Not really. Would you have preferred a shirt that says HOGRAMMER? I just think "exclusivity" is a super weak argument against the term.
Clearly you feel strongly about this so maybe explore exactly what the problem is until you can articulate it in a more direct manner. There are most likely legitimate problems of sexism in CS, but BROGRAMMING is more sensational than important.
As I've said before, in many places on this thread, this was less me sharing my feelings and more of a synthesis of a variety of ideas shared by a group of computer science students, male and female, at the University of Pennsylvania.
(We did discuss the possibility of Hogrammer, yes.)
