MikeeUSA is the pseudonym of an anti-feminist troll who periodically targets the FLOSS communities, especially women's groups, with extremely misogynistic language, calls to violence, and men's rights content. He is regarded as a troll and a sexist within the masculist movement as well.
MikeeUSA also trolls mainstream feminist blogs and women's groups in other fields, geeky and non-geeky.
Contents
Style
Mikee typically posts rants denouncing women in "men's roles" such as software development and calling for among other things the killing of feminists and women in "men's roles", the need for more submissive wives, the end of spousal rape penalties, and the end of age of consent laws past very early pubescence.
Since 2009 at least, he endorses well-known murders of women, including Hans Reiser's murder of Nina Reiser and the Shafia family murders and calls for similar violence.
