This fear ran parallel to his dismissive views of rape and sexual consent he once argued that rape jokes made by the high schoolers who witnessed the assault of the Steubenville rape victim were not newsworthy, and also suggested that it is “evolutionarily advantageous” for a 40-year-old man to hit on a 15-year-old girl. The Daily Beast also points out that Fisher frequently posted in TheRedPill about his fear of being falsely accused of rape.

“I treat women like they're subordinate creatures, and suddenly they respect me,” Fisher wrote in 2013. Under various aliases used across the internet, Fisher expressed his belief that women are unintelligent and argued that it’s “necessary to teach women consequence” for leaving their marriages - a statement that reflects his most recent campaign promise to “strengthen the family.” Though at the time of his departure as a moderator of TheRedPill, Fisher said he would not be participating further in the community, he remained semi-active in the forum until his outing by the Daily Beast.

Instead, he seems to be embracing his role as a de facto leader of the alt-right enclave, and says he will “stand strong for men's rights” in the New Hampshire legislature. Now greeting the accusations - which include a litany of misogynistic comments posted to the forum over the years - with a mix of denial and admission, Fisher is ignoring calls from his fellow state legislators to resign. In 2014, he campaigned as a Republican, won, and maintained his seat in 2016 with a total of 5,700 votes. Fisher created r/TheRedPill near the end of his initial campaign for the New Hampshire state House of Representatives, in which he ran as a Democrat.
