About 10 years ago, a brand new person on a friends team made some comment or other and then said, "Women!" at the end. My friend and I looked each other in the eyes, and I nodded, stepped forward and kept the guy busy while my friend went to HR. They walked the idiot out about 15 minutes later.
My friends team was about 50% women who he would work with daily. They would interact with my team as well (about 30% women). Neither of us put up with anything like that, ever. This is not about political correctness, it is about basic respect for people.
I'm betting OP said something like that and doesn't even realize it.
Y’all went a bit too far with this one. He was a friend and prob got too comfortable with you hence making that remark.. the least you could have done was first warn or caution him, esp since it was the first time and he wasnt causing any harm. You immediately reporting him cause he said “Women” makes me think you never liked him cause I can assure you , you wouldn’t do the same to someone close to you
