Fuck anyone who buys this. Adria did a real mean thing in response to some juvenile jokes, but this is the real fucking problem and if someone got shamed for this, they'd deserve it.
Even my feminist friends would have no problem with this stuff, its all a bit funny.
What did Linus say? "I like offending people, because I think people who get offended should be offended"
I like that quote, why? Because some people get offended too easily which makes everyone's life a little harder.
I think maybe Adria wanted to be the center of attention, and she was on a "Joan of Arc" mission which is a little self-involved. Wouldn't you agree?
At the end of the day, it was a joke, you people in the tech community need to lighten up, everyone is so serious here. You should come to Australia and have some fun, although you will probably get offended.
As a general principle, this doesn't work quite well enough. It gets one by well enough most of the time, with only a small failure rate. Those can be real doozies, though. Eventually, you will meet someone who you will offend and didn't get offended too easily. No one is perfect or knows everything, after all.
But if one is well intentioned and stays cool, it will probably work out in the end.
My only theory is that this is the puritanical aspect of the US we always hear about. In the UK double-entendre's are so ingrained into our society that I can't imagine someone being offended by this.
Part of being a mature adult in 2013 is having the ability to not be offended by silly, immature humor. The childish response is to cry and tattle.
