Kickstarter book campaign labeled guide to sexual assault

[The Straight Story]

What one man calls his guide to "getting awesome with women" is being labelled a manual for would-be rapists by others. On Wednesday, popular Reddit user Ken Hoinsky reached the $16,000 mark for a Kickstarter project to turn his "Above The Game" series into a book.

Hoinsky, who goes by TofuTofu on Reddit, claims his step-by-step guide will help men "become the man [they've] always wanted to be." One section on physical escalation and sex with women, however, has received quite a bit of attention.

Here are some excerpts from a Reddit post that Hoinsky wrote, which has since been removed:

Even when a girl rejects your advances, she KNOWS that you desire her. That's hot. It arouses her physically and psychologically.

Never, ever, ever, wait for a SIGN before you escalate! You will miss out on the vast majority of chances if you sit around waiting for SIGNS. Men are notoriously bad at reading women's minds and body language. Don't think that you're any different. From now on you must ASSUME that she is attracted to you and wants to be ravished.

Don't ask for permission. Be dominant. Force her to rebuff your advances.

Many online claimed that Hoinsky's advice encourages men to push women beyond their comfort levels, with one blog labeling the guide "a play-by-play description of sexual assault."


This @Kickstarter project teaches men to ignore women's boundaries, "be dominant," and, well, commit date rape: kickstarter.com/projects/tofut…

1. Misogynistic and stupid at the same time...

takes 30 minutes of observing people at a bar to know that a guy who "pushes women beyond their comfort levels" ends up alone and with no phone number or email addresses (that are valid...for the women who gave them, if any) at the end of the night.
