This comment is terrifying. You cannot say anything without being called out with this sort of terrible attitude.

  Of course you can. Language is intensely rich, there's such a tiny subset of stuff that we're now starting to recognize rubs people the wrong way/excludes people/makes us sound like cavemen. I don't at all get what benefit there is to being able to say "manly-man programming," either from a communication or a social standpoint. I don't get what's lost when we replace "manly-man programming" with anything less stupid and awful.

      We should apply parent's logic here :)

    What's gained is language flair and color. You may not see it but I do. This is like any other literature. Don't force the world into newspeak.
