"fight against the man" Are there no male feminists? What? There was widespread uncertainty about whether or not the 'feminist programming' article / research

"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." https://bitbucket.org/FeministSoftwareFoundation/c-plus-equality https://bitbucket.org/FeministSoftwareFoundation/c-plus-equa... 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.

This can't be serious. I'm surprised you even considered it was.

  Well, we'll see. It very well might be. EDIT: Oh. I just actually scrolled down.

Are there no male feminists? What? Yes, there are. "The Man" is slang for "the authorities" or "the powers that be". Although in this case of course there's a double entendre. 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? The "feminist programming" research proposal is real. The C+= language "spec" is a satirical response. I guess this site is yet another satirical response pointing to the bitbucket repo?
