Accepted Answer

Your wife can file a complaint with the state commission on human/civil rights regarding the hostile environment created by the display of sexually explicit material. As far as cursing, according to the U.S. Supreme Court, the harassment/discrimination/hostile environment laws are not designed to be a code of civility in the workplace, so his cursing will not be a factor unless he was only doing it because of her sex. Once she files her complaint with the commssion on human/civil rights, then she can hire an attorney and sue the company based upon the outcome of the commission's investigation.
