I dont't know the full details only some of the HN and Twitter drama.
Here is how I think this should have played out.
dudes:"lol dude something something penis like joke"
chick: "hey do you guys mind not talking like that it's a bit uncomfortable"
dude: "oh sorry I didn't realize."(stops making dick jokes).
No need to continue to make jokes. No need to go to twitter. No need for someone to be fired.
That is my opinion of how this could have been handled with mutual respect. Also I think the initial joke was more childish than sexist. It's a conference for industry professionals, not 8th graders.
