I made $5000 a day just by filling out surveys online!

I think their offense (and yours) is laughable, but keep in mind that mens issues are largely ignored by most people, including men, and feminists who claim to be fighting for gender equality.

Women taking offense, just in the tech industry over the past 2 years alone has 'accomplished' quite a lot. Here's a few:

-Gotten a man fired from his job (Adria Richards) -Raised $160,000 in exchange for a series of youtube videos on video games made from other youtube videos by a woman who has admitted she isn't a gamer (Anita Sarkeesian) -Gotten a repo on github taken down (This whole Feminist Software Foundation thing)

And who knows what else?

Do you honestly think that men taking offense carries as much weight? So many men are willing to bend to your every whim, just because they think you being a woman makes you less capable, and if that isn't sexism, then I don't know what is.

These are strange days indeed. People who consider themselves to be socially liberal actually think censorship is good.

I think it's offensive to women to imply that they aren't capable of handling some feminist satire. Both men and women are targets of satire ALL THE TIME. Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin are portrayed as the 'typical father' are irresponsible uneducated alcoholics. Do you honestly think this gives me a good reason to be crying to the television companies about how hard they're making it for me to watch TV?

You would probably like to think that you believe men and women are equal, but you clearly do not, because you insist on treating them like overly-sensitive children.

Absolutely.

I don't really understand the reaction to this. People are saying it's harassment, and it makes fun of rape victims, but that is not at all what I took from it.

It's simply making fun of ideas and reasoning in radical feminism, and applying them to concepts in programming. This is partly in response to a feminist talking about a "feminist programming language", and also a satire on what happened on Node.JS about the use of a gendered pronoun.

I am aware that they mentioned rape, but I think this is a reference to the feminists loose classification of rape. One thing that immediately stands out to me is the contradictions, which again seems to be a reference to many radical feminists. I recall a "I need feminism because..." picture with a woman holding up a sign which read "I need feminism because no means no, but yes doesn't always mean yes."

I think a lot of people just don't 'get' it, because they don't like being made fun of.

Even if it was the most vile, distasteful, and offensive thing I have ever read, I still would condemn Github for taking it down, as free speech is binary - either all of it is okay, or none of it is okay. You don't get to decide what's okay, because once you decide something isn't okay, there's a billion reasons why everything else isn't okay that remain consistent with your original reasoning.
