If comfortable doing so, should Samantha tell the women to stop making comments and jokes about her dating preference?

The correct answer is yes

The correct answer is yes

If comfortable doing so, Samantha should ask the women to stop making the comments and jokes about her dating preference. All employees are encouraged to tell the person who’s offending them to stop, even if they are simply a bystander to inappropriate conduct. Doing so can often end an unpleasant situation right away. But it's certainly not required under policy and if you're not comfortable asking the person to stop for any reason, you can go directly to your supervisor or HR.
