If women want equal rights...and by that I mean TRULY equal...then they should learn to take a fucking joke as a joke...Men call each other stupid names and throw stupid comments at each other, all the time...do we report those playful, non-hurtful comments? No...
The same goes for overly sensitive men...
If you can't take a joke...stop listening and stfu...
As for saying <quote>"I'd fork that guys repo"</quote> ... Yes...that can (CAN...not SHOULD) be taken as a sexual innuendo...but only if you have a dirty mind and you decide to twist it into such.

^Yeah, that was a mess.
I would presume he would have a case for unfair dismissal.
Whether it's worth following up ...

Tbh, if a company fires you without really having all the info (That coupled with the fact SHE lost her job for this stupidity) would you REALLY want the job back?
