How often do you call someone out on sexist comments/behaviour at work?

I’m thinking about all the low level stuff that happens every day. Comments like telling a (male) colleague to “Stop crying like a girl”.

A man apologising to the woman in the meeting for swearing.

A man apologising to the woman in the meeting for swearing

My male head of department told me something this week about a work issue which so exasperated me I said "oh for fuck's sake". I very rarely swear and I apologised to him.

In general I don't think swearing should happen in a workplace. It will , because frustrations occur, but it is correct that there should be an apology.
