Protesilaos aka “Prot” is a well-known member of the Emacs community, being the author of several popular packages. I unfortunately just learned about an anti-feminist rant he posted to his website 5 days ago (Sep 5). I don’t want to link it, but it is easily found if you desire.

His philosophy just sucks, he’s not as smart as he thinks he is, he’s stuck arguing with himself over his own abstractions

In short, he equates feminism with individualism in order to “prove” that feminism and socialism don’t mix (and he doesn’t like socialism anyway)

shut the fuck up Prot

    Grey tribe/neoractionary/fascist writing is almost always like this. They don’t operate at one level, they’re constantly trying to incorporate information at smaller and bigger scales that don’t work together: various crime statistics, various anecdotes about women in their life, Greek tragedies, music lyrics, online memes, etc. They create this tapestry that seems convincing because it has all these supporting examples to people who already want to believe but to anyone who’s skeptical it’s scattered and nonsensical.

      I had a friend who wrote like this but fortunately he stuck to episode recaps of Lost, where it was almost appropriate.
