Police departments and leaders across the globe are taking a stand against a controversial group.
Return of Kings is known as a group for “masculine men†and complains about the rise of feminism and the loss of ‘traditional sex roles.’
The group’s leader, Daryush Valizadeh, has written articles stating that rape should be legal on private property. Others in the group claim that women should not be allowed to vote, among other beliefs.
The group announced recently that it would be holding 165 meetings in 43 countries as part of its ‘international meetup day’ on Feb. 6 at 8 p.m.
There are several of the meetups scheduled across the country, including one set in front of Harkins Theater in Oklahoma City.
“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,†the website states.
Following the announcement, several leaders across the globe are speaking out against the group.
Also, police departments across the United States are alerting residents to the group’s plans to meet.
“The world is moving against us. I’ve gotten reports of over a dozen organized protests at our meeting points. Dozens more are being organized privately. Since this meetup 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,†the group’s website read.

Hegel?
Funny, my first thought was that it was a ginned-up (heh) story planted by the Hillary campaign.
Past: “Oh, our country is so racist! We must elect a black president to show that we aren’t too.”
Present: “Oh, the world is so misogynistic! We must elect a woman to show that we aren’t too!”
This awful woman-hating group that no one’s ever heard of — comes to the fore in the crucial days of a presidential campaign.
And I don’t know what this piece of authorship is (from Hillary-friendly NBC), but journalism it ain’t:
“Police departments” (one cited) “and leaders across the globe” (three minor Canadian figures quoted) “are taking a stand against a controversial group.”
“Return of Kings is known” (by whom?) “as a group for ‘masculine men’Â and complains about the rise of feminism and the loss of Ëœtraditional sex roles.’” (No citation given)
“The group’s leader, Daryush Valizadeh, has written articles” (no citation given) “stating that rape should be legal on private property. Others in the group” (no citation given) “claim that women should not be allowed to vote, among other beliefs.
...
“’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?’” (farcical, if true.)”’If you are asked this question, answer in the affirmative: ‘Yes, it’s right here,’ the website states.
...
“’The world is moving against us. I’ve gotten reports of over a dozen organized protests at our meeting points. Dozens more are being organized privately. Since this meetup was never intended as a confrontation with unattractive women and their enablers,” (that ought to fire up the opposition!) “’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,’Â the group’ss website read.”
The article then goes on to helpfully note:
“one Oklahoma group says it will protest the organization’s meeting.
Members of the Dakhma of Angra Mainyu, also known as the Devil’s Religion, will be at Harkins from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 6.
“It will also be our goal to put fear in folks who think going to this meeting is a good idea,†said Dastur Adam Daniels in a news release.”
WTH?
Are we supposed to side with “The Devil’s Religion” in opposing this evil men’s group?
And is “Dastur” a first name, or a religious title?
For that matter, what is a “Dakhma”?
Is the reader supposed to know, based on an intimate familiarity with the Devil’s Religion?
Journalism fail; false flag fail. D-minus.
I’m thinking this article has holes in it and possibly some lies. How could anyone put their name on an organization that is “pro-rape”? I can’t believe we learned the whole story from the article.
Marx owed much to Hegel. The latter’s theory of historical dialecticism shaped the whole “class struggle” model Marx obsessed over. The Frankfurt School, Gramsci, Alinsky, and now obama, all use it as a way to divide and conquer.
Daryush Valizadeh -- an Arab? What a surprise. You probably won't see that in ANY of the so called news coverage about this scumbag. Thanks nickcarraway.
Are you crazy? Hitler was far worse than the Kaiser. Stalin was much worse than any of the Czars. Castro was much worse than Batista. Cube used to be one of the wealthiest in the Americas. Quality of living dropped way down.
I looked it up. He is not Arab. He was born in the District of Columbia. His parents were Armenian and Iranian, but he speaks neither language.
Thanks nc.
Eventually deciding to blog under his own name, he quit his job after six years and turned to writing full-time, publishing his first book Bang in 2007 – described as "a textbook for picking up girls and getting laid". It took a somewhat scientific approach to seducing women and became the latest in a long line of 'game' guides by other male 'pick-up artists'.
Looks like a creep and a bogeyman for the left.
Thanks antidisestablishment,
First line of third paragraph; “So controversial are the groups’ views that Valizadeh was once branded the “web’s most infamous misogynist” by the Daily Dot in 2014 and even listed on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s quarterly extremism report in 2012 - something usually reserved for terrorists and anti-Semitic far-right groups”
Using the SPLC in the article to support the distaste of Valizadeh is not a good sign. THEY THEMSELVES are a miserable hate group hanging that label on a truly righteous conservative Christian group because of their condemnation of the queer agenda.
MY take: The guy’s a “scoring guru” creep, and his advocating legalizing rape comes from his roots as in islam, if not stated over the top. Kind of like in defense of boxer Mike Tyson; why was that girl in his bed?
“Iranian?”
“Daryush Valizadeh was born in the United States in 1979. His parents were immigrants from Armenia and Iran.”

Geez ... Sometimes irony is lost ...
He doesn’t advocate legalized rape.
No. Not except for preventing men from being charged for rape by women that he feels have lead them on too far. He made his legal rape argument to get women to not lead guys on and then turn them down when they got to the privacy of the man’s home. It’s over the top stuff, but on too sensitive a subject to use that kind of language.
I don’t think he made his point well, and as satire it didn’t work. But it was clear to me he wasn’t being serious. I’d never heard of him before all this happened, but I’ve been reading the sites he runs, and it’s pretty interesting. He seems to be a pretty creepy person clearly struggling to be a better person and becoming more conservative in the process and trying to lead others in the same direction.
An excellent point — if a clipped haired mean faced (w)itch in comfortable shoes says “those guys support _____ and we must protest them”, I should probably figure that they are into activities that such people find disgusting...
Like hunting, eating meat, drinking beer, heterosexual nookie, football, and leaving the toilet seat up. IOW, they are regular guys.
