I'm all for equal representation in FOSS communities, but this seems like a bit much. So a guy said "Who's the Man?", and a feminist labels this as sexist behavior? If someone had said "That's gay.", or "Get back in the kitchen.", I could see the case for there being offense taken, but no such thing has happened.
At this point, being politically correct becomes unwieldy. In a sense, you're always going to offend some group of people without even meaning to. That's just part of life.
