A man who describes himself as
“neomasculinist” and blogs about methods for luring women in
different countries into sex, Daryush Valizadeh, also known as
Roosh V, has announced plans to stage a series of
international “meet-up” events this Saturday (Feb 6), where
“heterosexual men only” are invited to discuss his views.
And Singapore is among the 43
countries in which this “tribal meeting” will be held.
Roosh V received widespread
condemnation after he published a blog post in which he said that
the solution for rape charges against men would be to “make
rape legal if done on private property.” He later claimed that it
was satirical.
The American who is 36 year-old,
has argued that a women who consented to go into a man’s
house, had consented to sex.
Roosh V has got a following in
Singapore, and in their forum they discuss
where and how to pick-up women.
His followers who are attending the
international meet-up this Saturday are told to assemble at Fort
Canning Park, underneath the big arch at 8pm.
They must repeat a “code phrase” when
arriving.
“To identify your fellow tribesmen,
ask the following question to a man you suspect is there for the
meetup: “Do you know where I can find a pet shop?” If you are asked
this question, answer in the affirmative: “Yes, it’s right here,”
Roosh V tells his supporters.
The international meet-up is not going
unnoticed. A bar in Hong Kong designated as the
gathering spot is considering legal action. While in Scotland,
a petition calling on the Government to stop Roosh V’s
meetings in Edinburgh and Glasgow from taking place, has amassed
more than 40,000 signatures.
V Roosh has said, “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,” suggesting that protestors against the “tribal
meet-ups” will be rebuffed with force.
Recognising the worldwide
opposition from many different factions to his intended
international meetings Roosh V said, “the world is moving against
us. Since this meet-up was never intended as a confrontation
with unattractive women and their enablers, I’m moving to save as
many of these meetups as I can before Saturday so that men can
still meet in private away from a loud, obnoxious, dishonest, and
potentially violent mob.”
