Well, I think that is different a bit, and I wouldnt do something like that.
I wouldnt make inapproriate comments to a woman at all, but even with other guys - if you can tell someone doesnt like it (ie - they dont answer back, they dont laugh, etc) then people wouldnt pick on them - at least not in the environment I work.
Its just a set of private jokes I guess which some people opt in to.

1986.
While eating lunch with my fellow machinists at the cafeteria table,
this type of banter between the young & older males was common:
"Damn, girl, you're too pretty to be a dyke what gives?
They'd then start gossiping about the few other handful of women machinists throughout the plant. words like: butt ugly- mustache Molly - Ball buster Betty
They insisted that all women machinists were 'dykes' I never heard them use the words
homosexual or gay. Queer & faggot, yes. Then the conversations would turn to other
frat boy horsehit.
The second week, I ate lunch by myself in my car.
