Feminist Software Foundation

With a nose like that, I'd resent men, too.

Feminist Software Foundation is a group effort by trolls pretending to be feminazis developing non-normative alternative programming paradigms.

Often seen shilling/trolling/posting on 4chan's /g/, the FSF are working on the first feminist programming language, C+= or “C-Plus-Equality.” Concerned /pol/acks and /g/entoomen began working together to create the fake language “C+=” when a feminazi called for a feminist and misandry-enabling programming language. Yes, it's a language for ladies— so they can feeeeeeel programs into existence, rather than submit to the oppressive Patriarchy's "silencing" tactics (namely, requiring that you open your sophisticated interactive development environment and just write some fucking code).

	“	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.	„
	—[Because programming languages are the perfect way to promote a political ideology. Similarly suited to the task: arithmetic, shoes, and the Sun.]

	“	As a student of Technology and Social Change, I am currently exploring what a feminist programing language would look like for my thesis. Technology and Social Change an interdisciplinary degree that combines computer science with the humanities so that technology can interpreted and created through a socially conscious, interdisciplinary lens. Some projects I have been involved with are FemTechNet, WikiStorming, and research regarding teaching kids computer science. I am interested in women in technology, feminism, and computer science.	„
	—Asking for it.

Status of C-Plus Equality

The FSF isn't all talk— instead of just shilling on /g/, they are pretending to work actually working on C+=. They have a logo, and it's downhill from there.
