PLEASE READ THE UPDATES AT THE BOTTOM
This coming Saturday, February 6, at 8pm local time, followers of “Roosh V”- noted sexist, racist, homophobic, and overall horrible monster (not a human being)- will be holding secret meetings to rally for rape to be legalized. You didn’t read this wrong THEY WANT RAPE TO BE LEGALIZED.
This shit is dangerous af, and as they have barred anyone who isn’t a cis male or straight, so we need all our white male allies to gather and shut this shit down. If you are a straight man of colour, please be careful. Even though the website says the meeting is for straight men of all races, the Roosh V following has also been known to be very racist and xenophobic.
Here is how the meeting will take place, as according to their website (I’m not going to link it because it does not deserve any hits, but all the info here is authentic- you may google and see for yourself):
We will have 165 meetings in 43 countries for our international meetup day on February 6, 2016 at 8PM local time. Hosts have been instructed to wait at the meeting point from 8:00-8:20pm before moving on to the final location. If you arrive at the meeting point at 8:21pm, you will miss the meetup. Arriving on time within the window is absolutely paramount.
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.” You can then introduce yourself and get details about where to proceed at 8:20. If you ask someone for the pet shop and they appear confused or actually try to direct you to a real pet shop, they’re not there for the meetup.
If you are a woman, DO NOT GO. If you are a gay man, DO NOT GO. If you are a trans man, DO NOT GO. Your safety is at risk. Roosh V has made it very apparent that your presence might be met with violence.
I won’t be able to attend a shut down (obvs- brown gay turban guy), but we need to shut this down ASAP. So to all my white brothers who identify as allies, now is your time to stand up and act.
I will be calling the RCMP and reporting this, make sure you report this to your local police as well.
Here is a list of all the locations where these men will come together (Roosh V himself will be at the Washington DC location):

Please please pleeeease do not ignore this or simply “like” it. Reblog, share a permalink with your friends who are not on tumblr, and get this out.

UPDATES (Thanks to everyone for contributing!)
-Please make sure you call the NON-EMERGENCY number for the police. Please do not inundate emergency lines.
-Notify the school or business if a proposed meeting place is on their grounds.
-Due to the attention many of these places have received, Roosh V has changed the locations of some the places and will only reveal the new locations after men email him to “prove” they are not protesters. So please be safe and vigilant.
-Yes, there is a possibility that this could be a publicity stunt, but we cannot afford to underestimate this and then have something horrible come out of it. I am not fear-mongering, I am simply raising awareness so people can prepare for the worst, but hope for the best.

Asshole’s quite real.
“While Roosh is best known for his extreme misogynistic views, including his belief that rape should be legalized, he still leaves some space in his heart for virulent homophobia.Here’s a few examples:Male homosexuals have become a public health threat America has turned into a “nation of burly dykes and butt fuckers.” And of course, gay marriage is destroying the American family. “
