There are other comments talking about how he has a phobia to plants so women grow them in their offices or wear clothing with plant imagery. This may or may not be true.
I prefer to think that Stallman finds this utterly hilarious and encourages the behavior.
- steveeq1 7y agoThis sounds exaggerated to me. He's socially awkward so it's more likely women are taking his actions the wrong way. Richard Stallman holds ethics in high regard.
- DagAgren 7y agoHow about you just trust the word of women who have actually had to deal with him in person rather than try to imagine what you think he SHOULD be like? Women have been complaining. For a long time. He is a big problem. He has been a big problem for a long time.
- steveeq1 7y agoBecause I know women who have dealt with him and they said he's fine.
- DagAgren 7y agoOr maybe they know how you'd react if they told you the truth, so they don't?
- steveeq1 7y agoOr maybe they're just playing the victim.
- DagAgren 7y agoThanks for demonstrating my point.
- steveeq1 7y agoThey brought no proof, so no. Show something on a cell phone video or whatever. And make it obvious, not something that can be interpreted in other ways. Then I'll believe it. But until that day comes, the burden of proof lies with the woman.
- DagAgren 7y agoReally doubling down on demonstrating my point huh.

A simple google search shows how dubious this is: https://www.google.com/search?q=richard+stallman+plants&safe=active&hl=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiW3oeFo9zkAhX8_XMBHeYYAXUQ_AUIEigB&biw=1680&bih=907 https://www.google.com/search?q=richard+stallman+plants&safe... . Here's one where he's up a tree: https://www.lepoint.fr/technologie/richard-stallman-les-anonymous-ne-doivent-pas-devoiler-de-donnees-personnelles-31-12-2011-1414159_58.php https://www.lepoint.fr/technologie/richard-stallman-les-anon... The whole plant thing seems obviously false so I wouldn't put too much faith in the other claims.
