'Neo-masculinists' cancel worldwide meetups over fears of feminist 'mobs'

A provocative American pickup artist-turned-international "neo-masculinist" leader announced this week that he was canceling gatherings of his male followers because of a massive global backlash.

Daryush Valizadeh, who goes by the name Roosh V, said he was scrapping "tribal meetings" of men who share his belief in "traditional sex roles," because he could "no longer guarantee the safety or privacy of the men who want to attend."

The announcement came after outraged activists around the world planned to protest the event, which Valizadeh claimed included 165 meetings in 43 countries. Politicians on at least three continents said the meetings were unwelcome. The mayor of Melbourne, Australia, even said anyone attending one of Valizadeh's "Return of Kings" meetups could be charged with trespassing on city property.

Spurred on by Valizadeh's past argument that rape should be legalized -- a statement he now insists was satire -- some protesters threatened to repel the neo-masculinists by force, if needed.

1. Kill me now I can't stand this world any longer.

fml the stupid is so tremendous.

I think MRA's are one of my least favorite groups. Seriously.

4. Pity the tragic, downtrodden...

...white male in these woe-begotten days. Where are they going to stake out a place for themselves???

22. These people are not just your ordinary MRA douche-bros.

These people call themselves "Red-Pillers", a reference to the famous scene in "The Matrix", because they believe they have "taken the red pill" and accepted the realities of "biotruths" suppressed by the "politically correct establishment". They think all women are mentally children incapable of reason and think seducing teenage girls is A-OK.

These fuckers make your average MRA idiot ranting about having to pay child support sound reasonable by comparison.

2. Here in BC, at least...

...his and his "organization" were told more than clearly that they are not welcome here at all.

I think they are worse than WBC, in fact. Their rhetoric could easily move into harmful action, I'm sure. Our federal govt. didn't let WBC across the border, so I don't see why this douche ought to be allowed to spread his hate.

3. How masculine of him....

What a fucking clown.
That anyone even listens to idiots like this underscores how threatened some men are by equality.
He obviously knows nothing about "traditional sex roles" either.
Please leave anthropology to professionals.

5. geez

6. Not seeing a downside here.

The headline should be "Psychos get too scared of the 'weaker sex' to leave their mommies' basements for meetup." The only better outcome would be for ACTUAL mobs of feminists ('cuz that's what we do... travel in mobs...) to chase them out with their tails between their legs.

10. Complete with mob caps?

11. This is so stupid on so many levels

feminist mobs

[valerief]

13. Neo-Masculinist??? Couldn't they think of a more pathetic name?

[FSogol]

15. Call them by their real name......Losers

[JustAnotherGen]

14. More like Roof V. or Douche V!

I've been hearing about this asshole on YouTube for quite a while now. Here is Kevin Logan verbally ripping him a new asshole.

[smirkymonkey]

19. Brilliant! Long, but worth it! What a takedown!

Bravo Kevin, well done!

[EllieBC]

16. Mayors across Canada

Denounced their meetup. Some even said the RCMP would be out.

Methinks the little douche was more afraid of law enforcement than "feminist mobs".

[silverweb]

17. Like most bullies.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Chickenshit cowards when confronted.

[Little Tich]

20. "And in Toronto, an all-girls boxing club said it would crash a local neo-masculinist meeting --

gloves on and ready to rumble."

[Odin2005]

21. Roosh is trying the "it was satire" defense?

[63splitwindow]

23. Proud not to know anything about any of this :thumbsup: n/t

[8 track mind]

24. Feminist mobs?

No dude, it was more like seriously pissed off women who were gonna stomp a mud hole in your ass if you showed up. You and your gang of losers were going to get educated really quick.

[Midnight Writer]

25. "Neo-Masculinist"? Oh, Lord, I can't stop laughing!

Just mentally picturing all the "pickup artists" and he-man women haters I have met in my blessedly long life.

The predators are "victims" of their intended prey.

Priceless.

Thanks for the belly laugh.
