Also, I’m struck by the extent to which feminism and PUA theorists provide independent confirmation for each other. For example, feminists and, say, PUAs of the Roissy variety will agree that some innocuous-seeming action is intended to infantilize women. The feminists and Roissy just disagree about whether it is right to act that way with that intent. They agree about the “is” claim; they just disagree about the “ought” implications. I typically side with the feminists on the “ought” questions in these cases, but I can appreciate the PUAs for corroborating the underlying “is” claim.
Indeed, I noticed several such similarities when it comes to “is” as well. Perhaps if I had never been exposed to PUA, my perception of the gain when it comes to rent in anticipated experience from feminism might have been quite a bit higher.
