"We haven't heard from this group, but if we had been given notice we wouldn't have approved of it as we are a family-orientated community," she said. Some of the articles that appear on the Return of Kings website "I don't really want to comment about the group or give them any air time, but we would not encourage this type of group in our community." The meeting is organised by US-based "neomasculinist" and legal rape advocate, Daryush "Roosh" Valizadeh, who believes women are biologically determined to follow the orders of men. Women, transgender men and homosexual men are banned from the meeting - where participants have been instructed to ask men in the area, "Where is the nearest pet shop?" and wait for the correct response, "The pet shop is here", to identify other supporters.

Federal Greens spokesperson for women, Larrisa Waters said there was no place for these violent, archaic and disturbing views about women. Daryush Valizadeh.

"I doubt there will be many men stupid enough to wander around on February 6 asking about pet shops; but any men who are thinking about attending these disturbing events should be aware that not only is their behaviour completely out of touch with the majority of Australians, but that it is a criminal offence to incite violence. "That this group would even think people would attend their ridiculous events is concerning and underlines the urgent need for a Sex Discrimination Commissioner, which the Liberal government continues to delay appointing." The rooshv.com website links to this photo of the Ocean Beach Hotel to identify a meeting point for the group's Perth followers.

WA Labor spokesperson for women's interest Simone McGurk was just as scathing of the group. "These absurd views are of course, best ignored," she said. "Rape is recognised morally and legally as an act of violence, and any group which condones violence or degradation against women should be condemned. "Obviously people should boycott this group and its forums. I would also hope that any venue or supplier of services would also show their disgust by not assisting its organisation in any way." Ms McGurk was hoping the meeting at the OBH was a spectacular no-show by men. "As a society, we're currently grappling with how to best stamp out family and domestic violence," she said. We need more respect in our community, not less.

"Let's hope this group fizzes out with a spectacular series of no-shows at all their Australian events." The Return of the Kings website Return of Kings, which was established in 2012 has more than 12,500 Facebook likes and publishes about 15 articles a month. ​In a post on the Return of Kings website about the meetings, which have been organised in Melbourne Sydney and Brisbane as well as Perth, Valizadeh told followers that he "will exact furious retribution upon anyone who challenges you in public on that date" [February 6]. He advised supporters to film protesters and ask for the numbers of any women who attend. A spokesman for WA Police said that regardless of the reasons any group might gather or protest, if there was a disturbance or a threat to the safety of the community police would intervene.
