Julien Blanc and his group, RSD (Real Social Dynamics) are a group of sexist and racist "pick up artists," who have made a living by teaching men how to violate women through physical and emotional abuse.

Do not associate the UK with a man who chokes women around the world as part of his pick up game. Please help us stand with the women of Australia, the women of America, and women everywhere, and do not let the UK play host to events where men are being taught how to violate and harass women. It's not only women who are affected; Blanc's misogynistic 'pick up techniques' directly exploit vulnerable men who buy into rape culture and end up believing that this is an appropriate way to behave.

To allow this man into the UK legitimises sexual assault and predation, and sends a message that women are playthings or objects without agency.

Australia has already taken a stand by revoking his visa, let us demonstrate that we feel the same way about his message.

Here is a transcription of one of his videos, "White Male F**ks Asian Women InTokyo (And The Beautiful Methods To It)":

"At least in Tokyo, if you're a white male, you can do what you want. I'm just romping through the streets, just grabbing girls' heads, just like, head, pfft on the dick. Head, on the dick, yelling, 'pikachu,' with a pikachu shirt."

He is not just doing this in Tokyo. He is doing this all around the world. He is doing this in Denmark and Sydney. A likely outcome of his seminars in the UK would be increased incidence of sexual assault, already at staggering numbers.

His proposed tour dates bring him to the UK on the 21st November - please don't let him in.
