Do you ever wonder...

...if some of the Uber-Woke secretly do question some of the current rhetoric, but have painted themselves so far into the corner that it’s almost impossible to extricate themselves.

I know a few people who are involved in an extremely “Woke” organisation. If anybody involved in this organisation were to express any GC belief, they would certainly lose their jobs, a large portion of their social circle, possibly even relationships.

There’s a bit of me that feels quite sorry for people like this. If they were to question any part of this, they would lose so much. No wonder the same arguments get repeated over and over.

Well, I do think it's an interesting question because so much of wokeness relies on the appearance of deep pondering while simultaneously doing everything possible to shut down rational thought (the use of mantras etc). So the biggest obstacle to real self awareness for cult members is that they think it's a virtue to refuse to investigate too much lest they 'invalidate' anyone.

Shout m8 at them then tell them to fuck off
That’s what men do

No time for fancy chit chat. Seems like it works

Or descends into all out war 🔥

Sorry, Why realise I have also derailed accidentally.

I agree - my colleague who wrote a serious-faced email telling me that I needed to understand that some women have prostates and some men have cervixes is probably in that situation - easier to state false facts than to lose social relationships and work 'wokeness' points.

Yes, definitely. There are lots of reasons why they continue to toe the wokeline and fear of life changing consequences is a big one. It will take a combination of increasing background GC noise (media, wider conversations, legislative fight back etc) combined with a few brave individuals among them losing their livelihood and social circle, for them to come out as GC.

Bespin, gender hurts people. If we binned gender, that hurt would end. Tell me how scrapping gender and being GC hurts anybody please?

FloralBunting · 05/06/2019 23:18

Rufus, it's very wrong and you should have a word with yourself.

Full disclosure, I am in lifelong posession of the most wondrous of physical attributes, the clitoris. In case anyone was stressing.

LangCleg · 05/06/2019 23:17

some of the posters on here who are gender critical and say there woman are sometimes clearly not

Me! Me! Me! I'm the first gerbil that ever learned to type.

Bet you lot never saw that one coming.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 05/06/2019 23:15

Is it wrong to really really want to know who bespin thinks is lying about their nether regions

pombear · 05/06/2019 23:14

And if anyone wonders if this is a 'pile on' to a specific poster (NB- usually a term only used to attack FWR posters responding to posts or threads that they're concerned about - wedding threads, parking threads, never a pile on, just lots of people with opinions!) Bespin has often flagged that they work with vulnerable children who identify as trans.

So Bespin's approach to this board, including 'lolling' at concerns raised about men competing in women's sports, disinterest in wider concerns raised such as those in this thread, and potentially personal attacks (eg 'you're not a woman'!) are very relevant to a wider discussion.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 05/06/2019 23:14

Oh see that hurts

They are, they is...ooh the pain

Ds1 and his boyfriends worst argument has been about whether they can be used as plural

littlbrowndog · 05/06/2019 23:12

Anyway good to see bespin back

FloralBunting · 05/06/2019 23:12

I realize I sound a bit like a Love Island contestant when I use it, though. Especially if I pair it with the neutral pronouns necessary on FWR. Like "Maate, they is talking rubbish!"
