I'm sure on many counts you are absolutely right. However there is a HUGE difference between what I say in person and what I put in a a public invitation. In isolation its "just a harmless JOKE" but it is not in isolation in the tech scene. There is a long list of this behavior that makes this industry uninviting (and in some rarer cases just damn hostile) to women. I think in Startup culture we appreciate that its all in the nuance and little details when it comes to success. Small things like this add up. I'd argue that it is in dealing with matter incidents like this that we make a larger change in the long run. As for "Everyone needs to relax"... I have two daughters. When I don't have to read about people like Sqoot then I'll relax.
