Only heterosexual men will be allowed to attend the meetings
Dear god.
From the Scottish paper The National:
CONTROVERSIAL American pick-up artist and rape advocate Roosh V has organised meetings in Edinburgh and Glasgow for next Saturday.
Only heterosexual men will be allowed to attend the meetings, and any women attempting to come along will be filmed with footage sent to his worldwide “anti-feminist” network who will then “exact furious retribution”.
It would be interesting to see a Venn diagram of that network and people who follow Dawkins on Twitter.
At 8pm next Saturday supporters of the militant misogynist will turn up at Glasgow’s George Square and Edinburgh’s Grassmarket to meet other men before heading to another, secret location.
It’s part of an international meet-up taking place in 40 countries. On the website advertising the event, Roosh V writes that it is time for his supporters to “come out of the shadows and not have to hide behind a computer screen for fear of retaliation”.
Rapists’ Liberation! What a glorious cause.
Also, though…rape isn’t just some harmless pleasure suffering under a puritanical taboo. It’s a crime, a crime of violence. Women are not public property.
His belief that feminism has made men weak, has found a global audience, with a recent BBC report suggesting he had a million people using his website. Forums on the website also include user submitted guides on where best to sexually assault women in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
…
Ahead of Saturday’s event, he wrote: “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 neutralise that tactic by amassing in high numbers come February 6. I will exact furious retribution upon anyone who challenges you in public on that date (remember to record them). Therefore let the sixth of February be a clear signal to all that we’re not going anywhere. We have finally arrived.”
He has a dream today.
The last time he had an “international” tour it wound up being one or two lectures with thirty-some (at most) attendees each.
Roosh is a sorryass self-promoter, but his basic ideas are held by plenty of people. They seem to be especially attractive to young men who feel disenfranchised. That’s scary.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the atheoskeptical/secular humanist movement had a leader with lots of clout who spoke out against these people instead of retweeting them?*
* No, Dawkins hasn’t retweeted Roosh. Yet. He’s just retweeted NeoNazis–

and Dean Esmay. Roosh’s brothers-in-arms.
I’m not completely happy that we have hate speech laws in the UK, but while they are there, this seems like a good time to be using them.

Yeah this has been reported in NZ as well. Shit knows why they give such arse-breathers any airtime. The media weren’t even game to open comments on the article. If they had had any meeting points in my city I would have gone along to ‘observe’. It’s a small country (average 2.3 degrees of separation) and I’d like to exercise my free choice to avoid having anything personal or professional with such scum.
David has reported on this at We Hunted the Mammoth. Roosh’s operational security is hilarious. He could have been Ed Snowden’s security consultant.
Do you notice any similarities between the way he talks and the rhetoric of the Bundyites?
There’s a meeting in Newcastle (UK), which is fairly close to me. I’m half tempted to case out the meeting spot and see if anyone at all turns up. Roosh doesn’t have a great record at this sort of thing.
I live in Glasgow, this is being shared around a lot on Facebook. There’s a counter protest planned for it on Saturday

So… exactly the same as the recent Cologne mass groping, how multicultural of him.
This repulsive degenerate is making threats all over the place, so why isn’t he sitting in a jail cell somewhere?

Of course they limited it to heterosexual men. They’re afraid of homosexual rape. Only heterosexual rapists need apply.
One wonders what Dawkins’s plans are for 8:00 PM, February 6th…
Come out of the shadows and into my secret location…
What a bafoon
