Twitter at the speed of parenting
Also, fuck Marvin Minsky for protecting Stallman from the consequences of his actions.

If you have any friends who think it was an overreaction to fire Stallman over one email thread, or who persist in nitpicking what he did or did not say in said email thread, send them this: https://medium.com/@thomas.bushnell/a-reflection-on-the-departure-of-rms-18e6a835fd84 …

In the context of child rape, protecting a creeper is small potatoes, but fuck him all the same.

i believe there is a huge difference between people like kavanaugh and weinstein and people like stallman. stallman did what he did because he was autistic, needed affection or sth like that. he did not use his power or hide. i feel sorry for him.

Blaming “autism” for his shitty behavior is an insult to the vast majority of autistic people who are NOT misogynistic assholes.
-
It is lack of social skills. Maybe it comes from autism, maybe not. I am not a doctor and i did not suggest that all autistic people behave like this towards women.
-
Social skills are learned, by autistic and neurotypical people. They might be harder to learn for the former, but a person willing to learn will. Stallman was confronted with his behavior violating CoC of conferences - he chose to move it across the street. That's not autism.

I dedicated my Masters' thesis to Stallman. Rarely has a man been more justly fired.

The sad part is, a lot of male colleagues never realized their male privilege has been blinding them to the hurt perpetrated by this type of behaviour--nay, MINDSET. Like how one time a male fiercely objected when I said the phrase "XXX has balls" is sexist AF.
