"Is it sexual assault if I do that to my girlfriend of 5 years?"

It is if she says it is. That's the whole point, you don't decide, the circumstances don't decide, only she can decide.
Not sure I agree with the parent poster, but I think he/she is well aware of the distinction you're drawing, and says so up front. Certainly, legal freedom-of-speech protections don't require Kickstarter to host any particular content. But Kickstarter can still espouse freedom of speech as a value they try to uphold in their practices, even if they're under no legal obligation to do so. I think as more and more of our online interactions move to hosted platforms, we have to decide as a society whether or not we want the hosts of those platforms to police our speech. Those spaces can either be free-speech spaces or safe spaces, but probably not both, and there's a legitimate discussion about societal norms to be had about where we want that balance to fall, independent of this particular rather-icky example (and let's face it: most examples that bring this discussion to light are probably going to be icky).
First off, I'm also married and have never read a seduction book. However, I'd like to quote some other comments from this thread to refute you.

> The thing that the commenters on social media are leaving out is that the advice was taken from a section in the guide offering advice on what to do AFTER a man has met a cute girl, gotten her phone number, gone on dates, spent time getting to know her, and now are alone behind closed doors fooling around. If "Don't wait for signs, make the first move" promotes sexual assault, then "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid was a song about rape.

> And all seduction guides do is offer advise on how to do that, but somehow what is acceptable for every issue of Cosmo (and a fair number of mens magazines) isn't acceptable for a guide on kickstarter.

Also, would all women who have seen the full story and context call it assault? Would they call it assault in real life? Probably not.
> Is it sexual assault if I do that to my girlfriend of 5 years?

Do you need to read a how-to book in order to seduce your girlfriend of 5 years?
The lack of context given in the blog post is what seems to have fueled this groupthink storm.
Never seen an ad done well on vine. Tasteful, succinct and classy. Kudos.

Reminds me of minbox but with less loud words blasting in my face to the sound of Nicki Minaj's ass.
Just to be clear, because this is something misogynists like to pick on, both matter. The point of this is that you can't assume their consent just because you do.

Of course, men who don't have experience with not having the power to consent struggle with this idea.
A couple of points:

1) The project creator has freedom of speech to a point. For one, he cannot yell "Fire" in a crowded theater unless there actually is a fire. He also cannot advocate or call for illegal activity by others (such as "Go and mug that guy walking down the street"). This is where the line of protected speech gets blurred. Reading some excerpts from his works it's clear that he advocates for aggressive physical/sexual contact with or without permission, to the point of making the woman struggle to rebuff advances. Basically this is borderline sexual assault depending on how good of a lawyer you have.

2) Whether or not it is within the project creator's right to publish this as free speech, Kickstarter has their own interests in mind. By facilitating funding for this project, they may open themselves to legal liability if someone going by the guidelines set in the book does end up sexually assaulting someone.

To address what I see as the core of your comment, I agree that an old fashion book burning / banning is not the answer. Just understand that this work dances the line between protected and unprotected speech, and Kickstarter does not want to play a part in that. Also understand that there is a significant difference between Kickstarter not allowing a certain project (or class of projects), and the government declaring a topic to be unpublishable.

IANAL, so everything I'm saying comes from one vague semester of business law.

Amen. Just amen.

I've worked on at least a couple of open source projects now that have a strong and active core team building everything, and who are talented enough to write great code. But when it's almost time to launch v1.0, the call always goes around: "Who's willing to write the documentation?" And the response is always silence. Documenting just isn't as "fun" as coding, I guess.

But it is, arguably, at least as important if not more, if your goal involves popularity. I recommend open source software projects to groups who are looking for an open source solution, and the ones with an active support community and good documentation, but some sloppy code, win every time over the expertly coded masterpiece that can only really be understood by stepping through the code in a debugger.
Can anyone recommend a good source for background information about bees? 25,000 sounds like a huge number, but some quick googling (no idea how reliable the sources are) seems to indicate that's about the number of bees in a hive.

