Take a look at that picture. How many women do you see? It’s a male field. She should know when she participates in a male dominated field that there is, and always will be, a certain amount of potty humor. It’s a Y chromosome thing. Y’all can’t help it sometimes. Love y’all, warts and all.
When I worked high tech I told coworkers I didn’t care, as long as it didn’t get creepy and personal about me or someone else we worked with. Out of ear shot I couldn’t care less.
And I would NEVER have invoked job karma for such a thing. Bad mojo with that.
And this Adria chick is either a complete puritan or new to the tech field because the dongle jokes have been around since dongles were invented. Perhaps her real problem is with ‘dongles’. If the perps discussion had been loud enough to be distracting I might have turned around and asked them to talk about their dongles later.
FWIW the most completely disgusting sexual banter wasn’t when I worked in the all male field. It was when I worked in a completely female office environment. O. M. G. The guys I worked with would have had to take lessons on gross and insulting personal discussions from the sweetest looking little 30 something former sorority chicks.
Some people expect adults at a professional function to act like adults, the horror.

I’ve been in the same situation. It was shocking and graphically more repulsive than anything I’ve ever heard said from guys.
