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.

    And I assure you the more conservative minded at the time complained that she did not use the term “retarded”

        They absolutely did. Not everyone who watched Buffy was liberal or even had basic decency.

            Or I had crowds of conservatives complaining she was being politically correct by not using the term retarded which was 100% acceptable at that time.
