Yeah it doesn't really land well as a joke because it's the very first thing. Joking hot takes at least need a bit of warm up so readers know what's going on, whereas this just opens with a no-context dis at women where it's not even clear what the joking read is supposed to be talking about. What hard work? What's happening?

Yeah, I'm totally lost. This is somewhere between out of context and out of touch.
Yes, I actually completely agree with this.

I placed it on the readme after a long night of working on this project. The joke was directed at my partner who had giggled with me about the absurdity of writing a dsl to template my website.

That said, I do agree that it doesn't land well out of context for the general audience, and for that reason will be removed

With that context, it lands completely differently, definitely. Thanks for explaining and being so understanding.
