> I remember being walked around campus by an upperclassman getting advice during my freshman year at MIT. "Look at all the plants in her office," referring to a professor. "All the women CSAIL professors keep massive amounts of foliage" s/he said. "Stallman really hates plants."

If this is true, he must have been doing something to women that goes beyond being unattractive, no?

You really really should avoid making people build such workarounds to avoid you. And the fact that it's women specifically is suspicious.

Now, I'd really like to be proven wrong, that'd be pretty great. It saddens me that RMS was like this.
