    I know that this is satire, but after reading through some "code" on the bitbucket, I am disgusted. You'll never hear me say the word "privilege" in any kind of seriousness, but really guys? This is fucking awful.

    Some snippets:

      // The whole idea of main() is frankly Oppressive, in an ideal
  // world there would be no main() or subroutine(), only me() 
  // Edit: Luckily, we now have womain(), but I still think me() is better
    and

      * Post-amble: Today I wrote my first reclamation program for the
  * Feminist Software Foundation1  I'm sooooo excited!  ^_^
  * Imma cccdddrrrr loll
  * I'm such a nerd!
  * I think I'll write an essay on this triump over the Patriarchy!
    Is this the kind of vitriolic community we want to build?

    Say what you want or downvote me to hell. But I think this is great satire and hilariouisly funny. Make sure to check the bitbucket link or it wont make much sense.

    This reminds me of "The 1/2 News Hour". It an attempt by Fox News to replicate the success of the Daily Show by making a comedy news show from a conservative perspective. Predictably, the show was so tone-deaf and unfunny that it completely failed and was quietly shut down.

    "fight against the man"

    Are there no male feminists? What?

    There was widespread uncertainty about whether or not the 'feminist programming' article / research proposal was a joke. I'm fairly sure now that it wasn't. Is this site a satirical take on that?

    "Now hosted on BitBucket, as GitHub proves to be too misogynistic to support a feminist programming language."

    This can't be serious. If it is, then with logic and immaturity like that it might not get far.

    EDIT:

    I just scrolled down. This is very clearly satire, I didn't see the bullet points. But the whole point of satire is to get these kinds of conversations going. I'm the fall guy this time.
