The answer to “rape culture” is not more & legal rape or for men “to stop asking permission”, as Roosh Valizdeh’s blog suggests. These misogynistic standpoints should be considered hate crimes! Valizadeh and the organization he founded, 'Return of Kings', actively encourage a mass of toxic and alarming beliefs and behaviours.

This person, supporters, and what they stand for are dangerous contributors in our society. Their ideologies have only negative impacts on our communities, families, and selves.

They are meeting in Toronto on February 6th, 2016 for the first time, as well as in 43 other countries around the world. Police need to prevent these meetings from happening, The media needs to expose those attending. These will be the future hate breeders within our homes.

Chances are you all have experienced or know someone who has been subjected to sexual violence, racism, homophobia, misogyny, and other hateful oppressions.

You can help by raising awareness of this rising danger through your own social networks, writing to people in positions of influence, organizing your own protests and interventions, as well as signing this petition aimed at bringing awareness to Canadian officials who need to step in to prevent these meetings from continuing.

Racist, homophobic and sexist calls to arms published by Valizadeh and his supporters can be found on the 'Return of Kings' official website [http://www.returnofkings.com as well as Valizadeh's own personal blog [http://www.rooshv.com
