Is not this in one way or the other spreading the belief of inequality of morality between genders, which is a form of discrmination?

OSU!
Good point kaka-san, but what I was intending to say was that this would not happen amongst a DECENT group of women...Gary's suggestion was that it would happen with ANY group of women, and I disagree. You might find some groups of women, from some social settings, where this would be common practice.

I don't have issue that the girls might ask if he is cute. Sure. Would they then embark on predatory comments? Highly unlikely. And no decent bunch of gentlemen would actually, either.

And chatting about the hunk at the gym is very different to talking about someones lifelong friend/teacher! That to me is the distinguishing feature. If a group of women HAD done that, I doubt anyone would be saying it is OK. It would be lewd, disrespectful, and demeaning to both the participants and the target of their attentions.
