Feminism and Programming Languages

!taskDone { declare program (necessary); create array shitThatNeedsToBeDone; load languages type Real; find programmer type Real; assign .this programmer.found; demand programmer.Real use languages.Real; demand programmer.Real solve shitThatNeedsToBeDone; while taskDone == false { complain; loop (incessantly); } } taskDone { declare credit; assign credit .self; find new program (necessary) set taskDone = false; declare taskDone as type misogyny; return; }

I'm finding this language remarkably easy to pick up, but the dependency on real programmers means a regular internet connection is necessary to use it.

Also, for some reason, I keep getting error message 30; tits or gtfo.

I’m swayed by the constructive theories that would build onto formal logic through a feminist lens. There exist logics that handle contradiction as part of the system, namely paraconsistent logic. I think this type of logic represents the feminist idea that something can be and not be without being a contradiction, that is a system where the following statement is not explosive: (p && ¬p) == 1.

Like women are strong AND women are always the victim.

But I think the most important contribution of feminist logic is the feminist inequality based on the privileged property of objects.

person.male.privileged = 1 person.female.privileged = 0

The following evaluate as true:

(person.male == person.female) (person.female > person.male)

While the following evaluates as false:

(person.female < person.male)

I guess COBOL didn't go deep enough into "express yourself" territory for feminists.

Oh look, every single actual programmer is calling bullshit, didnt see that coming

There is already a word for this: Doublethink.

Which makes it completely useless for programming.

You have to have discrete data to get any kind of coherency, and thus usefulness.

Existing abstract data types : array, queue, stack, tree, graph.

To be replaced with abstract data types : rape_culture, misogynist, chauvinist, patriarchy.
