Depends whether he knows its a joke or not, and whether he treats girls different because of it. Teachers probably right.

He doesnt appear to have any issue with girls - he has a 4 people friendship group, 2 are girls who have all played together for 2 years in pretty much happy bliss
Relies a lot on his older sister to help him with things and loves her to bits
So Ive certainly got no worries over his views on girls.
Personally I think its a joke that he has jumped on and as a family we have always laughed about it (both ways boys better than girls, girls better than boys etc) and hes obviously taking that fun into the classroom

It sounds like it's pretty much just taken in jest at home during a very specific scenario (I'm sure he doesn't really believe boys are superior and no doubt your Mrs would be having a word if so). I wouldn't be worried about changing anything at home as long as he understands it's just a joke or banter or whatever. Which sounds like it is. Understanding the difference and what is appropriate in different situations is a useful social skill in itself.
Probably does need to reign it in elsewhere mind. My boys are a similar age (4 & 6) and they understand there are things they can get away with at home, that wouldn't be appropriate elsewhere.
Mostly all the fart and poo "jokes" they're a bit obsessed with and being allowed to call each other and me and their mum idiots in a jokey way (thanks to the treehouse books for that one).

I would have kindly reminded her that he is 5 years old and that yesterday he said his best friend was a frog he found in the garden before trying to eat grass.
she will never speak to you again.

Ah come on, jokes about pumps and willies have been funny for kids for years. My niece used to pee herself laughing at them from the age of understanding to now - and she still does. As do all the kids. Best stick to calling them pumps and willies though.
