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

I also can't follow his writing; what point is he trying to make exactly? It all just reads like conservative rambling that comes off as very egotistical.

I dont use his packages but people said they were good.

The only package of his I use is Modus themes, but that's because they're included in Emacs.
