To Theresa May, Home Secretary
UK Home Office, UK Visas & Immigration
The Immigration Services Commissioner, OISC:

As UK residents, we call on you to deny Julien Blanc and his associates a UK Visa when his tour reaches the UK on November 21st. He and his association, Real Social Dynamics, promote sexist, racist and abusive approaches to women, and the UK shouldn’t play host to events where men are taught how to violate and harass women under the guise of “dating advice.

UK: Shut down the "Rape Guru"
In Japan he told his students, “Dude, just grab her.” In some seminars he teaches men how to choke women. In another class caught on video he told men they need to “short circuit the emotional and logical mind” of women -- to get them into bed against their consent. He’s an evangelist of rape culture, and he’s coming to the UK in a week -- unless we shut him down.

A self-described American “pick up artist,” Julien Blanc earns thousands for his sick classes, and in a week he’s scheduled to teach a sold out “boot camp” in London. But Julien is running into a PR problem: campaigns in Australia, Canada, Japan and Brazil have just taken off, asking governments to keep him out -- and Australia revoked his visa this week! Now a new petition in the UK is taking off, calling on the Home Office to deny him a visa. It’s the perfect moment to jump on board and put him and his sexist snake oil operation out of business for good.
To allow this man into the UK sends a message that women are objects to be manipulated and preyed on, and it legitimises sexual assault. Not on our watch. Sign now, share with everybody you know, and let’s add the UK to the list of proud countries standing up for the rights of women.
