I constantly meet asian developers (Singapore , India, China, etc) with this edgelord personality. They come to American conferences and meetups, say some wild sexist shit, and someone has to politely let them know not to.
Some backtrack. Some apologize. Some literally freeze up and pretend like it didn’t happen.
Many of my guy coworkers have been (and are) sort of misogynistic, and homophobic (I’m in India). It makes me really uncomfortable. Might start reporting people to HR one day.
We do still live in a bubble in the west. We’re fighting for equity across genders and race, while some parts of the world are still questioning if sexual harassment against women at work is really that big of a deal.
Gonna sound racist but deal with it.

Just get to know HR first. They might be mysogynists themselves (even if they are female).

That last part is a face saving culture reaction. If you’re feeling culturally sensitive the thing to do is just move on and see if they do it again.
