Valizadeh lives in the basement of his mother's house in Silver Spring, MD, and today called in a private security guard

The self-styled 'King of Masculinity' has called in his own private security guard after claiming he had been threatened

Roosh Valizadeh, who used a blog post - which he later said was satirical - to say that if a woman was on private property she could be legitimately raped, hired the bodyguard as global revulsion over his views grew.

When Daily Mail Online attempted to speak to Valizadeh at his mother's basement where he is in hiding, his guard leaped up and warned our reporter off.

He said: 'I can't let you go there. I have got to protect him and myself. Nobody is going near his door.'

Closely guarded: Daryush 'Roosh' Valizadeh, 36 - the self-proclaimed 'king of masculinity' - hired a security guard and refused to emerge from his home today. He claims to have received threats over a blog attacked by critics as 'pro-rape'

Disheveled: This was the scene yesterday when. dressed in a t-shirt with sweat-stained armpits, and shorts, Daryush Valizadeh was seen for the first time since the storm erupted over his 'pro-rape' views

He said Valizadeh, 36, was not at home, but the bodyguard's cell phone rang twice during the conversation and a voice could be heard saying: 'Don't tell him anything.'

The man dubbed a 'hateful misogynist' had already called in police to protect him claiming he had received death threats, mainly from around the US, Canada, Australia and the UK, where 80,000 people signed a petition to have him banned from entering under hate laws.

But local police have declined to offer him round-the-clock security and stayed only a few minutes after he dialed 911 from the basement of his mother's house where he is in hiding.

Today, he was the targeted by Twitter followers who questioned how he could celebrate his so called masculinity and claim he is an international 'Don Juan' and still live under his mother's roof.

One wrote: 'Did your mother make you change T-shirts at least. Sweat stains are hardly threatening.'

Another asked: 'Did you tell mom if you will be home for dinner or not?'

A separate Twitter writer said: 'How are you getting there? Is your mum letting you borrow the mini van? Don't forget to be home by curfew.'

When Daily Mail Online called at his home yesterday an elderly woman answered the door, denying she was his mother and that she was the 'house cleaner'.

She said Valizadeh was not home and that she did not speak English. She then ran her finger over her sealed lips before closing the door.

But Valizadeh emerged in his stained T shirt and shorts minutes later when police answered his call.

He told officers that he had only written an article which critics say condones rape to gain attention but hadn't expected so much focus and was frightened.

Valizadeh, 36,is on record as advocating women be banned from voting, describing a woman's value as dependent on her 'fertility and beauty', and stating that women with eating disorders make the best girlfriends.

But in a highly criticized blog he said a woman could be legally raped if the attack happened on private property.

He told police he'd written it in early 2015 and had since put a disclaimer on the piece saying it was satire.

But asked when he had added the disclaimer he admitted it had been placed only the day before.

The internet geek, who has written a series of books teaching what he says is the best way for men to use their testosterone to bed women, likes to portray himself as an global businessman.

Valizadeh, who used the alias Roosh, said he was cancelling the worldwide city weekend meetings of his followers after the threats.

Not going according to plan: Valizadeh claimed the would hold a press conference tomorrow, but some Twitter users wanted to ask questions before he was ready to give answers

The Scottish city of Glasgow appeared was claimed to be the source of a particularly large backlash against the self-proclaimed King of Masculinity. It is unclear if this was what had prompted his decision to hire a security guard

The meetings had been planned for Saturday and he had banned homosexual men from attending as well as all women.

If a pretty girl approached a man attending, his advice online to followers was 'Get her number and then tell her to buzz off. Do not allow women to attend the meeting.'

He said he could 'no longer guarantee the safety or privacy of the men who want to attend'.

In a statement he posted online, he apologized to his supporters and said they would be let down. But he was widely mocked and described by some as 'Roosh the Douche'.

Valizadeh graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in microbiology and soon after started a local blog called DC Bachelor

His first book called Bang was 'a textbook for picking up girls and getting laid.' He wrote several other books with the word 'Bang' in the title such as 'Day Bang'.

In America, he was placed on a 'misogyny list' by the social justice organization Southern Poverty Law Center.

But Valizadeh celebrates the title given to him when he visited Romania of 'World Don Juan.'

The U.K. government has called for him to be 'ridiculed' and welcomed the cancellation of his meetings.

Both Canada and Australian governments also condemned his organization for its views on women.
