The bro who hits on, and strikes out, fist bumps is ok in my book, it was an honest appeal to date. It went down like the Hindenburg. He tried to move on. She's holding on to it, though it seems innocent. The rest of this is terrible. I can't believe... I believe all of this is. I know all of these people. These are 'dudes' you and I know, neighbors, co-workers, roommates.... family members. Is the solution just "hey bro, STFU!"?
One possible solution is to talk. To keep talking and amplify different opinions.
I've lost count of how many times I've seen men "quiz" a woman when she says she likes sports or managers saying they cannot "lower the bar to prioritize diversity"
One thing that can be done is pause for a moment and reflect how the same sentence might look if said to a male. Would you "quiz" your buddy when he says he likes sports? If not, don't do it with a woman.

Three words here: Not at work.
Exactly it is extremely unprofessional to do that when you see a co-worker for the first time, especially when they're only an intern and there's a major power difference
