It's been happening incredibly fast. Every generation has been less racist, sexist & homophobic than the one before. Even within 10 years, you see attitudes change and racist, sexist, homophobic sentiments which were acceptable disappear from movies & polite conversation. https://twitter.com/buyaknife/status/996055041386696704 …

It was common to refer to women as 'birds' as equivalent to 'blokes' but 'birds' has died whilst 'bloke' remains. Wasn't seen as neutral. It was common to expect women to make the tea & wash up the cups. It is not now. 'Lady doctor' was a thing. Now it's just 'Doctor.'

It got less and less acceptable to define people by their gender/racial/sexual identity, less because it was policed and more because not doing so became more & more associated with being a good person and then just a normal person. I am afraid this is regressing somewhat now.
