I live in the DC area. As a black guy, I've dated these "woke" women before. All they talk about is asking how I feel about Trump, how oppressed black people are, etc. They often act so shocked that I don't speak "black", am a classical liberal who doesn't hate Donald Trump *(because I dislike ALL presidents)*, and are shocked that I'm a homeowner and own 2 vehicles and hold a good job.
I dated 2-3 girls like that, who were shocked and intrigued that I didn't seem like the "normal" black person and wanted to know more about that than to know about me.
Needless to say, I didn't ever call them back (though I think I may have with one for the hella it).
The fundamental mistake of that piece is that you can’t equate not liking woke culture with not wanting diversity.
Diversity is key for creativity or innovation - but only when it’s organic and comes on my itself. Forced diversity ignores a lot of what real diversity brings to the table and ends up actually being divisive.
Never did I suggest that women should not vote or have the right to own property. Those are your words. The correction I speak of should put an end to the demonization of men, Christians and white people. It is a correction that will put an end to the woke madness, PC and calls for socialism.
You mentioned voting.....some people should lose the right to vote. Those who collect government services and depend on the taxpayer for a living, those who cannot pass a basic civics course (unqualified to make decisions about our governance) and those who commit crimes should never have a vote or say in our government. Of course these changes will take a revolution. Everyday that you radical leftist “woke” folks push is one day closer to the correction I speak of.
I see. Can you give an ETA on this "correction"? Clearly, you have the inside scoop on this one.
Women aren't harassing and killing men because of rejection. It's the other way around. Men are actually using the rejection by women to harasses and/or kill women.
Some divorce is justified. No man or woman should have to tolerate abuse, cheating, addiction or refusal to support the family. I am not demonizing anyone for escaping conditions like that.
If however one just changes their mind, finds someone at work more interesting, cheats, or simply is bored or is in the midst of a midlife crises then there is no excuse. Since 70 percent of women initiate divorce it is fair to say many more women are divorcing for frivolous reasons than men are. Marriage is supposed to be a life long commitment, if you fail to live up to it for reasons other than those I listed then you have not lived up to your promise and you are in the wrong....period.
No, it’s not fair to say. Either prove it with a link to a research study supporting your claim or it’s just your opinion. Your very, very biased opinion.
And let’s look at your approved reasons for divorce:
85% of domestic abuse victims are women
Men cheat within marriage at a higher rate than women (21% to 13%)
And 11.4% of men have addiction issues, while 6.4% of women do.
Based on your list, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand why more women file for divorce.
How so? Who is recommending women not work, have equal pay, equal rights and equal CHOICES in life? I love it when the Woke argue in absurd extremes. Reductio ad Absurdum much?
Huh?
It is my opinion as a woman.
The need to control my reproductive system for a start.
You have your opinion, I have mine.
I don’t think I have ever been called woke but if that is what it is so be it. I take it as a compliment.
Have a nice day
There is no need for feminism today in the United States.
Women have every opportunity that men have.
Those still yelling FEMINISM are only hearing their own voices and haven't yet realized there is nothing to yell about.
This is simply not true.
How many CEO are women today?
How many senators are women?
We still have a long way to go, imho.
The pink ceiling is real, like it or not.
Some absolutely amazing zingers in the comments under that article:
My favorites:
"Will not date or marry a modern thot who wants to abort my children because she thinks her supply chain role at an ill-fated start-up is her great life calling."
... and...
"The dangerous rise of men who won't have sex with me." Careful Vicki, you're sounding like an incel.
those are great - but where are you seeing them?
i don't see any comment section under the article.
