“In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
They didn't CARE if they were "offensive". They told it like they saw it. Truth can and will hurt. Ask THOSE guys if they gave a damn if they stepped on your toes. You might want to draw those toes back, hmm? Your thoughts?
If that is what you are asking people to recall, I would have to say your title ought better to have been "Do You Remember When Men Were Assholes?"
It was only low-quality, boorish people who didn't "care" if they were offensive, same as it is now. Decent men were never intentionally, or uncaringly offensive. Telling it like you saw it was/is great in some situations, but many who "call it like they see it" have faulty perceptions.
Ask if they gave a damn? I am sure the type the OP describes did not/do not. I try to avoid that type of human. They have nothing to offer except a selfish and narcissistic attitude.
Don't misinterpret, dammit. I imply NOTHING. I was trying to lead towards Integrity. Naive? Certainly.
BUT. It's how I live. F*#k you if you don't like the Truth.
Deal with it.
Misinterpret at Will.
Circles within circles?
Of course. Think about that a bit.
Or watch The News. Those bastards make me want to puke.
So we have THAT in common, Canada Twirly(yes, I've heard of you{I think you RULE, BTW}).
WE must laugh, or we will surely cry(in our beer, perhaps?)
You need to man up a bunch there E guy. I fail to be impressed, not that it should matter to you.
Or does it?
I remember when men were able to say ridiculous things about other men and be paid for it. I'm not talking about Joe Buck here.
By the power of Johnny "Grayskull" Carson!
Let us know!
