I'm sad they got Stallman. It was only a matter of time, though.

The guy is very famous for his black & white thinking and ascribing a lot of importance to using the correct word to convey a specific meaning. Gone from a lot of his thinking is intent and emotion behind word choices, which is part of the reason as to why he comes off as a creep to a lot of women. (Lack of emotional empathy + high sex drive = creepiness + a couple of balancing constants.)

As someone who is also somewhat neuroatypical it's only a matter of time before I use the wrong word or misread a signal and then 'they' will come for me, too - to hang my job and my positions as a trophy on the wall in some imaginary struggle against Patriarchy, or something. Hell if I know. The difference is that I'm not planning to roll over and "wish there was some way to fix the misunderstanding."

Hey there neurotypical. How often do you have this fantasy of a final confrontation with the civil rights activists?
