Feminist Software Foundation gets grumpy with GitHub … or does it? • The Register

Whether the Feminist Software Foundation and C+= are a gag or not is hard to say.

It's not hard to say. It's an obvious spoof. But "4chan creates a joke repo on GitHub" isn't much of a story to write about, is it? So the person writing for the Register has just inserted some false controversy to make it seem like a legitimate story.

If you want to check out an actual feminist attempt at creating a language, check out Láadan. It's a conlang rather than a programming language, but it's not just a 4chan joke.

The fact that people take FSF seriously instead of recognizing it for obvious satire says enough about the crazy world we live in.

Pretty sure this is troll bait but who knows

Wait. This was actually made by feminists? I thought it was a response to the feminists who wanted a feminist programming language.

Their github repo is long gone, seems that bitbucket also took them down and i'm getting a 403 on google which is a shame.

I was a good laugh while it lasted, sadly even the tech world is overflowing with feminists and their pet manginas...

Poes law if real, poes law if satire

Looks like there's still some code here http://feministsoftwarefoundation.org/C-plus-Equality/

What exactly is it supposed to satirize? Reads more like some of the most nonsense straw man attempts one could come up with rather than satire without knowing the context. It suggests a terrible understanding of feminist gripes. Is it satirizing widespread male programmer culture?
