Heidi Matthews's is a Canadian law professor who's done interviews with several different podcasts about all the issues with the #metoo movement. I highly recommend listening to her. On the surface, bringing attention to sexual abuse is not bad and it is important to bring out how much of it exists. At the same time, prosecution requires evidence and it's very difficult to prove these types of crimes. Many people prominent in the metoo movement want legislative changes, which are quite worrisome. RMS is an interesting case. He is a weird one. He's idealistic, in some cases to a fault. The guy refuses to buy AmTrak tickets because he can't buy them in cash and doesn't want to be tracked. I can admire is idealism in some ways, even thought it is a bit extreme. He also has rubbed a number of women the wrong way, is a kinda weird dude, and has a lot of controversial political opinions. I do agree his words from the original e-mails were twisted in most of the call outs for him to be removed. It may have still been a stupid thing to say, but there is discussion and then there's like "You need to go," and the later is happening a lot right now and it's pretty distributing. It has a chilling effect and it's going to make more people afraid to say anything. I highly recommend the book The Coddling of the American Mind, which goes into depth on this new emergent call-out culture in academia today.
