Me [23F] with my bf [25M], is this really a normal thing that all men do?

It worries me because he and his friends have a very negative view of women yet he thinks it is normal. They act like they are 'chained up' by their girlfriends, treat any and everything with breasts as though it's all theirs to look at and talk about and have very poor views on women overall. Not long ago we were driving down his road and he waved to his female neighbour, she smiled and he called her a slut for not waving back.. yesterday he called a lady a slut for not indicating through a roundabout properly..? (He just says it out loud, not actually to their faces)

His friends also seem to treat their girlfriends quite poorly. One friend went out drinking, came home, his girlfriend was upset because they had plans to go to the markets early the next morning and now he would be tired/hungover and the friend filmed her being upset at him and sent it to all his mates to laugh at.

In their group chats they often make jabs at us females, I saw one comment not long ago where my partner replied to a group message and he must not have been active in it for a while because someone replied '(humanunicorn) must have finally let him use the computer hahahaha' and they also blame me for him not going out with them every weekend, when I have no say and have never stopped him from going out. He let's them do things like this and it upsets me that I am thought of as some monster that is kidnapping him and controlling him.

I actually think that he might be trying to fit in and that is why he acts this way. He isn't very strong socially and I get the feeling that he will jump through whatever disgusting hoops are there to make his friends think he is as great as they are because he will do what they say or want and whatever their plans are and his reasoning is always because his friends expect him to act that way?
