Me personally? I’ve become much less tolerant of sexist humor. Back in the day, cracking a joke at women’s expense was pretty common when I was a teen. As I’ve matured and become aware to the horrific extent of toxicity and bigotry pervading all tiers of our individualistic society, I’ve come to see how exclusionarly and objectifying that sort of ‘humor’ really is, and I regret it deeply.

      I basically agree. It’s great that we’ve acknowledged that a lot of things shouldn’t be said so casually, but there has also been an over-correction. I’m not going to call people/things “retarded” like I did at 13 years old in 1999, for examlple, but if you’re getting butthurt that I wrote the word instead of “the r-word” for an example, you need to calm down.

      Have you found that you’ve changed the context you find appropriate or has that also stayed the same over time?
