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.

    Yeah, the long way. I spent years trying to be an “ethical meat eater” and “acknowledging the sacrifice of the animals I am eating” before I was forced to acknowledge the truth screaming in my face. Eating animals depends on pushing that stuff from your mind and the more you think about it, the harder it gets. Eventually I simply could not stand the ever growing cognitive dissonance anymore. It makes you fucking crazy.

    I also don’t imitate the kids from “Diff’rent Strokes” anymore, but that’s a separate thing.
