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 was rewatching some Buffy the vampire Slayer and Buffy asks herself if she’s “mentally challenged” in the second episode.

    It’s kind of crazy to me how I didn’t bat an eye at that just 10 years ago when I was watching the show in high school.
