What's something you used to do/see/say but don't anymore because you don't feel it's right? - Lemmy.world

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.

Calling everyone “man”, “bro”, “you guys”

What’s wrong with that?

A lot of FLINTA people don’t like it. It can be especially upsetting to AMAB people who don’t identify as male. It’s not the same, but it’s similar to things like the n-word, or the f-slur. If someone chooses to use the word about themselves, that’s one thing, but if they don’t, there’s a very good chance you’d upset them.

What do those acronyms mean?

FLINTA - Frauen, Lesben, Intersexuelle, Nicht-binär, Transgender and Agender. It’s a German acronym, and basically covers all non-cishet men, which a bent toward the female side of things.

AMAB - assigned male at birth. Basically if the doctor slapped your arse and said “it’s a boy”, you’re AMAB.

Cool thanks! I didn’t expect German.
