The penis joke is not the problem. The perceived offensiveness of the joke is not the problem. It's the exclusive message it sends: PHP is for people with penises. The joke itself, and whether or not it is in good taste, is irrelevant. It's the marketing exclusively towards men that is the sexist and offensive part. Especially in the context where it's hard enough for women to feel welcome and comfortable at conferences that are 90% sausage fest anyway.
