I'm out of the loop on this one. Why are they pilling on him like that?
It can't be just a half-baked tweet, are they trying to make an example of him or something?
After Epstein's victim said she had been coerced as a teenager to have sex with the now-late MIT professor Marvin Minsky, who would have been 73 at the time of the alleged assault, Stallman suggested Minsky might somehow not have known she'd been forced to do so. In the same thread on MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory listserv, he also referred to Epstein's victims as a "harem." The remarks led to calls for his resignation and increased scrutiny on Stallman's past behavior as well as on other distasteful comments documented on Stallman's personal blog and elsewhere.
I looked up the wikipedia article on harem to see why these people found that word offensive, and was surprised to see it's a very positive article about men keeping women secluded. Jimmy Wales agrees that Islam Is Right About Women.

They're upset because he defended Marvin Minksy against an accusation no one made.
The usual, meaning total BS:
She never said that. She said she was ordered to have sex with him; she never said the act took place.
