This is a sad story. I'm really genuinely bothered when I hear about guys that persist in thinking that this sort of presentation is cool or appropriate. I am sorry that you're upset about it, and I feel badly for the event organizer. This is the part that people will remember, not all of the amazing stuff. Conference organizing is surprisingly thankless. That said, you have to admit that the hot sauce aspect of this story is really funny. What the heck did you hope to accomplish? If you'd actually hit him, he'd be legally entitled to press charges. Did you end up apologizing to the attendees that got splashed, or offer to cover the cleaning bill for the conference organizer? Sexism on stage or not, if you'd hit my shirt and my computer, I'd be pissed off.
