Am I overreacting or is it "everyday sexism"?

[Aika]

There is a guy at work (let's call him G) who likes making jokes, which are slightly inappropriate - sexually charged, homophobic, poking fun at mental health, the usual. Recently, before leaving on holidays he asked a male colleague to "look after his women". Turns out, that he sits next to several women in a row, including me, which is rare in our male-dominated industry - the fact I didn't register before that day. The other guy didn't get his joke, so the explanation followed: "they are only women, and they need me to look after them. Aika, you agree you really need my protection, don't you". G knows how I feel about sexism, so I answer calmly: "I definitely don't need anyone's protection and you know how I feel about casual sexism in the office", so he turns round to the other guy and says: " she doesn't understand yet how much she needs to be protected, because she is weak and all women need stong man like us looking after them etc etc".

Literally four weeks later I am still pissed off. Am I a snowflake? Should I stop worrying? WWYD?

I'd start 'bantering ' with him about something that'll bug him aka take the piss out of him I. E. His accent.

Why have you not reported him to your manager? That’s what you need to do

Something like:
"Protection from you, more likely. Be careful you still have a job to come back to if you keep making those sexist remarks."

Yanbu.
This man is creating a toxic working environment with his nasty sexism and other disgusting attitudes. It's unprofessional and unacceptable.

Make a formal complaint to hr about this specific incident of sexist hate speech towards you. Document every single sexist, homophobic or otherwise discriminatory comment made from now on and submit your log to HR weekly, asking them what they intend to do about the fact that they are employing someone with such unacceptable attitudes to their fellow humans.

There are two parts to a joke.

The person telling the story and then the people laughing at the end of said joke.

If you're not laughing, it's not a joke. I would report him. It made you feel uncomfortable and no-one should be made to feel that way because of some inconsiderate prick who thinks he's the next Jim Davidson.

This is not the 19-fucking-50s. The guy is a dickhead.
