“The real truth, the real red pill, is that the patriarchy serves none of us. It’s made you think you’re entitled to women’s time and bodies.

“We live in a world where monsters are praised and applauded. Where they’re promoted and enabled. Where they’re given even more opportunities with every vile action. Where they’re given slots on primetime television and OBEs and don’t even have to go through the public ballot for Wimbledon tickets. It’s hardly surprising that men like this hit the roof when they’re told no. They’re not used to it. It’s simply not in their vocabulary.”
