You are talking about a brilliant man actually getting fired, vs some hypothetical what-if that hasn't been proven.
Why not go after actual occurrences of discrimination, rather than assuming anytime some speaks out in a non-PC manner, that it means they are also going to discriminate against others? This is arresting for murder before it happens. It's the canonical example of "thought crime".

"Christ, why would I want to work there near this guy" leading to women leaving the community produces the same outcome as organized discrimination. If RMS had just thought this stuff in his head he'd be fine. His actions harm the community. This is the exact opposite of a "thought crime".
- topmonk 7y agoSorry, you're right. I didn't realize the extent of his problematic behavior.
