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.
It's not great satire; it's lazy, thoughless satire that punches down and does it poorly. You think it's great satire because you agree with it. This has all the wit and charm of a Ramirez global warming cartoon.

Thanks for telling me what I think :)

So in other words anybody who finds it good satire or let alone funny agrees with what exactly?
Yes, I found it amusing, not ashamed to admit at all.

How does this "punch down", exactly?
First of all, why are you implying women are beneath you?
And second, it's a handful of NEETs satirizing an established academic discipline and an extremely popular and powerful political movement. How in the name of the lord does that constitute "punching down"?

could not have said it better
I too, think this is awesomely funny and very well constructed! Shame that github censored it.
this is not funny. this is less funny then when engineers sit around and make puns about ruby idioms
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.

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.

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?

I'm surprised you even considered it was.

Well, we'll see. It very well might be.
