He was what we would now call a volcel.
Women were distractions to him, he was much more interested in inventing calculus, arguing over who invented calculus, astronomy, alchemy, economics, etc.
I don't think incels were possible back then
... you... don't think there were people too poor, or ugly, or unhygenic, or rude, or abrasive, or poor of health, ... to have ever had a sexual encounter, to ever be married ... and to become misogynistic as a result?
Considering that marriage was not optional for the vast majority of people and the extremely low standards for the treatment of women, incels would have been vanishingly rare. Maybe a few literal lepers.
I feel we are both technically correct here.
Were incels common? Almost certainly not.
Were incels impossible? No. Rare, but not impossible.
