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.

    Thank you. I wish people would stop identifying as “spiritual.” For some, it’s a way to avoid saying, “I’m evangelical and I want to convert you,” for others its “I grew up religious and I don’t believe but it feels good,” while for others its, “I’m an atheist but I am afraid you will judge me if I say as much.” etc. It is a meaningless assertion that makes me suspect someone is vacuous until proven otherwise.
