This is older generation sexism, it will run wide and deep with him if he does this shit. Types like him are incorrigible - insist it is 'all in good fun' Bull. It is incremental sexism, he will push and persist until he gets slapped down, maybe hard. Still, dealing with him and the bureaucracy is a little like mud wrestling with a pig, you will both get dirty and the pig likes the action, and silent sexists in the admin under the radar will remember your role, so you will get praise as well as dirt - good luck, keep up that GPA. I had a prof who was accused of taking underwater photos of women swimming in the Hart House pool - guilty as charged, but he whined, wiggled and denied and finally lost his case at a hearing. He has passed on now, but it resembles your case. This was 30+ years ago. His ilk have been cleaned out of responsible universities, but I see they persist in places.
