wokewashing

Using woke idiology to justify actions or positions you would otherwise find immoral or wrong, or to gain an advantage over a member of a non-protected class.
1. Bruce initially felt wrong about taking all the credit for Ted's work, but he wokewashed it with the rationale that "straight white men have been stealing for hundreds of years, so now it's my turn".

2. Beth is really wokewashing Ted lately - every time he tries to raise concerns with her proposal, she accuses him of "mansplaining" and shuts him down.
