>I have never encountered anyone near these levels of sexism in many years of working in the tech industry (albeit in Sweden).

Nor have I, albeit in the US (even in the parts that are Trump-land).

You're European, so maybe you know more about French culture than me: is this something that's endemic to French culture perhaps? Over here in the US, I would be shocked to hear about this crap in any place other than one run by a bunch of 25-year-old frat bros.

This type of thing exists, there's even a saying for it in swedish - "grabbig stämning" (loosely translated: "frat-house feeling"). But the last time I remember someone behaving like this was when I was just starting university, at around 19-20 yo, and even then that was just stuff between guys, never to a girl. We are very conscious of how we talk in sweden, and nobody would drop a comment vaguely similar to the ones mentioned above, unless they really hate their job and want to get fired.
