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 will argue that it is human nature to lie. Dismissing that would be folly.

Anybody that simply dismiss's an argument with valid standing is not worth talking to.

Anybody that simply asserts their statement to be true, is not worth talking to.

Historically, there have been countless statements about the human nature proved wrong. Some of them were even used to support the most harmful idealogies like sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia etc.

It's never about correctness, science knows better than simply referring to human nature.

So you are dismissing it is human nature to lie?
