He is scheduled to arrive in the UK for a tour dates later this month, where he will advise men how to "game" women in a seminars.
Speaking to The Guardian, Ms Featherstone said: "As the Home Office minister with responsibility for tackling violence against women and girls, I am extremely concerned by the sexist and utterly abhorrent statements Julien Blanc has made about women.
"If he was allowed to perform in the UK I have no doubt that cases of sexual harassment and intimidation would increase."
Controversial videos of Blanc's behaviour at his seminars have apparently seen him telling an audience: "At least in Tokyo, if you're a white male, you can do what you want. I'm just romping through the streets, just grabbing girls' heads, just like, head, pfft on the d**k. Head, on the d**k, yelling, 'pikachu.'" He was then seen to demonstrate this with a female member of the public.
His 'Pimp my Game' website also promises to "make girls beg to sleep with you after short-circuiting their emotional and logical mind".
It adds that "it's offensive, it's inappropriate, it's emotionally scarring, but it's damn effective... just kidding..."
Blanc promoted his work using hashtag #ChokingGirlsAroundtheWorld.
Labour has also challenged May to ban him from visiting Britain. In a letter to the Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper urged officials to "gather further evidence about his activities, with a view to exercising your exclusion powers to prevent him coming to the UK".
