Early days of my career in Southern Ontario, yes. the coworkers were often disgusting, and there was no PC movement yet, but it just seemed so wrong to me so I found different circles.
When I moved to BC I found the office culture much different, discussions were normal. The companies had actual rules and expectation surrounding respect and boundaries.
For the most part now its not common place in my bubble, but occasionally I have been in sales meetings (I’m not sales) and clients and sales often bond over stupid jokes , golf and discussing hot ladies.
Its like it all goes together somehow.
