Is the Toronto Newsgirls boxing club intimidating outside of the boxing ring? You betcha.
After Return of Kings, an anti-feminist website whose founder wrote that raping women in private should be legalized and considered "learning experiences," was planning a meet-up, the Newsgirls wanted to meet them, too.
"The photos of us will show women that being powerful is an option," Newsgirls founder Savoy Howe told Toronto Metro News. "And I think that's what needs to happen against this douche bag."
Daryush Valizadeh, the Return of Kings founder who calls himself "Roosh V," has since decided to cancel the meet-ups because, in his words, "I can no longer guarantee the safety or privacy of the men who want to attend on February 6."

Or, in other words, the Return of Kings doesn't stand a chance against the Newsgirls.
