It's mind-boggling that someone has spent so much time on this when they could instead have been creating something useful, meaningful, or, at the least, actually funny.

It's just substitution macros for the C++ preprocessor that was probably churned out in no more than 20 minutes (by members of /g/).

The README was collaboratively written by /pol/ viewers.

Actually funny? I thought this was hilarious. Perhaps not if you're unfamiliar with extreme SJW rhetoric, or if you sympathize with it. Either way, it did cause a stir all over the web (especially Reddit), but not here.

The HN patriarchy killed the links off pretty quickly

What you find funny depends a lot on your view of the subject matter. I am not a feminist (in that I don't consider women to be people), and so I found the site quite humorous. Similarly, I don't find feminist web-comics to be funny.

Poe's law is strongly in effect here.

Let me clarify. I am not a feminist but I do consider women to be people. I was making a reference to the common claim that being a feminist is equivalent to considering women to be people.

I agree. It's a shame that instead of people creating something useful, everyone has to create an "environment that's inviting to womyn" and make sure all their work is "gender neutral and non-sexist."
