Not. The. Onion.

A blogger who once argued rape should be legal if done on private property has launched an “International Meetup Day” where followers are expected to gather furtively Saturday night in various locations throughout the world.

The website Return of Kings is hosting the event, promising a total of 165 meetings in 43 countries, which will all take place Saturday night. Return of Kings is run by Daryush Valizadeh, better known as Roosh V — a self-described pickup artist who sparked international outrage last year after he authored a blog post supporting “legal rape.”...

Mr. Valizadeh said on Twitter Tuesday night that the blog post was meant to be satire, but the backlash continued. Mayors in the U.K., Australia and Canada have publicly condemned the blogger, and petitions have been launched to revoke his travel rights. A U.K. petition calling for him to banned from the country before scheduled meet-ups in Glasgow, Edinburgh, London and Cardiff has surpassed 50,000 signatures, even though he is not expected to be present at those meetings. Australia’s Immigration Minister Peter Dutton responded to the controversy Tuesday, saying “People who advocate violence against women are not welcome” in the country. Mr. Valizadeh, of Maryland, said he would be joining the activists on Saturday in Washington, D.C. only....

“Up to now, the enemy has been able to exert their power by isolating us and attacking with shrieking mobs, but we’ll be able to neutralize that tactic by amassing in high numbers come February 6,” he wrote, DNAInfo reported. “I will exact furious retribution upon anyone who challenges you in public on that date.”

1. Squad of women in boxing gloves to crash Roosh V's Toronto meet-up

http://www.metronews.ca/news/toronto/2016/02/02/toronto-woman-plans-to-crash-roosh-v-meetup-.html

How do you deal with a man who advocates for legal rape? With boxing gloves, according to a group of Toronto women....

Roosh, whose real name is Daryush Valizadeh, has promised to take video of feminists who crash the gatherings so he and his online followers can “tear them up” afterwards.

But the Toronto Newsgirls boxing club isn’t afraid retaliation, online or off. They’re pledging to find the meeting spot and show up in full force, gloves and all.

“Pictures will show up online of women wearing boxing gloves, and blah, blah, blah,” Howe said. “The photos of us will show women that being powerful is an option.

Beauty, eh?

[KamaAina]

25. Saturday

34. Am I wrong in wanting to see this creep in an octagon with Ronda Rousey?

She could take him down by telepathy.

[Iggo]

2. Howcome "pickup artists" have such trouble getting laid?

I think maybe that word doesn't mean what they think it means.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

26. It's all the paint fumes destroying their brains.

Just leave the pickups painted their original colours, and everything will be much better.

[Xipe Totec]

4. Men don't attend such things. nt

[KamaAina]

5. Alas, that's an example of the "No true Scotsman" fallacy.

[Xipe Totec]

6. Not a fallacy - A definition. nt

[LanternWaste]

9. Not a defintion- an allegation

Not a defintion- an allegation. nt

[Xipe Totec]

11. Not an allegation - an accusation

That males who attend such gatherings are not men.

[Rex]

7. International Meetup Day = Massive Circle Jerk and Sobbing Day.

Have fun jacking each other off you pathetic excuses for men!

[LanternWaste]

8. Minutes of Covert Meeting

Minutes of Covert Meeting

1. State with the celeb you'd most like to date.
2. Complain about an anti-rape PSA seen formerly that same day.
3. Spend ten minutes discussing how the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition is relevant to sports.
4. Rationalize porn as healthy and a release that would otherwise result in a social faux-pas from people who claim they are unable to control themselves.
5. Claim too many rapes are the result of 'false memories.'
6. Pretend women have the right to have their rapes called “rape” while men do not.
7. Beer run.
8. Call everything feminism except feminism. Use the false attribute to validate a tiny ego.
9. Talk about the fictional dates everyone went on after the last meeting.
10. Pretend to be oppressed and leave.

10. Thread win!

[hifiguy]

12. Give him two minutes with Ronda Rousey,

and in 30 seconds he will be crying for his mama and peeing his pants. At the end of a minute she should have managed to rip his arm out of its socket and beat him senseless with it.

[Mnemosyne]

13. I am a pacifist, but seriously might even pay to see that.

[alittlelark]

33. I'd prefer Holley Holms.....

[In_The_Wind]

15. Isn't satire supposed to be funny?

We are not amused.

[noiretextatique]

17. i bet most in attendance will be cops

what a great way to nab some self-proclaimed rapists.

[smirkymonkey]

20. I really hope he runs into the wrong woman one of these days.

One who will wipe the floor with his ass and leave him begging for his life.

[hifiguy]

21. See my post #12.

[smirkymonkey]

22. LOL! If only!

That would be justice, wouldn't it!

[olddots]

24. If we want to do away with rape culture

we have to get the money out of it , hopefully we can .

[Brickbat]

27. They've been cancelled.

[Denzil_DC]

28. Latest announcement.

ANNOUNCEMENT: The Meetup On February 6 Is Cancelled
February 3, 2016

I can no longer guarantee the safety or privacy of the men who want to attend on February 6, especially since most of the meetups can not be made private in time. While I can’t stop men who want to continue meeting in private groups, there will be no official Return Of Kings meetups. The listing page has been scrubbed of all locations. I apologize to all the supporters who are let down by my decision.

Which is a bit of a climbdown after he posted this earlier today:




Things got a little lively for him on Twitter when he posted this (NSFW language at link):

Roosh @rooshv

I've received more threats from Glasgow than anywhere else combined. Is it some kind of convict resettlement zone?

And this also hasn't been going well:

Roosh ?@rooshv 6h6 hours ago

I'm starting a new hashtag: #FeminineWomenForRoosh. For feminine women who are disgusted with media lying, how do you feel about this drama?

[gratuitous]

30. Kind of a drama queen, isn't he?

Folded faster than Superman on laundry day.

[Denzil_DC]

31. Narcissistic self-publicist, really.

I think he hoped to make a splash. He did. Now he's in full victim mode, and his website's down.

I wasn't kidding about the NSFWness of the link in that tweet about Glasgow (not just fruity language, but lots of threats, some cartoonish, some entirely credible if he ever shows his face there).

The city's got plenty of its own problems with sexual politics, but the idea of a load of imported PUAs steaming in on a Saturday night and interfering with the traditional merry dance of courtship in the pubs and clubs has riled up even the less than feminist guys out there.
