Really gross. 1. your sex life isn’t appropriate work conversation. 2. This specific joke leans on stereotypes about men and women that are so pervasive many people have convinced themselves they aren’t harmful, but ubiquity /= okay. If you find yourself in that situation again and feel safe enough to speak up, I like the scripts Captain Awkward (captainawkward.com) gives when other people have made shit weird and you are only committing the sin of pointing it out. A flat “Wow.” goes a long way.
Um. No. Gross.
A part of me feels like I should just chill and joke with them so I can be more included with the team. But also it feels like these kind of conversations are very inappropriate.
