An over view of what is actually the oldest surviving Christian homily outside of the New Testament and why it offers no validity to a historical Jesus of the Gospels.
"Diatribe" is a poor descriptive word to use about the author [bitter or abusive verbal attack], and shows an odd personal bias. Rather, the letter is an exhortation [emphatic urging] to living and acting with love as Jesus taught and not strife and envy. It's a beautiful letter.
Origen says that 1Clement is stylistically correlated to the Epistle of Barnabas and Hebrews. This is extremely true. These writings rely on and borrow from one another.

"why it offers no validity to a historical Jesus"
Clement discusses Jesus speaking, that's pretty good validation in my view.
I Clement 13;1 "... most of all remembering the words of the Lord Jesus which He spake, teaching forbearance and long-suffering"
Jesus had blood according to Clement, another validation.
1Clem 21:6 "Let us fear the Lord Jesus [Christ], whose blood was given for us."

How does appealing to feminism invalidate God?

Irenaeus is the first to equate Clement of Rome with the Clement in the Epistle to the Philippians.

I believe Irenaeus mentioned him before Origen