I'd like to have a better idea of whether this story is closer to, "Exterminators spray beehive, all the bees die" or "Colony collapse disorder threatens the existence of all life on earth"

Seriously?

Why do so many publishers make their content so hard to read?

(Once I fixed that with inspectElement, the article was good.)
I saw you mentioned Vietnam a few times in the blog post. Perhaps it will be on your next immersive trip :) I lived there for a few years and for those who have US based business but can work anywhere in the world I highly recommend Saigon. It has amazing food, close to several pristine beaches/islands and many cosmo cities (KL,HK,BKK,Singapore,etc) Plus it is cheap and Internet (both landbased and 3g) are quite fast.
Pumps vary dramatically in speed. My car has a 15.8 gallon tank, and it can easily take a couple of minutes to fill up (in Virginia).
Are you of the opinion that all libertarians think this way? None of the ones I know would fail to understand this.

Good lord, you need to look into the context of the cherry-picked quotes from the guide.
Sorry, but if you're using a Disney film as an example of a good portrayal of women, you've already lost.
I would recommend a couple strategies..

1.) Take a page out of the Buffer playbook and start guest blogging everywhere you can.

2.) If it is truly easy to use (more so than competitors) then I would demonstrate that. (Video, Gif, Vine video of someone searching, etc)

3.) Your core value proposition isn't immediately recognizable when one lands on your home page. Why should I use this site for my home search? Why is this better than the other guy? Etc...

4.) Reach out to agents in the area and offer to help them out in some way. Partnerships, referrals, asking them to guest blog on your site to build their rep, etc.

Just a few ideas, hope that helps!
Ask 100 women if they find it romantic to be kissed without being asked or if they want to be asked first. I'm pretty sure the answer is: being kissed, don't ask.

The author writes on reddit:

IMPORTANT NOTE ON RESISTANCE:
If at any point a girl wants you to stop, she will let you know. If she says "STOP," or "GET AWAY FROM ME," or shoves you away, you know she is not interested. It happens. Stop escalating immediately and say this line:
"No problem. I don't want you to do anything you aren't comfortable with."
Memorize that line. It is your go-to when faced with resistance. Say it genuinely, without presumption. All master seducers are also masters at making women feel comfortable. You'll be no different. If a woman isn't comfortable, take a break and try again later.

So I really don't see where this is assault by not asking first.

Thing is, if you try to kiss her and she doesn't want it, she'll turn away and that's it.
brilliant analogy apart from the bit where this guide actually does advocate sexual assault.
I think I did, and I still find the content deeply revolting.
Tesla's competition, from the perspective of performance and price, is very guzzly cars.
> until now Kickstarter has been neutral on legal content

From their guidelines:

No offensive material (hate speech, etc.); pornographic material; or projects endorsing or opposing a political candidate.
I'd normally agree with your rules for an apology (eg. after a breach) but in this case I think their aggressive tone creates a Streisand effect. I for one had never heard of this guy. He certainly seems to be gaining some fans among commenters here.

I think he mostly means the clarity of a screen capture vs. a shaky shot of a physical screen. I like the indy feel of this but it did give me a headache to watch (even though it's only a few seconds). If you want to feature the actual phone, maybe have it resting on a hard surface or otherwise steadied.
I'll probably get down voted for this, but reading through what was written, and based on the fact woman LOVE the book, 50 shades of grey. I'm kind of lost as to why on one side everyones offended, and on the other side its what they desire... Yet get offended.
Somewhat related: There's another site called http://offbeatr.com/ which is like Kickstarter, except it is exclusively for porn, sex toys, erotic art/literature/games, and other such adult projects. I don't know if they are perceived as "slimy" or not, but there are a lot of interesting, innovative projects on offbeatr.

For most of the world, you get a 30 day visa exemption if you fly in to Thailand. You get a 15 day exemption if you enter Thailand over land.

