“Let the sixth of February be a clear signal to all that we’re not going anywhere. We have finally arrived,” Roosh V announced on his website. Windsor is one of 10 cities in Canada — among 43 countries across the globe — with similar gatherings planned, he claims.

The group believes women are subordinate to men and that a woman’s value should be pegged to her “beauty and fertility.”

Mayors of the listed Canadian host cities took to social media Tuesday to condemn Roosh V and his plans for Return of Kings’ supporters.
