I'm a guy (not that it matters in this context). You deal with all of this inappropriate behavior in the same way: you shit can the people responsible. They get a verbal warning the first time, and the second time they're gone. If people aren't fired or disciplined harshly for bad social behavior, it's sending the message that the behavior is an accepted part of the culture. At the end of the day, no one irreplaceable, and people internalize this message extremely quickly after 1-2 firings.
