Her own phallus joke, as mentioned in the pastie, which she made on Twitter, a much more public venue:

Incredibly hypocritical on her part.

People are allowed to make offensive jokes. Except when they agree not to. By attending PyCon, you are making that agreement.
In the end, the result was resolved well by all 3 parties.
The issue is that one of the parties got fired. An overreaction by his ex-employer. In part, I blame the community. The employer probably thought to quickly defuse the situation and distance themselves. It's been mostly effective, with the blame primarily being put on the woman. Most people seem to be ignoring the actual perpetrators of the real problem, the firing.
PyCon attendee procedure for handling harassment:
https://us.pycon.org/2013/about/code-of-conduct/harassment-i...
"Report the harassment incident (preferably in writing) to a conference staff member - all reports are confidential...The staff is well informed on how to deal with the incident and how to further proceed with the situation...Note: Public shaming can be counter-productive to building a strong community. PyCon does not condone nor participate in such actions out of respect."
