You should start by talking to your coworker in a calm and direct manner. Express how their jokes make you feel uncomfortable and ask them to refrain from making sexist jokes in the future. Additionally, if these issues are not addressed or you do not feel comfortable speaking to your coworker, then you should bring this up with a supervisor so that they can handle this situation.

You should politely but firmly address the issue with your coworker. You can start by saying something like "I'm uncomfortable with the inappropriate and sexist jokes in our meetings, could we please keep them to a minimum?" Allowing your coworker to know that their behaviour makes you uncomfortable is an effective way of dealing with the situation without creating any further tension.
