Roosh had a couple of big traumas in the 2nd half of the 2010s. Roosh was basically Andrew Tate before Andrew Tate.
He was part of a media crap storm in 2016 for a men's meetup day when the mass media discovered some obscure article that he wrote about rape. That was the turning point of the Return of Kings blog, which had been great from 2012-2016.
I actually heard about this but didn't know the details. Looking things up, I found:
“I saw women wholly unconcerned with their own safety and the character of men they developed intimate relationships with. I saw women who voluntarily numbed themselves with alcohol and other drugs in social settings before letting the direction of the night’s wind determine who they would follow into a private room. I saw women who, once feeling awkward, sad, or guilty for a sexual encounter they didn’t fully remember, call upon an authority figure to resolve the problem by locking up her previous night’s lover in prison or ejecting him from school ... I thought about this problem and am sure I have the solution: make rape legal if done on private property. I propose that we make the violent taking of a woman not punishable by law when done off public grounds.”

I definitely don't condone rape but he's right about women unconcerned about their safety being drunk and high and sometimes getting raped. He might have just written something outrageous to make a point.
In 2018, Roosh's younger sister died of breast cancer at age 31. It is clear Roosh was affected by that.
I heard about this. Too bad ROK is closed.
