He says 'most women would just laugh', I think he's delusional. Settle a debate please

Hi all. I paid for my boyfriend to get a tattoo yesterday as a gift as he has wanted one for a while. I saw these messages earlier of a conversation he had with a friend whilst getting the tattoo. I was (I believe) rightfully disgusted and annoyed. He says it was just banter and 'lads being lads'. He apologised but added that most women in relationships would just laugh if they saw those messages and maybe be a little annoyed but I'm overreacting.

We live together and I am pregnant. Am I being unreasonable here? (His friend asked who was doing his tattoo, he sent the screenshot. I have blanked out her details for privacy).

All I can say as a man is, "shame, hon." We don't know your full situation but this is defo not a gentleman. And the girl writing to him is NOT a lady. As you're preggers, I'd steer clear now if it's his. I say this not knowing your situation, Anything I say cannot be thought of as good advice because we know nothing about the implications.

I'd warn him that this is a great big red flag and any misbehaviour like that is the last thing he will ever do wrong. If ever a "next time" occurs, the door hitting his behind is guaranteed.

Be firm. Be strong. You will get past this eventually, but don't be a mat for indecent people, men or women.
