In layman's words, a tenet of one part of feminism is that our language is shaped in such a way that it oppresses women and sets men as the ruling part of society. Sort of like the idea in Orwell's 1984 that we modify language to not have the ability to express dissent. This is presumably a suggestion that the same principles be applied to programming languages. I read it as satire of the feminist idea that language is inherently oppressive. Are you sure it's not a joke?
