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

Mentally he is more 18 than 25. Which is odd because he is in a good career with a good job where you need maturity but acts like a teenager? He has said awful things to his friends about me from what I can gather, enough so that they want him to get rid of me and he was going along with it. I really get the feel that he is a pushover and just does what his friends want/expect and won't think for himself.

I don't like them because they are sexist, act like douche bags, the ones that have gfs seem to treat them poorly and talk negatively about them, they do stupid things but my partner justifies it as 'so and so has a good job though so even if he sells drugs and dates teenagers its okay' or 'sure he beat up a guy outside a video store but he did finish a law degree so hes okay! (dude cant be a lawyer with a criminal record lol)' and most weekends are 'boys nights' where they go out and get wasted - one time my bf left at around 11/12 at night and his friends messaged him about what a pussy he is and how he isn't a 'lad' anymore, and then didn't speak to him the next day? Great friends right. There is not a single positive thing that he has said about them and the stories he tell about them are awful.

I have been at the receiving end of comments like that, and have cut those people out of my life because it is disgusting. Once a guy did take a photo of me off FB, sent it to me in chat and said that he really liked my dress and I was hot... I blocked him. I asked him once 'Would you like it if people did this about me??' and he said 'No, but my friends and I don't do it about you so it's okay!!' ...?!?!?! Also, when I saw the group chat I noticed they don't do it very often (like all day every day) but that it is almost always my partner initiating it by sending photos of the girls..? He claims his friends do it and make him but I didn't really see that at all.
