I am not happy with the "joke" in the README and if I could I would report it but it looks like it doesn't fall into Github categorization of abuse. Keep your bad jokes to yourself, inside your head, where nobody can see them.

This is completely valid, and I've posted explanations elsewhere, but it's been removed

Yeah it doesn't really land well as a joke because it's the very first thing. Joking hot takes at least need a bit of warm up so readers know what's going on, whereas this just opens with a no-context dis at women where it's not even clear what the joking read is supposed to be talking about.

Right? I'm really blown away by the amount of people on here that seem to think this is a serious sentiment.

Thanks. I read your other comments and it makes sense why it landed there.

Yet requesting the removal of a content only to satisfy one's emotional immaturity is an attempt to limit this freedom.

Not tolerating sexist jokes isn't emotional immaturity. Especially in a very sexist industry and in a sexist society where making these jokes about women is somehow seen as okay by way too many men. It's not funny. I have values (such as those of respect and equality) that stand in opposition to childish jokes like that one. You don't and that's okay, but don't go painting others as "immature" when you're unwilling t…

Hi, as the author of this repo, I cannot emphasize this same sentiment enough. I've posted explanations elsewhere in the comments, which you're welcome to read if you would like. Regardless the "joke" has been removed.
