Does anyone have some context to this?

In a nutshell:

* @laurakalbag previously spoke at @leydon's tech meet-up.

* She was involved in a twitter debate regarding gender equality in tech.

* @leydon chipped in with a comment meant in jest: https://twitter.com/leydon/status/294450249567711232

* @laurakalbag took offence and a twitter fight ensued.

For context, @leydon is an openly gay male who runs a small tech meet-up group that has had a large percentage of female speakers in the past.
