After being ridiculed by some women at a Halloween party in 2013, Alek began to resent women(particularly "alpha" women whom he referred to as "Stacys"). Some time after that, he met Elliot Rodger on Reddit, and after Rodger's attack, Alek came to believe that the attack had been part of a rebellion against a society dominated by "Chads"(alpha men) and "Stacys".
