In the hours upon hours I spent wandering this online neighbourhood, I saw mostly feral boys wandering the digital ruins of exploded masculinity, howling their misery, concocting vast nonsense about women, and craving the tiniest crumb of self-confidence and fellow-feeling. But the bulk of the comments are much more muted and, frankly, pathetic.

There is plenty of vileness, to be sure – elaborate conspiracy theories formed out of pure misogyny and outright hatred of female independence.

But judging The Red Pill by the most extreme statements of its members is, if not unfair, then at least inaccurate.
