I understand most misogyny accusations against him are wrong. And every accusations that do not involve misogyny are wrong.
I also understand than the few misogyny accusations that are true aren't really misogyny from his point of view, because he is just naturally awkward, and would probably fumble just as hard with males if he was gay. So it was a bit unjust, the attention he received from media.
That said, I am a guy who received 'attentions' from a superior (f) once. I wish I had spoken up at the time, but this should be exised from our culture. It shouldn't matter if you are neuroatypical like Stallman or not, this comportment belongs to the 70s/80s, and should be called out every time, no matter who does it. The workplace isn't a matchmaking facility.
I know this is hard when you are on the spectrum, had to learn to lie and how to recognize emotions to follow ineffective social rules (like no flirting in the workplace when this might be the best place to find a person with common interests!). But I repeat, you had to _learn to lie_, often by yourself, sometimes with a psychologist help, and probably managed to surmont greater incomprehensible social rules than 'do not flirt where inappropriate'
