Misogynistic Group "Return of Kings" Sets International Meetup Day
Twitter

In October 2012, Roosh Valizadeh, an avid advocate of legalizing rape, created a site called "Return of Kings." Some of the most featured articles on the site are, "Women Should Not Be Allowed To Vote," "The Intellectual Inferiority of Women," and "8 Things That Make A Girl Stupid And Useless."

The pro-rape, homophobic, and anti-feminist group surprisingly has a lot of followers, and the group set up various locations to meet up internationally on February 6 from 8-8:20 pm. In D.C., they are set to meet up on the north side of DuPont Circle. Other locations include meetups in almost every state, as well as 43 other countries.

The "secret" question marking the meeting is, "Do you know where I can find a pet shop?" The "right" response is "Yes, it's right here." Then, apparently all of the participants are taken to a different location for the final meeting.

The site is a major advocate of male supremacy, and it allows for users to submit articles for the editor to be published. In order to contact the editor, one must fill out a reader form, and most of the information requested seems out of the ordinary: name, email, message, etc. However, the form requests that, if you are a woman, you have to submit a photo of yourself. Yes, I did not misstype that part--females have submit a fucking photo of themselves in order to submit an opinion, which just validates exactly what is wrong with the site.

On Roosh Valizadeh's personal blog, http://www.rooshv.com/, he writes, "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."

Whether people protest the meetings or not, the radical male supremicists will always find a place to meet, whether it be as public as the meetup on February 6 or not. However, protestors can still make it more difficult, such as forcing the group to find alternate meeting places, and at least their disagreement is made known in a public way so that awareness can be brought to this troubling movement.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
