I'm no PUA, but it suddenly hit me the Julien Blanc visa withdrawal issue is really about women struggling with themselves. Pickup artists like Julien Blanc can be viewed not as "alpha males", but as men who have highly developed the art of giving women what they want, but other women, and in particular feminists, refuse to acknowledge this darker part of what women want.

We know that women want this behavior, because otherwise they wouldn't respond favorably to it, and no one would listen to these PUA speakers because there would be no evidence of their success. To blame PUAs is like blaming suppliers for market demand.

This has nothing to do with men's rights, of course. It just goes to the heart of the problem with feminism and the way it has been manipulating men for decades.

For feminists, it has to be turned into an issue of violence against women because otherwise feminists would have to acknowledge that women are responding favorably to this, so feminists and moralists pick up on one tiny aspect of his behavior shown in a few seconds of a very long video where he was really just fooling around in a juvenile way, and the women were predictably giggling, and oh the horror, it's flashing red on the rape continuum and something has to be done. If it weren't construed as violence against women, feminists would have to start criticizing the women who respond favorably to men who behave like this, and that would never do.

It's all hysterical moralising feminists trying to deny the darker part of themselves and projecting their denial unto the men who are simply giving them what they want.

Julien Blanc has committed no crime, and if he had done, why can't he be prosecuted in the domains he's committed them in the normal way?
