That this is being framed as a matter of free speech is preposterous. Richard Stallman isn't some low-level engineer. He runs one of the largest and most impactful open source foundations in the world. The question isn't whether it's ok to have these kinds of discussions. Stallman's questions were, to my mind, obtuse and silly, and a 74 year-old shouldn't need those things explained to him, but some people do. The important question is this: is somebody who is this obtuse about rape victims and the difficulties that women face in the workforce fit to lead one of the biggest and most impactful open source organizations in the world? The answer to that is clearly no.
