Vocalist Rachel Aspe commented:
„Pig is the expression of my disgust of men sending unsolicited intimate pictures, messages, crossing boundaries and harassing women digitally. I’ve had hundreds over the years, and it’s crazy to think that everyday women regularly get these messages. I just wanted to scream my hatred to them, raise awareness of the issue and show solidarity to other women who experience this abuse.”

And the depth and breadth of the issue is harrowing; latest polling from Amnesty International UK uncovers the shocking forms of online harassment faced by Gen Z women, including:
- More than half (53%) receiving inappropriate emojis (e.g., 🍆💦) on their posts and photos
- 44% receiving unsolicited explicit images
- 43% being body-shamed
- 40% subjected to unwanted sexually suggestive comments
- 32% experiencing hate speech
- 27% reporting online stalking
