Just served on a jury for this:

4-2 to leave it.
Yes the joke was juvenile and kind of silly but I thought it rather funny and creative actually. I certainly didn't think it was all that "sexist" or related to "porn".

I'm afraid there's not much appreciation for the difference between playful aggression that isn't really being acted on and dangerous aggressive action. Humor is aggressive, startling, is supposed to catch you off guard. Of course I have my limits, but MY limits are reasonable!
