk_atheist were one and the same.
