It is well known that most women don't like that kind of behavior.

If a man chooses to do something he knows to be offensive, it's wrong.
It doesn't even have to be objectifying her, per se, but it's still wrong.

True. I agree with you.

However, even with that, I don't think that Duane deserved a slap for doing what is all too common for guys [and some girls] to do. Perhaps a stern talking to, or at least a "Hey buddy, my eyes are up here," or even an irritated look, but not a slap.

I just think this girl over-reacted is all. Now, if Duane had made a lewd comment of some kind, then perhaps it would have warranted a slap, but I don't think he even got a chance to say, "I'm sorry."
