In any case, the same contempt for PUA, for the wrong reasons, did resurface in this discussion, such as here, and here.

Um, neither of those comments shows contempt for PUA, in my estimation. SarahC expressed confusion, and Alicorn made an observation about a group that merely overlaps the bottom-feeding layer of PUA.

So, yes, I still think you're worrying too much. What's more, I don't think that your protests have ever actually helped the situation - if anything, they create more polarization, and further the impression that you're a low-status male protesting the status quo is unfair to you.

Meanwhile, to the extent that your remarks are successful in scaring off people who'd otherwise participate and maybe get one of their biases overcome or a misconception sorted out, you're doing a disservice to everyone. How do you think people get any greater empathy, except by engaging with their wrong ideas, so they can learn that they're wrong?

So all the ominous saber-rattling isn't helping anyone -- not even you.
