I had to go through something a lot like this once. Long story short, suck it up and move on. Something that is a bit trivial like this will ruin your future at that company if you take any action. Situations like this pretty much favors the offender if they are your superior. Johnny Law requires a repeated history of harassment offenses before they step in. Also, you need the willingness of the Company to be proactive for you. Companies are usually unwilling to fire upper management unless forced to do so. This situation gives your superior a lot of room to quietly gently caress with you. Basically, the offender will receive a series of hand-slaps before getting hit with the hammer. I was in a meeting with three other coworkers. It was me, my equal counterpart, our boss and his (Executive level) boss. The Exec. and I had a strictly professional relationship for many years. It was clear to the both of us that we were not friends. Very early on I found his personal views and morals very suspect and offensive. Over the years, parts of our conversations involved small reminders (mostly me reminding him) that personal info and personal conversation was out of bounds. During the meeting, the Exec. got a little heated at me and said a few useless lines to me in a very demeaning way. Then he added "You know what!? I'm more of a man than you are! I'm more man than you ever will be! My balls are definitely bigger than yours." I fired back saying "gently caress you, don't you ever dare bring up anything personal like that. Besides, I fought through two wars so idiots can have opinions like that but sexual and personal poo poo like that does not belong in the workplace!" He made certain to clearly state everything again and that his intent was a personal attack. All of this right in front of two of our coworkers. I told them that the meeting was over and I'm leaving. He tried to have me fired for leaving the meeting. I made it clear I wanted HR and a Union Rep. to meet with me so that I could file harassment charges. In the end, all I got was a verbal apology and he got a harassment warning on his record. I fought to have him fired for the incident. Instead, he got a quiet nod from our CEO to do as he pleased but to tread lightly doing it. He made it his priority to see my career there to stall out and come to an end. This is the type of poo poo that unfolds into newsworthy workplace violence. Eventually, I chose to quit before I did something newsworthy.
