Care to elaborate about it? I just found it accessible at https://github.com/ErisBlastar/cplusequality https://github.com/ErisBlastar/cplusequality

  The original C+= repo (https://github.com/FeministSoftwareFoundation/C-plus-Equality https://github.com/FeministSoftwareFoundation/C-plus-Equalit...) was taken down by Github after twitter backlash. http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/12/14/1618239/github-takes-down-satirical-c-plus-equality-language http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/12/14/1618239/github-takes...

      I don't get the outrage. In fact, I think it's a brilliant parody of post-structuralist jargon, self-contradictions and pretentious verbal mannerisms. If you take this repo as a serious attack against feminism I have to point out that as far as I can see the whole thing has no substance and offers no comments on real-life issues. Zero. It satirizes a certain vacuous style of writing. Saying that it threatens feminism is like saying that satirizing jargon-heavy research papers threatens science. Is the jargon really all that matters? I went to Slashdot through the link above which led me back to HN. The reactions just seem bizarre. Even if offensive to some, the readme.md is fully within the traditions of American comedy. You don't get all angry about Jeff Foxworthy's You Might be a Redneck, right? You don't proclaim that he misrepresents the rural poor and trivializes their hardships? Or do you?

        Perhaps Github do not feel that satire belongs there.

        If they didn't then a lot of repos would be removed or censored. If they don't though, then - similar to the 'retard' censorship - they're inconsistent and using double standards (which BTW is also a trait of the SJW subculture the c+= repo parodies)

    Just wanted to thank you. I never heard of the C+= saga - you made my day!
