Thank you for proving the parent comments point.

He said "People used to make tasteless jokes all the time" and you equated it to "why can't we physically assault girls anymore".

There are shades of gray to all huuman interaction, and thanks to behaviour like yours where people jump to prove they are good, anything can be considered "bad".

Why should people in position of power get to choose what others should and shouldn't be offended by? Both with physical and verbal abuse, minorities and women have been told by people in positions of power to toughen up. All we're seeing now is the repercussions of those marginalized folks getting their voice. I'm sorry you don't like it when they complain about being abused, but telling them to just toughen up is absolutely the losing position to take here.
