Re: [libreplanet-discuss] Is Stallman nuts?

If it is true that Stallman called these victims as willing. I entirely agree 
with Marry-Anne. The Free Software movement already lacks female support and 
these comments will only push more women away. I as a woman who has also 
suffered harrassment as a child and as an adult, do not want a leader who says 
things that hurt women. Stallman, you cannot do this. We as members must be 
strong and have someone else represent us period. FSF should take a stand and 
provide support for women and actively invite women to a space where we know we 
are supported, believed in and respected.
