money to be "taught." It also hurts the men who buy into the PUA schtick by magnifying their self esteem problems: "I took this course that makes other guys successful in picking up women, and I STILL can't pick up a woman."

So, yes, it hurts women in the longer run by creating hostility toward women and feelings of entitlement among the men who listen to the PUA crap. But before it gets around to that, it hurts men.

And again, I say, men need to stop treating each other so badly.
