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.

    Misogyny in books. I was reading a Morse book. He described the woman of a couple from dyed hair to hammer toes but had no physical description of her husband whatsoever.

      Thats the case in all the crime novels. The woman gets decribed in so much detail that its practically an erotica and the guy is described as having a Y chromosome.

      No one cares how the female looks, my dear authors, just move on ahead with the story!

      People still are like that in most countries and it’s changing far too slowly. Or in the case of Japan, not at all? I don’t live in Japan.
