I don't follow your comment. The reporting guide doesn't say anything about people snickering at 'dongle', and neither does the post we're commenting on. I also don't see anything in the CoC that suggests that snickering at 'dongle' would constitute a violation.

There is a well documented precedent for this exact behavior being considered to be sexual harassment and having negative effects on the accused' professional life.

That's part of the problem: explicit behaviors are not called out, only the effect they have on the accuser matters.

By which you mean there's exactly one instance of it having happened in a completely different community (a Python conference) with a different CoC?
