RooshV has being filling facebook timelines over the last 24 hours for his recent planned trip to Scotland.
To start, I watched one of his talks on the BBC documentary "Reggie Yates Extreme UK" and it infuriated me, like it would most women and no doubt men too. This man is incredibly mysgonistic and in my opinion an giant attention seeker. However in the last 24 hours a petition has surfaced to stop him coming to Scotland to give a talk on his views.
I will not be signing this petition and here is why.
First of all, we are not a nanny state - we are a democracy and we cant stop people from sharing their views. Just because he speaks to a few people in Scotland doesn't mean he will change the way men see women, I have more faith in our men than that!
Secondly, the fact that RooshV has covered my timeline in the last 24 hours has angered me. Why does he deserve this publicity? As a man with extremist views, like every extremist, he thrives on media and public attention. Therefore all these petitions and outcries are playing right into his hands, afterall its free advertising for him!
Therefore in summary, I may not agree with his views and I can assume most of you wont either, however he is still a human being with the right to an opinion, and we can't stop that!
How to tackle this problem? Ignore it! Ignore him and don't give him the attention that he wants and does not deserve.
