By analogy to the other questions, it should be something like "How would you describe your opinion of pick-up artistry, as you understand the term?" and either a link to an external page describing PUA or a short inline explanation as with the HBD question. You could try to tease apart descriptive and normative claims, but note that no such distinction is attempted with e.g. the feminism question.

I don't think that's good. PUA isn't simply a political view. It's a set of behaviors and if you want to know whether someone engages in them, the label isn't the core issue.
