Hi, Guillem and Javi.

Fully agree.

Before becoming a DD I prepared the first version of this package and did
not find a good name for that section, so I named it as machosno.fortunes as
a lesser evil. I explicitly discarded any name containing feminism because
neither I nor any of my female friends consider "feminismo" just "machismo"
from the other side.

I noticed that there was a contribution later with that name, probably
duplicating a good part of machosno.fortunes. Since this was proposed by a
woman I did not complain, but as said above, I do not consider it a good
name.

Regarding a good name, I'd also consider "hembrismo", which I find more
appropriate to describe something equivalent to "machismo", but from the
other side.
