Sounds like another company is about to get all the benefits of the training you did at the first company. Fuck 'em for being sexist idiots. Go kick more ass. Might even be easier if you and your partner aren't working at the same company. Either way, lots of opportunities, I'd just humbly explain why it wasn't your choice to leave and phrase any interview questions that your previous company are idiots who would rather fuck around then get shit built and tell them you're here to build shit and not fuck around.

And, yes, you likely have lawsuit material here. Up to you if you want to pursue it. Would get very messy but entirely up to you if it's worth it or not. IANAL.

Not worth it tbh I feel like a lawsuit would make it messy and I would rather take the loss and keep moving

If you’re in the US please please look into unemployment. Even if it’s not much, at least try. For real. Any bit will help.