If you're outside of Thailand, you can get a 60 day visa for about $30, and that can be extended a further 30 days once inside Thailand for another fee (I never did this, but I think it's around another $30.) The consulates in countries around Thailand are aware of people entering, leaving and getting a new visa, then re-entering. Certain consulates will almost always give the visa, some will deny if they see repeat visits - it really depends on the guy looking at the paperwork at the time sometimes.

For example, when I was there last year, the consulate in Penang, Malaysia was known to give back to back 60 day visas as long as you never did the 30 day extension. But they wouldn't give the multiple entry visas that basically give you the 60 days + 30 days extension each time you enter the country for 2-3 entries.

So, were they also wrong to allow Cards Against Humanity?
> Also, would all women who have seen the full story and context call it assault? Would they call it assault in real life? Probably not.

The point of this exercise is to be proactive about not hurting people. "Would they call it assault?" is a question that should simply not be on the table.

This isn't a difficult concept.
Haha, wow. It's like going to a civil war reenactment where everyone adhere strictly to period customs and vernacular.

Unfortunately they forgot center tags and to capitalize all of their HTML. I was going to say it's missing a table-based layout, but then I recalled that the height of geocities' popularity was earlier than I remember seeing table-based layouts everywhere.

It's really not very assuring when they state on the front page that they "hope" they can get enough money each month so they can pay the server bills.
That's a very naive thought

Do you think that women in the meanwhile, has been just poor victims?
Don't forget that women are generally way ahead of men in human skills.

Men and women have, their own forms of dominance.
I agree that physical dominance is despicable, but don't think that the forms of dominance were going only in a single direction.
Actually, you can migrate slowly.
Create a second password column on your database to store your new hash. When a user logs in check if the new column is blank. If it is check that they entered the password correctly by verifying against your MD5 hash. If it is correct rehash their plain text and store it in the new column.

If the new column isn't blank, then the have already logged in and you have the new hash, so verify against the new hash. As everyone logs into your website, you'll have a new set of, more secure, hashes. For those that are inactive you can either delete them, assign a random password and email them, or let their MD5 password hash sit there forever.
Well ideally, you'd buy it because it's something you can't live without, so you'd bring it with you, and leave some extra space in your bag for such things, or jettison something which you deem less valuable.
Please write a blog post about this!!

And the book says "If she says no, stop immediately".

My point was that I would hope I don't have to ask permission after 5 years without it being sexual assault, therefore whether that action is sexual assault is context dependent.
But judging this content as creepy and rapey is quite puritanical.

All this screams about rape for something that sums up to "you're about to have sex? Don't ask her to grab your dick, guide her hand to it".
All you need to do is sign in with a Twitter account. As far as I know, that doesn't cost you money.
The author defends it pretty well.

The $60 visa to visit Vietnam for 5 days is a bit steep, unless you qualify for a free visa I guess.
Maybe there's something wrong with me, but the video moves way too fast for me to process. Of course, making me feel stupid creates negative associations with the product.

I agree.

I think you are explaining your product with fairy dust and pixies at the moment whereas more useful businessy type words may convey your value better.
Ah, pretty poorly worded sarcasm there.
If I'm in a club and I pull my dick out and forcibly place a random woman's hand on it, then of course that's sexual assault.

If I do the same thing in a bedroom with a woman who I've already been (consensually) fondling, is it?
Throughout the Instinctive Drowning Response, drowning people cannot voluntarily control their arm movements. Physiologically, drowning people who are struggling on the surface of the water cannot stop drowning and perform voluntary movements such as waving for help, moving toward a rescuer, or reaching out for a piece of rescue equipment.

They won't reach out for it, but if it happens to be within their reach they'll grab it.
What I dislike most about these discussions is that it invariably attracts ideologues of all stripes, of which you appear to be one.

> "Women are sensitive, fragile, inferior creatures who require constant, vigilant protection from honorable men.

