Definitely not. She's clearly in the abuser position and her reaction was disproportionate and inconsiderate, to the like of baseless sexual harassment lawsuits we've all heard about.
I'd even go an extra step and say IMHO what she did was misplaced sexism as she misinterpreted and misrepresented the situation and would probably not have done anything if women were making the same dongle joke.

I don't think she shouldn't have said anything. But taking it to the Internet without talking to the guys was her choice.
If someone is making you uncomfortable, you say something. You don't go nuclear just because someone else, somewhere else called you a whore.
This is exactly the type of attitude that perpetuates the idea that a woman should not say or do anything if uncomfortable.
