>“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.”

How does this drivel pass for serious academic rigor? How does constructing a "non-normative paradigm" centered around a "feminist ideology" for the purposes of creating a "feminist programming language" further the cause of getting more women into computer science? What relevance does it have to the titular question of the blog post? Maybe I'm just particularly nasty today after being sick all week, but this ivory tower gobbledygook really rustles my jimmies.
