By The call of the Banshee is usually not something one wants to follow but can, on occasion, lead to an interesting discovery. Such is the case when Jezebel reported the successful removal of a “guide to date rape” from Amazon. Accidental
systematic misandry showed its ugly face in this case when Amazon,
while de-listing that particular book, still happily sells titles like Valerie Solanas’ SCUM Manifesto,
which promotes the extermination of the male sex. (I really wonder what
would happen to a guy who wanted to publish a “satirical” book on the
extermination of the female sex.)
While this article could address
censorship, systemic misandry, or Jezebel as a harbinger of social
collapse, I’ve chosen instead to discuss erroneous PUA thinking as
exemplified by the ebook LMR Exposed by
a PUA named Vincent Vinturi who promotes some, shall we say, rather
risky techniques. (“LMR” stands for Last Minute Resistance.)
To be perfectly clear, dating is inherently ambiguous. The feminist
fantasy of “enthusiastic consent” is bullshit.
What you experience in
real life is that interested women will give off “maybe” signals. They
may play with their hair and smile from ear to ear while tempting you
with seductive glances but, at the end of the date, the burden to
approach is typically on you.
Where most PUAs go completely overboard is when they conflate
interest that is not well-articulated with clearly articulated
disinterest. Just have a look at the opening of the sales letter of LMR Exposed:
