Quote from canoehead
As you get older and more self assured those situations will get easier to handle. You won't feel as assaulted, it'll be "what a jerk!" and you move on. Any verbal innuendo and I usually say "I don't even want to hear about it," with some force. Exposure- they must cover up before you will enter the room.
Report his behavior, not just for you, but for the less assertive person who needs your back up when she reports it. As a group you are stronger. It'll make others feel better to know they are not the only one. That's proof that his tiresome behavior is not their fault.
I think you are right. The older I get, the less it bothers me but I still don't put up with it. I even laugh sometimes because it's ridiculous. Not a nervous, uncomfortable laugh. An "are you for real" laugh. And then I go into my "respect me" speech.
