I skimmed the repo. Setting aside its (probably repugnant, charitably just juvenile) politics, it is objectively not funny.

Like, seriously. I'm annoyed I spent 30s scrolling through it. And it reinforces my belief that conservative thinking and humor are completely incompatible.

As a daily visitor and rare poster on HN, I have to say that this is in pretty poor taste.

It might be, weren't it inspired by actual feminist ideas: https://www.hastac.org/blogs/ari-schlesinger/2013/11/26/femi...

These things are real, there are indeed people who think in this way, and their actions do influence our lives from time to time, so a little bit of humor here is actually useful.

It's funny, creative and pokes fun at a growing problem in software dev. It's just against HN's political bias. I wish it wouldn't be pushed off the site
