Brogrammers are the Jersey Shore of programming. A small, laughable, easily ignored minority of the population. They are a joke whether they take themselves seriously or not.
If you don't like them, spend your time with programmers who don't brag about sex parties.
And why do you want to be a part of brogramming if you hate it so much? (inferred from your comment on exclusivity to men as a problem)
I didn't elaborate much on how this got started, but this began when the CS group at my school (I'm on the board) considered printing shirts with "Brogrammer" on them. For all the CS students.
Do you understand, then, why exclusivity is a problem?
Also, I'm sorry that so much of my post was overwhelmed by BROGRAMMING. The forum was really about sexism in CS, too.
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.)
