Why is no one in these stories even questioning the concept of whether any joke about sex or sexual innuendo is inherently sexist? Whilst not my personal comedic cup of tea, sexual innuendo is just a pun. Puns might be uninspired non-comedy, but a sexual pun is no more inherently sexist than a non-sexual pun. Is the idea that because it was a woman who felt uncomfortable about a sexual innuendo, it was an inherently sexist act? People feel uncomfortable and offended with jokes all the time, that doesn't define their sexism or lack thereof. This whole thing smacks of artificial controversy. It's a shame two people had to lose their jobs over what appears to be a total non-issue. If this is the most blatant example of sexism in the tech industry / "start ups", one might think there are other more important things to focus on and get people fired for.
