- eesmith 8y agoThis 1982 piece is a riff on "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche", which came out that same year. Quoting Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Men_Don%27t_Eat_Quiche https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Men_Don%27t_Eat_Quiche , > Real Men Don't Eat Quiche, by American Bruce Feirstein, is a bestselling tongue-in-cheek book satirizing stereotypes of masculinity, published in 1982 (ISBN 0-671-44831-5). > It popularized the term quiche-eater, referring to a man who is a dilettante, a trend-chaser, an over-anxious conformist to fashionable forms of lifestyle, and socially correct behaviors and opinions, one who eschews (or merely lacks) the traditional masculine virtue of tough self-assurance. In this case, quiche-eaters use Pascal, and Real Programmers use FORTRAN 66.
