That's a quote from the article, but it's not intended as a fact. In the context of the full quote, he's offering a caricatured viewpoint that he does not agree with, and then going on to show that the world is not so simple: Reading The Red Pill, then, offers two possible answers to the question “how shitty are men really?” The first situates The Red Pill as another toxic technoculture on a spectrum of digital misogyny: on Twitter, any woman who says anything even moderately controversial will receive torrents of direct physical threats as a matter of course. Sites such as 4chan exist mainly to post thousands of revenge porn images without consent. Gamers on Xbox Live will be sexually harassed, inevitably. The answer to the question of how shitty men are, from this perspective, is “really pretty shitty”.
