As a man (and a throwback, not a feminist) I think we should be tougher than this, not cry for years when some young woman complains to a conference organizer about an overtly, over-the-line sexist remark aimed directly at the PyLadies organization.
Now, the man in question was graceful enough to climb down and apologize and is widely respected and doing very well for himself today. That's correct.
I suspect that the guy in question was probably a bit drunk or something, so in the end I think it is silly for anyone to still be offended about this incident.
Nothing is being done to you. Nothing is being done to me. We don't need to be offended. We don't need to be resentful. We don't need to attack PyLadies. If you don't like them, then ignore them.

It was public humiliation. And the fact that he didn't fought it made it even worse. Then there were organizers claiming that tweets containing "#europython" were part of the conference but that's another story.
