It is relevant. The entire predicate of this situation was that she is offended by such jokes because they oppress women (a bizarre and utterly arbitrary conclusion, by the way). If an overheard joke made between friends is oppressive to women in her view, then a public tweet of the same nature must also be oppressive to women. It's hypocrisy made plain.
No, it is hypocrisy. She was clearly feigning offense. She eavesdropped her way into internet infamy and her behavior was so extraordinarily irrational, I'm disappointed the PyCon organizers (and everyone else who has encountered this story) didn't laugh her out of the convention.
Am I cultivating a hyperactive sense of irony if I point out that, instead of turning around and asking them to take it elsewhere (as a mature adult ought to have done), she played the "damsel in distress" card and tweeted to thousands of people to come stop the big, bad boys behind her from making naughty jokes?
I think it sounds promising. As much as my habits are solidly in the "file explorer" space, I can see its limitations.
But, in order to even convince me there's a viable alternative, the user interface of something like Collections has to really knock it out of the park for me. So much so, it seems daunting.
