AUSTRALIA (MELBOURNE): US “pick-up artist” Julien Blanc has cut short his Australian tour after having his visa cancelled in the wake of protests against his seminars, which promote dangerous and abusive behaviour towards women. The immigration minister, Scott Morrison, said: This guy [...] was putting forward abuse that was derogatory to women and that’s just something, those are values abhorred in this country.” Australians were outraged after discovering Blanc, a so-called “date coach”, was holding seminars to teach men how to “pick up” women using physical force and emotional abuse. Venues in Melbourne refused to host his events after protesters highlighted his videos, Twitter feeds and photos promoting violence against women and abuse as a means of attracting them.
