It doesn't even make logical sense, what he's saying. If you've had a kid, it is in everyone's categorical best interests for you to do the best possible job raising it. The guy didn't say he was putting Emacs on hold so he could conceive a child.

I don't think Stallman was trying to persuade someone to do something with that email; I think he was speaking his mind about the circumstances that already obtained. I agree that it doesn't propose any coherent plan of action to improve the situation.
