As mentioned in other recent discussions here, one component of workplace sexism is treating women as instantiations of a stereotype present only to fulfill male desires. Rather than, say, as competent professionals.
The classic example is having the woman get coffee. Others recently discussed include having the woman take notes or organize a potluck. Related is calling attention to a woman's body in a way that treats her as a sex object.
The "that's what she said" joke could be seen as an example of that women-are-for-sexy-times error. Note that in The Office (the American version at least), the person who makes that joke is Michael, the clueless and offensive boss. That's not an accident.
