‘Legal rape’ blogger organizes covert meetings for men across U.S.

A blogger who once argued rape should be legal if done on private property has launched an “International Meetup Day” where followers are expected to gather furtively Saturday night in various locations throughout the world.

The website Return of Kings is hosting the event, promising a total of 165 meetings in 43 countries, which will all take place Saturday night. Return of Kings is run by Daryush Valizadeh, better known as Roosh V — a self-described pickup artist who sparked international outrage last year after he authored a blog post supporting “legal rape.”

“I propose that we make the violent taking of a woman not punishable by law when done off public grounds,” he wrote on his blog in February 2015.
