i think he is an idiot and im sure everyone else does too. i would just let it go for now unless he continues doing this. however, if it is making you uncomfortable and affecting your job performance then i would address the issue now. there always has to be at least one man who bashes women in a situation like yours. its ashame a man has to feel so intimitated by a woman that he makes immature comments at the workplace. whatever he's going through is his problem not yours so dont let him have the power to steal your joy. misery loves company and it will get to him more if you just ignore his immature butt.

I believe you do have grounds for a suit. Seek legal advice, weigh the pros and cons of filing a suit and go from there. I would suggest going to your HR dept. first if you have one however.
Ignoring him doesn't make the problem go away as one poster said.
Calling him names only makes you as guilty and puts you on his level.

Legally there isn't anything you can do. You can complain to your supervisor but the fact that he's a man he may not understand what it is that bothers you or why. It's worth a shot though.

The first step would be to report it to your supervisor and HR. If it is not resolved then you can file a law suit against the company and the guy.

He's just saying some stereotypes. Doesn't necessarily mean he hates women.

Ignore him. Some men are so insecure about their own sexuality and confidence that they have the need to place women as scapegoats or be prejudice against them. If anyone is petty, its him

swearing is neither big or clever but sometimes is necessary for the effect. just tell 'em to f-u-c-k off! and flip em your middle finger. thats what my wife does when blokes are being sexist toward her! if they know they are getting on your nerves they will do it even more. if the 'f' off doesn't work then a swift kick in his happy sacks will do the trick!

That's going to depend solely on who your manager is.. what type of person they are and how they handle conflicts. If you know that the problem would be handled appropriately (i.e. a private conversation w/ the offender advising him to cease the comments) then absolutely, make the complaint. However, if the entire office would inevitably hear/learn of the problem, I'm afraid it would escalate and magnify. If that's the case, keep the complaint to yourself and maybe look for a job with a better work environment.

I would suggest talking to him first unless he really is making you feel uncomfortable around him and in that case it might be best to have a third party sit in on the conversation and mediate. But you should not just let it go, it is not right.

A man can dislike a female supervisor and still like women. The problem is, with so many men around, he feels comfortable talking like "one of the guys." Unfortunately, this is seldom good in an office. If this guy is a subordinate, call him in and say "knock it off," and he probably will. If you are equals, wait for him to make a comment like that and say something in front of your co-workers. Shame is a powerful tool. Especially to the first comment you mention.
Either way, doing nothing is not an option, unless he's a superior. Then you can talk to HR, or start job-hunting.

has this persons actions caused an adverse employment action?
has this persons comments caused the workplace to become hostile toward you?
would a reasonable person feel as if these comments are hostile or sexual in nature?
if the answer is NO then this is not discrimination or sexual harassment.
if the answers are YES then you must first let this person know that the comments are unwelcome and make you uncomfortable by either telling him or making it known to a supervisor. you must also complain to management of the company and if they fail to address the issues then you can contact the EEOC and they will look into the matter and determine if any kind of violations have actually occurred.
YES some men (and women) are idiots and make stupid, callous, uneducated comments.......................seldom are they more then that. discrimination and harassment does happen and it is all a matter of how it makes you feel and effects your work environment. so do what you think is best for you and your future.
