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

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.

I'm mostly succeeding now at not calling another driver "he" by default. I don't know who they are, and can call them something better, as I just did.

I am so envious of anyone who can do that in their language. It would be so much easier...
