So how do I flag a project on Github as stupid?

I think it is a reaction to this - http://www.hastac.org/blogs/ari-schlesinger/2013/11/26/femin...

I am still trying to work out if that article is satire or not as it seems to be in a similar vein as Alan Sokal's "Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity" http://www.physics.nyu.edu/faculty/sokal/transgress_v2/trans...

It references her blog post; this is just bullying and should be flagged as such.

I thought it was taking the piss out of the concept stated in the article about coding using a feminist ideology. You are allowed to take the piss out of concepts. I think they have been blunt in their piss taking, but this seems to be directed at the argument, not the person.

I doubt it's a serious project
