So... PUA's. Anyone not familiar with these groups?

Just as with MRA's, there are reportedly some non-scumbag varieties.

Also just like MRA's, they're now on the SPLC's radar.

(Warning: the content on these sites is graphic and disturbing.)

HuffPo thinks it's a big joke.

A skim through the comments is not recommended.


The awesome David Futrelle at manboobz.com recently featured a reason why this maybe doesn't qualify as some big joke. I don't go to the creep's websites, so I don't know how popular they are, but he apparently makes enough money selling books that he no longer lives in his parents' basement.

I would guess their greatest successes would be with roofies and date rape.

What is the problem with sexual honesty? If the answer to, "hey I'm not looking for a relationship but I'd love to have sex with you is no", then what's the big deal?
The thing with casual sex and women, is unlike men, orgasm is NOT guaranteed. Not even a little bit.

Why take a chance with some guy, who might take some asinine how-to-appear-romantic-and-get-laid (or whatever) class and makes what he thinks are the 'right' moves, but is clearly an idiot-- I mean just Ew. Ew ew ew.

That's a perfect recipe for mondo creep vibes. I don't care what their claimed success rate is.

So thoroughly contemptuous of women.

At least feminist separatists want nothing to do with men. Men who hate women all too often still want at least one thing to do with them.
