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 started addressing people online with “Girls” and some completely lost their shit and got incredibly angry. I kinda think different now about addressing whole groups as “Boys”.

    I realized that the fact people think “Boys” is neutral and cool but “Girls” is basically an insult is a problem. And I don’t want to take part in keeping it alive.
