I do not know what you are talking about. Feminism is an oppressor/victim based ideology- with men/patriarchy as the oppressor, and women as the victims. Feminism absolutely falls under the "woke" umbrella.

Take a toke
Then take a poke,
At a conservative joke
That might itself be woke.

Dude, people are boycotting Disney because of that company's embrace of woke-ness. That demonstrates there is short term hope for the future. Parents are also finding and utilizing alternatives for public schools in record numbers now in response to woke-ness in schools, more short term hope. The long term hope lies in the fact that conservative populations will eventually outbreed the woke groups, especially LGBTQ. Hope springs eternal.

In the grand scheme of things, these are all ineffectual measures. Woke tyranny will increase regardless. And as for conservatives out-breeding- if that were the case every generation should be more conservative than the last. But just the opposite is happening. And woke liberals are absolutely having children. Who do you think it is taking their children to rainbow pride parades and tranny storytime hour? I don't think it is the conservatives doing that

‘Wokeness’ doesn’t marginalize us as white males; it’s simply an awareness/concern re: social injustice and discrimination.

Um, is that why I see companies giving internships to underqualified students that fit specific minority niches in favor of everybody else?

Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with broadening opportunities and awareness etc. but please don't put blinders on about what is actually going on.

We had an intern last year that wasn't even that interested in the field....lmao....and my field is swarming with women and minorities*.

*not the right kind of minorities.

Just because the right-wingers are crying, doesn't mean they are wrong.

That is certainly how it is marketed to the public.
