> As an active feminist and one who has witnessed much bad behavior among tech CEOs over the past 30 years, I think that accusing Richard Stallman of not supporting women, gays, or any other minority group is false. Look at his real history — […] — but his record in helping to give everyone in the world access to free software.
What kind of bullshit is this? Stallman's advocacy for open source in no way whatsoever makes him a champion for women, gay people, or any other marginalized group, and does not even remotely excuse his behavior.
Sylvia, calling yourself a feminist doesn't actually make you one.

- ng12 7y agoThat's a good question, how is it decided? Is there a tribunal?
