Okay...nice statement. But he still referred to the man that made the joke as an "offender." I still don't see how it was her place to report this to anyone. She was the only one that heard it, or at least the only one who cared. She took nothing, and grew it into something, to the extent where PyCon felt the need to update their Code of Conduct, an innocent man, and she herself have lost their jobs. Over an innocent joke that her rabbit/antenna ears picked up. Ridiculous. I wonder if she thinks it was still worth it...

Honestly, this whole thing is pissing me off. I don't get why he's being characterized as an "offender" or "sexist" or how these companies don't stand for "offensive behaviour" or whatever have you.
THE JOKE WAS NOT ABOUT HER. THE JOKE WAS NOT SAID TO HER.
If the joke was about her or said to her, okay, maybe you can argue sexism or feeling uncomfortable. It was two people talking to each other and as I said above, they weren't talking about her or anyone else there. WTF?
This is the next frontier of PC. Welcome to a world where you can't talk to your co-workers/friends and make "offensive" jokes that don't even mention anyone in the company.
I am shocked at the support she's getting. Where are her feminist and mangina supporters coming from? People, nothing was said to her.
I think a lot of this feminist anger we see is a lot of man-hating dykes uniting together in their hatred of men. Women who were raped as children and what not...women who are completely toxic for any man to be around.
These women would be best ignored...it's the beta "manginas" supporting these bitches which give them so much power. Here's a clue, guys: That man-hating dyke is not going to open her legs to you just because you act like a pussy and support her man-hating bullshit. If, however, you take the red pill and learn some game, pussy will start to come in to your life. Man up, betas.

Four paragraphs before she broke out the all-caps. Must be some kind of record.
Meanwhile, Heartiste's response had me shaking my head in admiration at his wordsmithing. Whatever one might say to criticize that blog, and there is lots to say, you still see a gem every so often.
Roosh said:
I can't stand the sexist generalizations made in that Jezebel article. yeah I said it sexist. Half of the sentences are saying "well its always like that in a male dominated field" "all men are jerks who make dick jokes" "these women are always suffering attacks from all men"
Anyone notice how these 'feminist' bloggers make accusations of sexism and then are more sexist themselves? They should be ashamed to even claim they hold the feminist ideology. Its like the girl from the other thread who called Roosh a racist then told him that because he wasn't white he should go back to his home country so he would fit in with the shitty people there.

I think its important to do this on twitter and via email whenever something positive like this occurs to encourage similar decisions in the future.
We need to overwhelm the hateposts some companies will get for making decisions like this with our own positive ones. Otherwise, it may discourage similar decisions in the future or some companies may redact their decisions. Support will foster an environment where companies aren't afraid to do the right thing.

The whole tech space/Silicon Valley scene is proof of something I'd long suspected: the more beta the men, the more despicable and entitled women get. A woman like Adria Richards would get laughed out of town in the cool circles in NYC, Miami or LA.
It's like frame control on a mass, societal scale. The men there keep ceding ground on what's considered 'sexist,' to the point where this happens - a dude makes a dick joke and a chick goes apeshit over it. If every bar in SF had a dude like Seth Macfarlane or Bill Burr cracking jokes about women, this woman would never even conceive of a mild dick joke as 'sexist.'
PS: This is why you should use the word 'cunt' around girls as much as possible. Makes all the other shit they hear from men seem bush league.

Large backlash in the comments though defending the men. Quite promising
This is beyond ridiculous! So now two guys can't make jokes to themselves about things that they've always done? This is scary, even beyond an Orwellian world. This has to stop!
The firing of that CUNT made my day big time! I've signed both petitions to get the guy reinstated and the CUNT fired. I also sent a raw email to the owner of the company who fired him with a few choice words!
On another note, I'm so freaking glad I'm out of the corporate rat race! I would never be able to go back, I wouldn't last a week there before losing it. The Corporate world is also fucked it seems. It's all about the cunts!
This is one big step towards justice! Down with the cunts, manginas, betas, white knights and fags!!!

I'm not surprised that women are more likely to defend men acting alpha than beta men. Beta men (white knights, manginas, whatever) don't want anyone acting alpha; they know the alphas are pulling ass while they are not so they react to alpha behavior with jealously and hostility.
With the exception of damaged outspoken men-hating dyke types, women like it when men act alpha; it turns them on.
