I guess this topic could go under Entertainment as well, but hey, maybe we can evaluate the practicality of this language.
Even though I can already predict what would be said.

I don't quite know what to make of this. I mean, it seems as though they're serious about some things, but seriously... The hell are they thinking...? SYNTAX!!! AHHHH!!

I'm about 80% convinced this is a troll.
This article (http://www.hastac.org/blogs/ari-schlesinger/2013/11/26/feminism-and-programming-languages) that was linked at the top of the page seems actually interesting though.
If I recall correctly, one if not the first recognized programmer was a woman and she also helped develop what could be considered the first computer as well.
Just a programming fun fact. I don't really have an opinion on separating programming by gender since I've been trying for years to get more women interested in programming and it's considerably harder for a myriad of reasons.
Hate comes in many different disguises. This is but one.
It's a troll.
