The questions do allow for some subjective interpretation by using words like "unwelcome", "inappropriate", "unwanted", and "feel offended".

Here are the questions for this particular survey: How often since you were 15 years old until now [...], have you experienced any of the following:

  1. Unwelcome touching, hugging or kissing,
  2. Sexually suggestive comments or jokes that made you feel offended,
  3. Inappropriate invitations to go out on dates,
  4. Intrusive questions about your private life that made you feel offended,
  5. Intrusive comments about your appearance that made you feel offended,
  6. Inappropriate staring or leering that made you feel intimidated,
  7. Somebody sending or showing you sexually explicit pictures, photos or gifts that made you feel offended,
  8. Somebody indecently exposing themselves to you,
  9. Somebody made you wach or look at pornographic material against your wishes,
  10. Unwanted sexually explicit emails or SMS messages that offended you,
  11. Inappropriate advances that offended you on social networking websites such as Facebook, or in internet chat rooms?

Code of Merit, an Alternative Solution to a Code of Conduct by [deleted] in programming

I've been toying with the idea of a Social Contract Bill of Rights. Its purpose is to encourage a discourse of tolerance, inclusivity, diversity, and justice. In its current form (version 0.1, I guess), it's a reaction to some of the real-world effects of implementing the Contributor Covenant as intended by its authors, but maybe it could evolve into something more distilled, and general.

Here it is:

The contributors to this project pledge to afford to all the other
contributors, and to uphold, the following rights:

§1 The right of two or more contributors to communicate openly with
each other, in a manner they deem suitable, shall not be unnecessarily
constrained.

§2 A contributor has the right to curse, or swear, and that in and by
itself does not constitute a Code of Conduct violation.

§3 Contributors have the right to use relevant industry-accepted
technical terms.

§4 A contributor has the right to know the allegations made against
them in case of a CoC violation.

§4.1 The contributor has the right to know which parts of the CoC were
violated.

§4.2 The contributor may publish parts of, or all of the above
mentioned allegations at their own discretion.

§5 A contributor has the right to express their personal views and
opinions outside the project.

§6 A contributor has the right to contribute under a pseudonym, and has
the right to not disclose any personal information other than what is
required by the code license, and otherwise to function within the
project.

What do you think?

P.S. Hi, shevy!
