This starts funny, veers near insulting, but then I saw the code: https://bitbucket.org/FeministSoftwareFoundation/c-plus-equa... Reading this is actually a very different experience from reading normal C++ code. It's a real work of art.

This was discussed and censored before. I was stupid enough to believe it. Previous conversation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6907401

This has been posted to HN at least a half dozen times now. It's as pointless and sophomoric now as it was the first time. Can we please stop posting this and forget about it?

Man, that's a lot of effort put into something so hateful and deplorable.

This is a reaction to Arielle Schlesinger: "In the scope of my research, a feminist programming language is to be built around a non-normative paradigm that represents alternative ways of abstracting. The intent is to encourage and allow new ways of thinking about problems such that we can code using a feminist ideology." And she wasn't joking. http://www.hastac.org/blogs/ari-schlesinger/2013/11/26/femin...

The comment discussion is rather involved too. It's not a hoax, but sure feels like one. I think.
