Am I the only one that thought their comment was in good humor? Maybe my sense of humor is twisted, but having attended many hackathons, I got a good chuckle as it was obvious that many of them turn out to be sausage fests. I felt this comment poked fun at this.
I can see why someone who meant well could have said this without realizing it was offensive, but that doesn't change the fact that it genuinely was offensive.
