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.

Nothing really replaced it as a call-out, which sucks.

There are lots of words one can use: "Wanker", "Idiot", "Dumb-ass".

    Wanker is the closest in approximate meaning, but I'm not British

    If you're British you'll know what I mean. Wanker isn't interchangeable with idiot 100%. There's more... Edge?
