A Pick Up Artist or PUA is a member of a subculture (the Seduction Community) that teaches men tactics to seduce women. Feminist critiques of Pick Up Artistry include: * some of the stereotypes of women promoted are quite sexist and racist * many PUA techniques treat women as almost completely interchangable with each other * many PUAs themselves treat women as almost completely interchangable with each other * many PUAs see the community as a game where they compete with other men for who can seduce the most women (which is reinforced with terms like "player" and "score") * some PUA techniques and PUAs themselves are actively predatory and abusive * many PUA techniques rely on heterocentric assumptions
