Wokeness

[ClydeR]

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' channeled former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill at an Iowa campaign event this weekend, invoking Churchill's famous World War II speech to tout his own position on "woke" ideology.

DeSantis said in his speech on Saturday: "I recognize that the woke mind virus represents a war on the truth, so we will wage a war on the woke. We will fight the woke in education, we will fight the woke in the corporations, we will fight the woke in the halls of Congress."

What is "woke"? If it is a battle worthy of Churchillian imitation, then we need to know exactly what we're for and what we're against.

The Merriam Webster online dictionary has two definitions..

chiefly US slang
1
a: aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)
b: reflecting the attitudes of woke people
2
disapproving : politically liberal (as in matters of racial and social justice) especially in a way that is considered unreasonable or extreme

An attorney working for the DeSantis administration defined "woke" in a court case as follows..

DeSantis' general counsel, Ryan Newman, responded that the term means "the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them."

Newman added that DeSantis doesn't believe that there are systemic injustices in the United States.

According to DeSantis' attorney, Desantis is arguing against definition 1, but my sense is that most DeSantis supporters think in terms of definition 2.

You answer the question of “What is a woman?” and I’ll answer “What is woke?”.

Here's a good summary of what the word "woke" has degenerated into over recent years by retards like Seran and the people who are writing his NPC code:




And here's a more straight to the point version:




But you knew that already, despite how retarded you are.

You answer the question of “What is a woman?” and I’ll answer “What is woke?”.

This is correct.

Hey Seran and ClydeR, can you tell us what a woman is? Bonus points if you can do so without saying the word "woman" as part of your definition.

ClydeR isn't a biologist, which would be required to answer that question.

Or so says our newest liberal SCOTUS Justice.

[kutter]

I am with the SCOTUS Justice, I cannot tell you exactly what woke is, but I know it when I see it.

Ask them what a woman is. That will typically be the fastest way to get your answer.

[ClydeR]

You answer the question of “What is a woman?” and I’ll answer “What is woke?”.

That's easy. A woman is a female human.

[ClydeR]

I want to amend my definition.

A woman is an adult female human.

[Suppressed Poet]

I want to amend my definition.

A woman is an adult female human.

Just so we are on the same page defining female as per Oxford dictionary:

fe·male
/ˈfēˌmāl/

adjective
of or denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of gametes (ova) that can be fertilized by male gametes.
"a herd of female deer"
noun
a female animal or plant.
"females may lay several hundred eggs in two to four weeks"

So by that definition a biological man can not be a woman under any circumstances. Agreed?
