Used by anti-feminists ?

It is said in the article : "Despite the fact that the treatise was meant to parody the Socinian Anabaptist belief that Jesus of Nazareth was not divine, several anti-feminists utilized a literal interpretation of the tract to support their views."

Is it possible to give a precise reference about the use of the Disputatio by anti-feminists ? Ian Maclean writes in his book The Renaissance notion of woman, p. 13, that the Disputation, in its time, "provokes nothing but refutation".

Thanks,

From [1]: Probably... meant... to be a satirical essay against the Anabaptist who deny the divinity of Christ. The author seems to say: “If you apply the same arguments the Anabaptists use to deny the divinity of Christ, you can prove, with the same kind of arguments, that women are not human”. Unfortunately, it was used as a serious text to pour ridicule on women. See: J. Jungmayr, ‘Einführung zu Henricus Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim, zu Valens Acidalius und der Gegenschrift von Gediccus’, in Ob die Weiber Menschen sein Oder Nicht?, ed.
