I doubt that one guy joking about dongles constitutes a sexist comment. Also 25% of people who drive have been in a car accident. So should I think "Maybe some of the people sitting next to me have been in car accidents, and me talking about cars might remind them of a traumatic experience?" While what the men did was immature and inappropriate it didn't require the response it did. Also 20% of men have also been sexually assaulted at some point in their lives, also it been shown that men are a lot less likely to report it then woman so we can only guess how high that number is. So men can also be looking over their shoulders. All the things you're saying can also be flipped around to men. We should be aware of offending anyone not just women. I don't think you should use the phrases "known space" and "absolutely" those aren't proved facts. The bottom line is that, that one guy was being immature, but it didn't constitute him getting fired he never mentioned females in any offensive manner.
