work issues (coworker)

[adrienmundi]

So the newest new guy, a self proclaimed "skirt chaser" and "gangsta" is finally feeling comfortable enough to try and propagate his idea of guy bonding, namely talking about women in a painfully objectifying way. I've tried combatting it with humor (for example, when talking about hooking up with a girl the night before, then saying, "But she can't be my girlfriend; she gave it up too fast. But we can hang out". My reply, "You just need to get a golden retriever and some hand lotion"), but that's not working. What's worse is, it's spreading; he'll open a conversation, and other guys will laugh, validating/authorizing, or comment, or join in. I don't know how to deal with this gracefully, but it's not comfortable. I mean, we joke with one another, but always from a position of general equals; this is different, and very unwelcome, at least for me.
