well, as disrespectful and chauvinistic as it is, i wouldn't say that its sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment is harassment or unwelcome attention of a sexual nature. It includes a range of behavior from mild transgressions and annoyances to serious abuses, which can even involve forced sexual activity.
What was done to the one female, is rude and a prime example of the male tendency to stereotype women, but its not harassment. unless he said that and then hit the girl on the butt. that would be a whole other story!
i hope this helps!

That would really suck, hope you/she had a good comeback that made everyone laugh, and resulted in you/her not getting "the boys" coffee. I would say that it is, but not-court worthy harassment.

I'd consider it inappropriate and disrespectful. However, sexual harassment consists of "Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature". http://www.de2.psu.edu/harassment/legal/

It depends on what position she held in the group. If she was just a secretary, or stenographer, she would be the least important of the group and her absence would not deter from the meeting.
I don't think, if she was a key person, they would ask her that.

He was most likely just joking to break the ice. I wouldnt take it too seriously. Just keep an eye on it.

Yes, it was condescending and sexist.
