Adria's firing is completely non-sensical.

I thought SendGrid's reasoning on her firing made a lot of sense. She made herself the center of a hugely divisive public firestorm. It wasn't in anyone's best interests other than her own.

I would tend to disagree that she made herself the center of the s%*tstorm rather than it forming around her, but upon reviewing her continued tweets on the subject, you may be right.

I have no problems with the tweet taking offence to the mildly sexualized jokes.

The included photo was out of line.

The firing of the developer was silly.

I find the backlash directed at Adria to be insanely offensive and sexist. (She should be raped? Seriously?)

Adria's firing is completely non-sensical.

Adria seems like a huge hypocrit based on her historical tweets.

she's a nutcase, and she had everything coming (minus the serious threats)

I dunno, I think the fact that she went STRAIGHT to the nuclear option (pics + public callout on twitter) puts the blame for the shit storm straight on her shoulders.

She seems overly sensitive.

I could see this being a problem if the people were talking to her after she showed disinterest, but the fact she overheard a conversation and quietly forged an internet crusade or odd or is a shame. People like her is why you must question every accusation of a social nature of men by females.

Agree. I don't get any of this stuff. What's the problem with dongle jokes? Seriously I don't get it. The joke is lame and not offensive in anyway. I mean when I think about the jokes friends of me and I myself do, this is like a 1 on a scale of 100. Completely harmless.

One linked article mentions how great it was that there were 40% of women speakers. Well whats great about that if in reality there are only 10% of women in that field? There should be only 10% women speakers. I mean has any man complained that there are not 50% men speaking at "nursing conferences"? Seriously.

Men are better at certain things and women at others. We are not equal. Hence the whole claim for equality in every sector is stupid as are "quotas" for all kind of minorities. Only thing that should count is that the best person for a specific job gets the job.
