Before this week, I had never heard of Julien Blanc. Now, it
seems the man is everywhere, including Singapore!
It all started when Brazil (of all country) decided to rejected
Blanc’s visa application. The reason? Blanc is a self-proclaimed pick-up artist
who teaches seminars on how to pick up women. His methods involve physical and
emotional abuse, including choking women. Many have used social media to slam
his teachings as misogynistic and promoting sexual violence.
Now a petition started by a Singaporean woman, Charis Mah, aims
to ban Blanc from ever entering Singapore. There’s only one problem with that; Blanc
has no plans of ever coming to Singapore!
Wait for a moment; we are trying to ban a man (who has
committed no crime) from entering Singapore even though he is not trying to
enter Singapore? Ever heard of jumping on a bandwagon?
