Stop Supporters of 'Legal Rape' Roosh V Advocates meeting in Sydney/Entering Australia

The issue

Supporters of known 'legal rape' advocate and 'neo-masculinist' misogynist creator of 'Return of the Kings' Roosh V will congregate for the first time in Sydney this Saturday.

According to the Australian - "Women, transgender men and homosexual men are banned from the meeting of “neomasculinist” supporters, who have been urged to travel in pairs or groups using indirect routes to avoid “green-haired female activists or male feminists” following them."

The "tribal meetings" will occur on February 6 in Sydney as well as Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, as well as in 43 other countries.

Australia already has a widespread problem with rape, abuse and violence against women and does not need any more encouragement to harm women from people like Roosh V and his followers.

What these men are advocating is, and should legally be considered, a hate-crime. Not only should the police stop this event from occurring - they also need to inspect the men attending this event.

1 in 5 women will get raped in their lifetime and the large majority of the perpetrators will be men that they know. 

We need to send the message that rape is not ok, that supporting a misogynist like Roosh V is not ok and that violence against women is not ok!

Sign the petition to let the NSW Police Force know that we are absolutely livid that this sort of misogynistic form of terrorism will occur this Saturday. It should not be allowed or acceptable in Sydney or Australia in general. We want this event to be cancelled.

Confirmed victory

The Decision Makers

NSW Police
Responded
To all petitioners, As you are aware, permission to enter into Australia is a Federal matter. NSW Police has a role regarding law and order in this state and that includes both preventing and solving crime. The issue at the moment is while there has been talk of an “event”, police are not aware of any planned or scheduled public assemblies or rallies associated with the Return of Kings cause. No forms for such events have been submitted by any party. That’s why police have said they will monitor. At the moment, there is no “event”. There is just talk coming from an individual in the United States. If a law is breached, then police will act. Violence against women is a major issue for NSW Police. It is an appalling crime with police putting thousands of people before the courts each year. Dealing with this type of crime is one of the most difficult that front line and specialist officers face. Anyone who viewed the “Hitting Home” program recently aired on ABC TV would have seen the dedicated work done by our officers in this area. Please don’t mistake what police have to say on this matter for concurrence with the obnoxious views of someone in the US. As it stands, there are no events scheduled or any obvious support for any event, and thus, nothing to shut down.
