"perhaps it isn’t CSS itself but our unwillingness to examine our sexist ideas of what is worthy in web development"

@rachelnabors No, as a woman and software developer and someone whose front end web development experience was preceded by a lot of document layout and someone who just spent a couple evenings beating on a responsive site's CSS:
CSS is shit. CSS is utter garbage. The WC3 should be utterly ashamed that it is associated with them.
A far more authentically feminist take on CSS than that men hate it because design is considered "feminine" is that CSS has been allowed to suck as catastrophically as it has because it's seen as a tool for women and other lesser peoples, such as designers and frontend implementers.
CSS is a pair of slacks with no pockets; a pair of shoes you can learn to look professional in so long as you can keep the rictus of pain off your face; the radium they'd have you paint on a watch dial.
And the reason CSS is a suppurating wound of technology is because...
I haven't really used CSS in maybe decades, so I wonder if you have an opinion on its development since then, or if that's just overshadowed by core problems.
For example, I remember CSS as seeming logical but with some glaring holes that needed filling, feeling incomplete.
I wonder if you feel that that was the case decades ago, and they either didn't fill those holes since then, or maybe they broke the logic through missteps, leaving it a mess now, or something else entirely.
