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.

    It’s an absurd comparison and the fact that you can say sir/madam and you literally can’t bring yourself to say the n-word says everything.

    This isn’t even about respecting peoples’ pronouns and referring to people the way they’d like to be referred to, this is about going out of your way to not use gendered language in any and all conversation because not doing so is somehow the equivalent of not saying the “n word”. That is a little silly.
