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.

    It took one of those meat market experiences to make me self-reflect about how I treated women as a straight man.

    Thankfully I was relatively young when it happened, but I’ll always regret how I treated women before then.

      You know what, I never treated women that way but I certainly gained a lot of empathy for them after that.
