Excuse me - I honestly only stepped out for a moment. OK, admittedly, I have been sort of distracted for the last decade - y'know - children- take up a lot of time... no room of my own etc.... But ffs - when I left it was all going very nicely. If used to be that if you wanted to be a little bit radical, you hinted that female sportspersons should be paid like men.... and although there was obviously unequal pay, sexual harassment and you were subjugated by your reproductive role, no one - and I mean no one - was confused about what a woman was.

So literally I just looked away for a few seconds, and wtaf.

There just isn't enough gin in my day, and whilst I'm definitely too old, and too weak to start arguing with everyone again, I find there is just no alternative.

More to my horror, I've woken up to discover that TRAs have taken all the cool jargon. Being "woke" sounds so sorted... and "TW are women" is definitely more catchy -if slightly preposterous. As redress, I decided to reclaim "woke". I'm awake and cross and almost menopausal.

Think like a lot of women I'm just miserably unsure about what to do about it, other than feeling cross.... though I find that is always a useful first step. Thought I would come over and join MN, as I heard you were a bunch of evil harpies, intent on dreadful things Confused [skeptical] Please excuse me whilst I get used to the archaic emoji system - looking forward to chatting.

Yes - this happened while I was a bit distracted with the children too.

It's like they waited for most of us to be busy, and then brainwashed the youth of today, into, - errrr - allowing the erasure of women. It's strange when you think about it.

Welcome. I’m curious to know what tipped you off about our whereabouts, Woke. Was it Twitter? Mainstream media? Seems like every time there is an article castigating MN we get another influx of refugees from Wokedom.

Is there a name for a flock/gaggle/meeting/critical mass of nearly menopausal women? I feel there should be and it should be epic.

Welcome Woke! You'll find it all quite informative and reassuring as I did that some sense remains here, amongst the women, the real ones.
