Whenever I’m out in public with my friends, if a woman passes by, they always feel compelled to say whether or not “would bang”. They make it out like I’m the weird one for not doing this.

Yeah I have friends like that. It seems to be normalized in the among the more reactionary friends of mine, while the more progressive ones (as in some radlib tendencies) seem to be more crticial of such behavior although it still happens, albeit less frequently. It always makes me really uncomfortable.

Depends on where you live and who you hang with. In my experience this behavior isn’t normal and showing it would get you shamed and made fun of if not blackballed

I’ve never understood this. I’ve never wanted to do that kind of thing.

Nope. Even when I was a teen we just looked and were happy with it. I have one friend that comments on instagram girls but we mostly don’t care to label them into “would bang” or “would not bang”.

Pretty common and has been for a long time ( at least since the patriarchy ), it used to be even harrassment when wolf-whistling and similar practices were more common. As women rights have progressed, these practices have been replaced by these whispers between friends. Still the people that do these things are pretty much telling you that they only think about sex.
