If someone at work (same gender) mentioned your "crotch" (that word) in front of other colleagues at work, none of which you're close or frank with,

Would you report this incident to HR??

Context very much needed, but it does sound highly inappropriate.

I'm not sure I would get HR involved unless this is a pattern of behavior that is likely to repeat. If it's a pattern of behavior then someone should definitely call attention to it.

@ViciDraco was looking down at my phone. Randomly got a comment by a colleague Passing by.

@ViciDraco outside of work, being derogatory towards me is a pattern by them in front of colleagues. But the setting is at the workplace for the first time

@turningthekeys I'd recommend suggesting that they keep their speech professional in professional settings. Or if it makes you uncomfortable ask them to stop both in and out of work. If they can't abide by that then maybe bring in HR.
