    Friends don't look down on you because of your gender and disregard your value as a person just because "You have tits."  Friends don't purposely put you down, and they certainly don't disregard your achievements and (From the sound of your OP) excellent job performance just because you are a girl.

    Tell John he can take those cookies and shove them up his ass along with his misogynistic bullshit.  Don't put up with that shit, don't waste a second of your time on anyone who will look down on you and fault you for your gender.
    DAMN SKIPPY TO ALL OF THIS.

    I would eat the cookies.

    And I would continue documenting and recording any and all douchetastic behavior by him. Forgive, never forget and such. 

    Also, it would take a hell of a lot more then cookies to get me to forgive him in this case.

    I think it's ridiculous that he thinks everything is all a-okay just because he said he was sorry and gave you stuff. Nope, not how it works. 

    You know, abusers notoriously behave this way. They hurt you, then turn around and act all nice and wonderful so you let your guard down again. Lots of "I'll change" with zero follow-through.

    Hey, I would probably take cookies. But there better be a LOT of cookies. Every day. For, like, weeks. And groveling. And wine. And general not behaving like an ass for the foreseeable future. Seriously, these comments are way beyond the pale. I'm horrified not just for you, but for every other woman your company might consider hiring while he and his friends are there. He needs to be confronted. I totally understand that you don't want to put your friend-who-is-acting-like-a-lousy-friend in a crappy position. But you need to remember that he is putting himself there. Not you. And if he has a habit of running his mouth like this, he's not supervisor material and never will be, no matter how good his technical skills are.

    Thank you all again for your comments and support. Obviously cookies do not make up for what was said. I'm still listening/keeping track of what is going on (nothing since last week, though). I'm not delusional and I know there will almost certainly be more comments in the future. I've talked with my supervisor and she gave me some good words of advice (mainly, haters gonna hate/everyone else sees how he treats me and they are making notes too/what matters is what the bosses think and I have nothing to worry about). So, for now, I'm keeping him at arms length until the whole promotion situation gets sorted out. Thank you again for your insight and encouragement!

    Holy shitballs, OP. yeah, I don't care how many cookies this guy brings you, this guy is not your friend. Not only would I keep tabs on him with HR, but I would (if this guy really thinks he's your friend...which I still think he's not) have a sit down with him and let him know that you don't think what he did was cute, and it should never happen again. Just ugh.
