He wasn't saying that casual sex is wrong, he said using that phrase is wrong because it reduces women down to just their genitals. There's obviously a line you gotta draw between being cool with people expressing sexual desires, and letting those desires clash with others' humanities.
And yes, it would be a bit ridiculous if you made a scene every time you heard a man use a phrase like that, just like it would be ridiculous to make a scene every time some white person made an unwitting racist comment. But you gotta learn to spot things like that and counter them when you have conversations with men you trust.
