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.

Maybe I've just spent too long arguing with aholes on the internet but to me calling someone "friend" comes across as very sarcastic and condescending

Edit, it's like calling someone you don't know "buddy" or "pal"

I'm not your friend, pal!

Listen here, buddy!

I could see it online, yeah. If you use a friendly tone in person it wouldn’t be a problem.
