Robert Fisher, the New Hampshire state representative who reportedly created Reddit’s women-hating, men’s rights forum The Red Pill, has resigned.

Just hours after a House committee voted along party lines to take no action against the 31-year-old Republican lawmaker, Fisher submitted his resignation to Speaker Shawn Jasper.

Last month, The Daily Beast linked Fisher to an online alias responsible for creating the misogynist site in 2012. Almost immediately following The Daily Beast’s requests for comment, the two Reddit accounts linked to Fisher were wiped, along with four blogs used to connect them. In a follow-up story, The Daily Beast reported that another account linked to Fisher posted that all feminists want to be raped.
