A module named "girlfriend" won't amplify anyone's prejudice. It is,
at that point, just a joke. The punchline is "import girlfriend", and
the joke makes fun of geeky losers, not women.

But, hey, inertia. As long as we're trying to make this dude get rid
of the offensive part, might as well get rid of the rest too. Why not
make him get rid of everything he's written, too? Woo, party time!
