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.

    Have casual conversations with other guys about girls appearance, it is a good way to start a conversation and get quick sympathy from other men. But is definitely not right.

      I feel like there’s still an acceptable way to do this as long as you keep it respectful and follow the mantra of “say more with less”. For example, let’s say we were at a cookout and I came by and said “Hey dude, have you seen Josh Allen’s girlfriend? She’s absolutely stunning”. You pull your phone out Google her we both nod and then move on to something else. If it lingers more than that or wades into the more murky waters of specifics then I agree it’s totally over the line.

        I guess so, still… I prefer to actively keep myself away from that. I guess it also depend on your age, in your teenage years was more acceptable, but with the age it becomes more and more creepy.
