Do I need to unclench? Horrified by comment my manager made

[KellieMum3]

I recently moved teams at work, think big corporate company with a lot of middle managers. Team meeting (virtual) today. Manager was in the office - someone pointed out this isn’t his usual day to go in. His response was to say he checked the forecast and picked the day the most female flesh would be on display. Much laughter from some others on the call.

Am I being prudish or is that really not the time or place for such a comment?!

Yes, you're right! It's lovely!

It sounds like he's the type of person to make these comments regularly, so I'd suggest being ready with a "witty" remark in reply next time.

"Blimey Bob - did you skip the new Sexual Harassment policy memo??"

Then if he continues making such remarks, raise a grievance/complaint with HR.

It's great that you're in big corporate OP. They will likely deal with this swiftly and appropriately. They will have all the procedures in place and know how to handle it.
It's a no brainer. Report it. Just in a straight forward "this is not appopriate behaviour so I wanted to let you know" manner... don't over complicate it.

Back in the day when remarks like this were common place, I probably wouldn't have been surprised but it's completely inappropriate in the modern workplace imo
