It actually does bother me, and I wish I had the time to fix it, but fixing it involves much more than the comically large amount of work you're asking of me: it means convincing this PhD student that he made a genuine mistake that betrays his sexism, and getting him to acknowledge that mistake by fixing his own slides.
I wish the instructor was more aware of his own sexism when he created this material, so that neither he nor I nor anyone would have to fix this problem now. He chose this careless example, and so it's his responsibility to fix it, no matter how busy he may be as a PhD student. We're all busy, but these slides have his name on them, and demonstrating that he knows better now is something only he can do.

Fixing it would go very far to prove that you are sincere about the problem and isn't a hell of a lot of work. Going that far to fix it is more likely to convince him that it actually matters than anything else you could do.
