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.

      Nah, that sounds like more your thing. I’m going to do what makes those around me happy and comfortable.

      Are they wrong about public opinion of the N word though? This entire thread is a collection of words/phrases/actions that people (and often society at large) used to think were completely harmless but gradually realized carried some negative connotation–or were even downright slurs–to certain people, and committed to stop using.

      This is not necessarily a dig on you personally, but if you think that people proactively being considerate of fellow humans is a bad thing or “going too far”, maybe that’s a you problem.
