The job is physical labor and he commented on my body type as well which I found uncomfortable as he said multiple times that I am “petite.” I was offered the job and I'm not in position to pass it up but the thought of training with this guy makes me uneasy.

Where do I go from here? Is this grounds for a lawsuit and how would I proceed with that? Advice is much appreciated
