I'm sorry, but functionally the problem witb that sentence was suggesting that minors can consent to sex with adults. While I think there is a good argument to be made that kids can and should have control of their own sexuality, suggesting a young woman forced into sexual servitude by a monstrous sex slave merchant was "entirely willing."

No one in a position to cause this outcome didn't read the original statements. Suggesting that this is all a big misunderstanding (or that this was an isolated incident of RMS's sexism, for that matter) is not only slanderous, but its profoundly disrespectful to all parties.

With what sentence?

> was suggesting that minors can consent to sex with adults

Legally in most places they can, legally in the place that this happened I think that they could not. Is there a problem with this statement?

> suggesting a young woman forced into sexual servitude by a monstrous sex slave merchant was "entirely willing."

Appeared entirely willing (to Minsky and to anyone else that Epstein invited in his island) != being entirely willing herself.

> RMS's sexism

Would you mind showing to me where is the sexism in anything that Stallman said regarding Epstein?

No, I am not going to restate widely available and widely read public documents for your pleasure. I do not believe that you are confused about this.

I am confused because I have read said publicly available documents myself and I was unable to find any instance of sexism by Stallman in them.
