I work in a male dominated environment. One of the men in the office is a little bit older than the rest of us so this may be a generational thing, however he often makes comments that I think are quite sexist. For example he oftern goes out on site visits and mentions to the women that we should make sure the kettle is on when he gets back. When he gets back he says "im back ladies" implying that somebody needs to make him a brew! The men were looking to start a football team a few months ago and he said the women could get involved too as they needed somebody to wash and iron the kits! Would you report this or would you just say its office banter?

I agree, not ideal. But have you tried just having a word with him and asking him to stop? I wonder if this may work and avoid the need further bad feeling/reporting etc. that may be all it needs.

Sound like he is an obnoxious twat but I wouldn’t report him, he
needs brought down a peg or two by the women he is being a twat to and needs to be shown that his stupid comments can be more than matched and clamp him up. It will
soon stop him. If he really is genuinely being a dick and being seriously sexist then u need to start documenting it every time and keep a note for evidence. A joke is a joke until its
not.
