Get the Woke mug.The father of a daughter (or daughters) who tries to be a progressive feminist ally but often misses the mark and is sexist by accident.
Jack: I'm not like other dads, I'm a woke dad.
George: How's that?
Jack: I tell my daughters to wear whatever they want on their instas, even if it looks slutty. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Get the Woke Dad mug.Originally intended to mean "alert to civil rights issues" or "takes an enlightened approach to civil rights", its meaning has changed. It is now associated with adopting an obsessive, blinkered or deliberately obtuse approach to certain civil rights, particularly in relation to equality. It refers to an approach which is overall and on balance harmful to society, ignores context and counterpoints, and is ignorant of the wider ramifications of the position taken.
Under the pretense of being politically correct, the "woke" person is, ironically, asleep, in that they are ignorant of or unconcerned by the harms caused by their actions. Such harms may include:
• damage to freedom of expression and freedom of association
• the diminution of comedy, and artistic license in music and film, to the point that it becomes dull
• stifling of conversation
• fear of expressing an alternative opinion or calling out that which is evidently nonsense
• feelings of being browbeaten, helpless and living in a dystopian society
• diversion of societal focus away from more pressing issues affecting society
• the breakdown of language and societal structures
• discrimination and prejudice against others with particular characteristics - typically those who, in a particular location or organisation, are in a majority - under the guise of improving equality and acting on behalf of the minority.
The "woke" person may be acting in their own self-interests to achieve their own ends.

They is only one person, but they has a big effect on everyone around them. They's so woke that they can't function properly in life, it's hard to understand them, and even their friends can't keep track of their pronouns.
He's so woke that he's asleep.
Wokey dokey.
He's so woke that he's asleep.

Get the woke mug.A plague that slaughters the sanity of men and warps it into something insidious. The internet is its breeding ground, and if you see it, immediately run or shut down your computer.

Get the Woke Plague mug.An adjective to describe a person, ideology, or expression, that had its view built upon or influenced by, the anti-White, anti-truth, anti-male, anti-natalist, anti-tradition, anti-conservative, anti-heterosexual, anti-Western, anti-Christian, racist & sexist grievance factories of critical race theory & marxist intersectional theory.
A woke person is a person who believes Whites (men, cisgendered people & heterosexuals) need to give up their spaces, rights & self-interest, that all other groups are allowed to pursue & retain, in order to fulfil a moral imperative to 'equalise' society (specifically Western & White societies), & make up for real & imagined past & contemporary 'privilege' & 'wrongs' people of their same race, gender, & sexual orientation are presumed to have inflicted on others, even if in doing so, the results may be inequitable, irrational, obtuse to the stated aim, unfair, deleterious, genocidal, unbalanced or otherwise damaging to any party, society or the whole.
A woke person uses an artificial socially constructed leftist totem pole of worthy victims, and evil oppressors, to determine right & wrong in a situation, & differentiate 'moral' & 'immoral' policies, without any over-riding sense of balance, proportionality, impartiality or universality.

The latest Marvel movie is an exercise in woke morality. Storylines, genders and races have been chosen, not with respect to storytelling, quality or need, but to fit a presentation and approach that conforms to the dictates of critical race and intersectional theory.

Get the woke mug.Woke
"Woke" originated in African American English and defined awareness of and attentiveness to social and racial injustices. To be "woke" politically in the Black community means that someone is informed, educated and conscious of social injustice and racial inequality.
RIght-wingers who are angry that they suffer repercussions for using pejoratives to attack minorities, women, and people of non-trad genders use it as a cudgel to denigrate people who fight for social and racial justice. In its misuse, it is a form of hate speech.
It is a favorite term of Trump and his party. In the example, he erroneously equates diversity programs with unfair advantages for minorities.

“Our country will be woke no longer,” Trump said. “We believe that whether you are a doctor, an accountant, a lawyer, or an air traffic controller, you should be hired and promoted based on skill and competence, not race or gender.”
