I read it. All of it. At best this seems like a proposal for a paper rather than a paper. In fact, the authors continue to talk about things like "Our paper also aims to explore such diversification" 80% of the way though their work. I'll save you the suspense, they never create an actual "Case for Feminism in Programming Language Design". Having read it all I don't see "A Case for Feminism in Programming Language Design". I see a descriptive rant that qualitative == masculine == bad and that it is not "fair" that top journals don't publish quantitative, ethnographic, diary based research. There seems to be nothing about feminism here either other than it being the self appointed champion of all diversity. Really this paper could exist almost as is with any modern topic grafted onto it as it is so generic. Ill give the authors kudos though as do point out that many aspects of computing have their beginnings based on the works of women or women dominated fields like knitting and the incredible works of Admiral Hopper but that only seems to diminish their arguments. All in all, I can't believe this was published by a peer reviewed journal.
