When you have a hostile creep in the workplace the women in that workplace will have techniques they use to avoid the creep. This is because men do not believe those women when they say "this guy is a creep" and so no action gets taken against the creep. Or men do believe those women, but they decide not to do anything anyway.

Eventually the body of evidence is so huge people can't avoid taking action any longer.

We see this with Crosby, we see it with Epstein, we see it with Weinstein. Those people were monsters yet it took years for anything to happen.

RMS is clearly nothing at all like those men, but the denial of his abusive behaviours is the same.

Yes, clearly it's multiple women over decades who have somehow managed to independently exaggerate nearly identical stories.

Jesus Christ it's like a parody of tech's cluelessness here.

Confirmation bias. If the "multiple women" spans decades, you're probably actively looking for the hits and not looking at the misses. He's socially awkward so probably a lot of the "hits" are probably misinterpreting him.
