How the hell did I end up back in 1985?

6. I'm not surprised.

It's not an accident. It's meant to show women (including you) that you don't belong there. It's meant to make women (including you) uncomfortable. It's meant to make the workplace hostile to women so that the men will have 50% less competition than they would otherwise.

I worked in a male-dominated environment for a long time. Even when they don't have posters of nude women on their walls, they have their way of making it clear to women that we don't belong. It's hard to fight that and win. I would be very careful if I were you. Don't assume this is something someone did thoughtlessly and that you will be able to single-handedly change the culture at this company. They will find a way to make you into the bully who is making the environment hostile to men. Don't assume they won't be able to bring you down. In fact, your best option might be to look for another job at another company that respects women. I'm serious. Good luck.
