That's a ridiculous mischaracterisation of what he said and you know it.
He said some vaguely questionable thing about the definition of the word assault and people sought to interpret that in the absolute worst way possible.
He's a weirdo, and he says some stuff that clearly indicates there's some social stuff he just doesn't quite understand. Like the fact that "assault" or "rape" doesn't necessarily mean an outright violent physical assault.
I mean who the hell expects RMS to have a nuanced understanding of interpersonal relationships?
