In fact, Mumbai is the only Indian city in the list, and the US blogger Roosh Valizadeh, who is organising the meetings, listed the Powai D-Mart as the meet-up spot, from where participants will be taken to the final meeting spot.
Several citizens retweeted and shared a post by a Jordan Rose (@maliagif) who had tweeted: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s 2016 and a US &lsquo;make rape legal&rsquo; group is planning a worldwide anti-woman event in 43 countries.&rdquo;
Cop speak As complaints trickled into the Mumbai Police&rsquo;s Twitter account, the force responded to each of the posts and said they would look into it. Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Deven Bharti said, &ldquo;We have taken note of it and will examine it. We will keep a watch on the meet in Powai, if any.&rdquo;
Sources from the Mumbai police said they suspect it could be a prank, but they will keep an eye out for any suspicious activity at the mentioned time and place.
The tweets shared links to the blog titled &lsquo;Return Of Kings&rsquo;, which claims to be a platform for &lsquo;heterosexual, masculine men&rsquo;. A Jan 19 post on the blog read: &lsquo;We will have 165 meetings in 43 countries for our international meetup day on Feb 6, 2016 at 8 pm local time.&rsquo;
The blog continues: &lsquo;To identify your fellow tribesmen, ask the following question to a man you suspect is there for the meetup: &lsquo;Do you know where I can find a pet shop?&rsquo; If you are asked this question, answer in the affirmative: &lsquo;Yes, it&rsquo;s right here.&rsquo; You can then introduce yourself and get details about where to proceed at 8:20. If you ask someone for the pet shop and they appear confused or actually try to direct you to a real pet shop, they&rsquo;re not there for the meetup.&rsquo;
Tweet to Mumbai Police @MumbaiPolice A &lsquo;Make Rape Legal&rsquo; group is planning meetups in 43 countries, this Saturday. Bombay is on the list. Rachna @confidentlylame
From the blog The Return Of Kings website says, &ldquo;ROK aims to usher the return of the masculine man in a world where masculinity is being increasingly punished and shamed in favour of creating an androgynous and politically-correct society that allows women to assert superiority and control over men. Sadly, yesterday&rsquo;s masculinity is today&rsquo;s misogyny.&rdquo;
