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.

    They don’t feel bad for using those terms, they feel bad about using them on someone incorrectly. There’s nuance here that is lost on those who struggle to grasp the difference and phrasing things as if we’re being forced to stop using them or “delete them from our vocabulary” is counterproductive.
