Like I’ve stated on my Twitter account, speaking as an Autistic woman, the fact Ableism exists doesn’t erase the fact Sexism and Misogyny in disabled men, including Autistic ones, exists, and that using the Autisms excuse has become just another Boys Will Be Boys argument.

Stallman gets away with this shit because he’s a man, and how is the fact he’s been a well known creeper that women have been warned about in whisper networks FOR DECADES to avoid sexual harassment any different from NT ones?

Not to mention how disabled women are targeted more than abled for sexual abuse and harassment, but I don’t see that many people bringing THAT up. I do however notice the past decade or so when topics of sexual harassment by men get brought up, it’s framed in defense of men, as though all men are Autistic, women never are, and it’s just this innocent misunderstanding. Convenient.
