Be a man, and write some code to be proud of this month

This article really struck me the wrong way. The connection to being a "Man" is really, really weak and could easily be eliminated from the article.

I mean... I get the connection to "No Shave November"... but it adds nothing to the content and while reading the entire article all I felt was "MAN MAN MAN MAN" instead of "Unit Testing! Documentation! Pair Programming!" which are actually important programming topics.
