The forking joke wasn't sexual. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5398681 My friends and I had decided forking someone's repo is a new form of flattery (the highest form being implementation) and we were excited about one of the presenters projects; a friend said "I would fork that guys repo" The sexual context was applied by Adria, and not us.

'tis the whole point: Is the situation deserving of the cost? All parties have lost their jobs. Her point in showing them to the world is to stop this sort of stuff in the industry so that women can be thought of in a better light. If anything this situation hinders that advancement because a) I can't tell jokes to my buddies anymore (guess I'll be safe in the bathrooms), and b) she was released from her position for doing it in the first place (seems circular to me).
