In Australia there has been a huge controversy about a supposedly pro-rape group having meetups in the major cities.

​This claim struck me as a highly dubious (who the heck wants to legalise rape?), so I did a little digging and found the article from which the pro-rape quotes come from: http://www.rooshv.com/how-to-stop-rape 

Maybe I'm mad, but that article strikes me as obviously satirical. Its whole tone is tongue in cheek from the beginning. This guy is everything you'd expect someone calling themselves a pick up artist would be (he also seems to personally have admitted to rape, if the excerpts from his books being posted are true - though I don't necessarily trust they are). But he obviously isn't fighting to legalise rape. The ideological fuelled hysteria in the media, seemingly with the original purpose of shutting down those who dissent from left-liberal identity politics (as silly as this Roosh figure is), is shocking to me, as is much of the journalism involved from supposedly mainstream and reputable sources. I have seen protest pages fuelled by this hysteria that contain not just copious threats of violence but lots of bragging about the fact there is no general free speech protection in Australia. One of the organisers of a major Sydney protest actually wrote a screed against the notion of civil liberties, because apparently they allow oppressors to maintain their privilege and oppression. I fear for the future of liberty and just basic order in the West.
