But how would comparing programming languages made by men versus ones made by women provide any useful info about what a 'feminist programming paradigm' is, might be, could be, etc.? I was more than a little offended by the author conflating 'feminism' with para-consistent logic. Does no one else think that the idea of 'feminist' thinking embracing 'contradictions' smack of almost ridiculously self-caricatured sexism?

But how would comparing programming languages made by men versus ones made by women provide any useful info about what a 'feminist programming paradigm' is, might be, could be, etc.? I don't think the idea is comparing existing implementations, but creating a new language, based on that analysis. I was more than a little offended by the author conflating 'feminism' with para-consistent logic. Does no one else think that the idea of 'feminist' thinking embracing 'contradictions' smack of almost ridiculously self-caricatured sexism? Maybe; I'm not familiar enough with the feminist critique of logic that the author mentions.