> Kudos to Kickstarter for adhering to feminist principles."

You're attacking a straw man with ad-hominems.

More importantly, you're glossing over the fact that women legitimately face threats and concerns that are significantly different from those of men. It's disingenuous to paint this as a plot by evil feminists.

Relevant :

"More than one in three women worldwide have experienced physical
or sexual violence, a report by the World Health Organization
and other groups says.

It says 38% of all women murdered were killed by their partners,
and such violence is a major contributor to depression and other
health problems." [1]

I am straight, white, formerly republican, and find all of those things apalling when they happen. I didn't need to get burned by the fire to recognize that it burns.
Look at you, unable to understand that things aren't binary and that it is possible to be interested in seduction guides and wanting to have consensual sex with attractive women without wanting to rape them.

It might even, gasp, be possible that women wants to have sex with men. Have you considered that.
"Take your exposed penis, and thrust it into her vagina. Don't wait for her to put it in for you. Be dominant."

That could be instructions for rape. Or it could be instructions for the kind of a sex that millions of straight couples have every day. It all depends on the quote's context, right?

Right?

So stop taking quotes out of context from the author.

> If women are loudly saying "This is assault.", you need to take them at their word, because it is their judgment, it is their consent that matters. Not yours.

Your language is intentionally misleading. What matters is the woman with whom you're interacting. Feminist internet commenters can neither give consent nor take it away. And the author is severely explicit about respecting consent. His quotes are being butchered.
Agreed and now about a million more people will have heard about this project that otherwise probably wouldn't have.

This reminds me a little of when The Last Temptation of Christ came out in the late 80's. All the bible-thumpers were screaming about how blasphemous it was and that everyone should boycot it. Which, of course, people being people they did the exact opposite and had to endure what turned out to be a pretty bad film.
According to who? Your opinion? Did you even read the author's defense?
> Freedom of Speech goes out the window when you start dealing with private enterprise.

Why? And before you answer, take a quick survey of all the means you used to communicate today. How many of them were provided by 'private enterprise?' And how much of your day was spent on property owned by 'private enterprise?'

Not that we're going to resolve this debate in a thread :) but please consider the implications of this assumption. Also note I'm not advocating for a say anything you want whenever, wherever world.
that is the point :)
The same women that scream "assault", are very likely to have taking the of a stranger, consensually, in their hand, at least once in their lives.

What you naively don't know, is that in this field, the culture is very far from reality. Some ahem "people" would scream horror to things that they would secretly do.

It's nothing new under the sun.
You could add a second password column to your users. Then if that column is empty, authenticate against the old password. If it passes, hash the password (just supplied by the user) with bcrypt and store it in the new column.

Over time, active users get their password upgraded.

Then after a longer time, just reset the passwords of the users who never logged in since you started migrating.

It contradicts their brand identity to some extent. But they're a corporation like any other, so if their financial ends are served by subjecting themselves to populist whims, that's just life. One could try to compete with them on that angle. Indiegogo, for instance, seems to attract people who find Kickstarter restrictive (also Europeans).
This is, of course, equating this guide to a manual for sexism and not what the majority of women find attractive.
No. This is ludicrous revisionism, and you should be ashamed for saying it.

You do not get to treat a group of people as property for thousands of years, and then when they finally claw a measure of autonomy back from you say, "Well, that about evens the score."
Don't forget to delete the value in the md5 column, otherwise the whole exercise is for naught.

I'm not using a Disney film as an example of a good portrayal of women, and neither is the author of the seduction book.

The implication is that the Disney movie, made and marketed for children, has a song called "Kiss the girl" which is about as rape-y as the advice in the seduction manual. Which is to say not at all.
I think what you're experiencing here is a crowd that isn't satisfied with claims of intrinsic wrongness that don't include evidence. You do realize that you're not allowed to just state opinions as facts, right? That's not really how arguments work around here.
