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.
Those words were not inherently bad. “Retard” is a medical term, just like “obese”. Surprise! You will be shamed for calling someone obese now, despite it’s medical accuracy. We have to change language so we don’t shatter fragile egos.
Few words are inherently bad, it’s the inappropriate context in which they are frequently used that leads to them becoming socially unacceptable.
