'Legalize Rape' Blogger Plans Men's Group Meeting in Sacramento Area

By TIM MORAN (Patch Staff)

A worldwide anti-woman, purportedly pro-rape group is planning to meet at various locations throughout the world on their “International Meetup Day” this Saturday, Feb. 6.

The Return of Kings and self-proclaimed group leader“Roosh V.” have published blogs advocating for the legalization of rape when off public grounds and have often tweeted about the best ways to trick women into having sex with them.

An official White House petition to label them a terrorist group has garnered more than 1,000 signatures.

“Roosh V” is Daryush Valizadeh, the writer of a number of books advising men on the best ways to have sex with women. He has been dubbed as “the web’s most infamous misogynist” and says he bases his beliefs on “neomasculinity.”

In one of his most notorious posts, he writes:

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.

There are 13 of the “men’s rights” locations for Saturday’s 8 p.m. meeting in California. One is in the city of San Leandro and others in Redwood City and Roseville.

An odd Q and A on the event web page makes it clear women aren’t allowed, and neither are gay or underage men.

A question regarding the possibility of “crazy feminists” showing up elicited a chilling response.

“Record them with your camera, upload the footage to Dropbox, and then send it to me at roosh@rooshv.com afterwards so we can tear them up.”

According to the group meetup page, once all members have congregated near the meetup the host of the gathering will lead them to a secret location. The code phrase for group members is said to be “Do you know where I can find a pet shop?,” at which time another member will say “Yes, it’s right here.”

Feminist groups plan to show up at the various meetups as part of a counter-protest, according to multiple media reports. Police departments in other Return of Kings targeted cities have warned women not to interfere, fearing this may be a ruse for the men to commit rape.

A look at the comments below the meetup info on the Return of Kings page makes it appear like Roosh indeed has a following. The infamous blogger says he will be at the Washington D.C. meetup during the time. In all, 165 meetings are planned in 43 countries.

Three sections of the Return of Kings have been formed, according to the blog: one each in Chicago, D.C. and Poland.
