Most likely some women do, yes... though I've never seen it happen in the direct vicinity (earshot) of the male in question, as happened to me with the large group of male construction workers talking about me and my colleagues in a professional setting. We were giving an introduction for a national survey of immigrants from the university; I dressed in conservative, figure-obscuring clothes (in anticipation of the construction crowd), and we were not encouraging these people in any way. They continued jeering and nudging each other with their elbows as we we were speaking. So no, in my experience I have never seen or heard a group of women behave this way in any kind of professional environment.

Also, I have never heard a group of women talk disrespectfully about an attractive male in my presence, but that may be because I try to not be around people who have a habit of speaking disrespectfully. So perhaps some women do talk about "hitting that" or wanting to fuck a random guy on a regular basis, but I find it distasteful and those are not people that I want to become friends with, nor do I encourage their behavior.

Case in point. I went to a play last week in Iceland where Gael Garcia Bernal (of Motorcycle Diaries and other Spanish-language movie fame) was playing a role where he dropped his pants and waved himself around, the full monty. My friend and I were sitting in the 4th row. We observed that he was attractive (once again, MM is right in that when a male is flashing his naked body in front of us, there is more chance of commenting on their attractiveness), but we did not whoop and shout and say, "I'd hit that, baby!!". We did not even say it to each other after the play. Or any other time. Yes, he was attractive. Did that mean we needed to talk about fucking him? No. I would not have spent time with a friend who wanted to talk in that manner.

Instead, we spent the next 3 hours "bonding" by talking in detail about a whole host of other things (relationship dynamics, TV shows, politics, languages, movies, more relationship analysis, living in other countries, jobs, music, frustrations with life in general, etc), none of which included which guys we had thought about fucking lately. Is that such a difficult standard to uphold? I am not saying that guys are supposed to talk about the same things that women do--hardly. But when the conversation drifts to which women you'd like to fuck--again, WHY encourage it? Why not hold yourselves to a higher standard, as I asked earlier (and which only Jinn replied to)?
