Can anyone who uses the word *Woke* ...

...tell me what it means to them? Because I haven't a clue.

I've seen it to mean feminism and men's right activists.. Anti-racism, anti free speech, people with colourful hair, climate scientists, parenting styles, breastfeeding, people who like the BBC vaccines and more. Surely it can't mean all of these things?

If you use woke in a non ironic way, what do you mean by it?

To me it's means very, very, very liberal to the point of taking it too far and taking on a ideology which doesnt make sense anymore. Liberal no longer means liberal aswell. I find that many 'liberal' people are not actually liberal and have disdain for certain groups or opinions that don't align with their own.

I have often heard feminism described as woke. Similarly it is often used perjorotively by feminists on FWR, so clearly feminists do not believe that feminism is woke.

What is this social movement that you think includes feminism, BBC viewers, TRAs and vaccines @OneAmberFinch?

This is false. It was originally used by African Americans, whose literature had several references to "woke" to describe social awakening. It was fairly recently co-opted by the right to pejoratively describe what in the past would have been called "political correctness"

Socially aware but taken a little too far to the point of flipping rather than balancing.

Feminism is a broad church and women's rights campaigning long predates wokeness - which doesn't mean that there aren't things done under the banner of feminism that are woke.

Woke is just an evolution of PC.
