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 get that, I really do. Thing is, life is hard and arduous a lot of the time and I have way too many things on my mind to even link a word like ‘lame’ to a meaning like that.

    And a lot of people DO shun other people for using this language, which I get when words like ‘gay’ are used as an insult.

    I’d definitely not call myself privileged because I use the word ‘lame’ though.
