1. Is there another female coworker that you feel close enough to to mention this?

You could say that you didn't feel comfortable mentioning it to her, but feel that someone should. Maybe she could let her know. I guess it depends on how comfortable of a working relationship you all have. Here at work, we have someone who is not involved with HR, but is tagged to be the 'feel good' person. She's very tactful, is the official welcome person or the person that people go to when they need a shoulder to vent or cry on. If there is someone like that in your office, they may be the best person.
