Revision as of 13:04, 19 August 2014
A Pick Up Artist or PUA is a member of a subculture (the Seduction Community) that teaches men tactics to seduce women.
Feminist critiques of Pick Up Artistry include:
- some of the stereotypes of women promoted are quite sexist and racist
- many PUA techniques treat women as almost completely interchangable with each other
- many PUAs themselves treat women as almost completely interchangable with each other
- many PUAs see the community as a game where they compete with other men for who can seduce the most women (which is reinforced with terms like "player" and "score")
- some PUA techniques and PUAs themselves are actively predatory and abusive
- many PUA techniques rely on heterocentric assumptions
