Self proclaimed "dating guru" Julien Blanc has been banned from entering Singapore where he was due to teach a seminar on seducing women.
Blanc, who is an "international leader in dating advice" for a Los Angeles based company Real Social Dynamics, travels around the world and teaches the seminars which have been branded as sexist and misogynistic.
As a part of his tactic in dating women, Blanc encourages men to use physical violence and mental abuse.
Singapore is the third and latest country to ban Blanc following Britain and Australia where citizens signed petitions urging their government to prevent Blanc from entering.
Blanc was kicked out of Australia and denied a visa by Britain.
In a statement about the decision to ban Blanc, authorities declared: violence against women or any persons is against Singapore law.

This is an incredibly worrying turn of events. To think that a twitter-mob can actually get someone banned from the country because they don't like them is truly medieval. What precedent does this set? People today have no respect for freedom of movement, freedom of speech.

His stuff works. There are videos available proving he can get beautiful women's phone numbers. You just hate the reality that 'game' works. Men have to approach women if they're going to find a girlfriend at some point. There's nothing wrong with what Julien Blanc does. He's not broken any laws and yet he's banned from the UK because of feminists. That proves how powerful a lobby group the feminists are, and how biased the media is for demonising him like this. If a woman did something similar on men to what he does to women, the media wouldn't have even mentioned it and the woman would not be banned from any country. It's typical of the double standards of feminism.

What really saddens me is all of the HATE being generated in these comments towards Julien. Everyone that is insulting him, wishing death upon him because he was singled out by feminist groups. You're only generating more hate. Of course, you idiots are not focused on REAL issues and crimes like the sex slavery/murders in the Middleeast that ISIS is currently orchestrating. No, you're focused on a dating coach who is completely misunderstood, who has to my knowledge never been accused of forcing/raping a girl, or has never been charged/convicted of any crime. I have been following RSD and Julien for years. Their message is positive and in no way shape or form promotes violence against women.

This scuzzball's company features significantly in the book The Game, which is a pretty fascinating look at this subculture. The author gets a little too close to the whole thing but even despite that, the fact that these are intensely broken people often shines through.

I am a survivor of sexual violence/intimate partner violence, and I believe the world must stand in solidarity and unilaterally CONDEMN abuse and violence of all kinds. I have three daughters, and I hope to create a world that is safer for them than it has been for women in previous generations

Building a business around the promotion of violence against women (or against anyone) should be considered a felony.
